Whitfield Fine Art


This appears to be a self-promotional article. The content is all from User:Digitalmaterial, who also created the article Clovis Whitfield, about the owner of the gallery, which was a copy-and-paste job from the page about him on the gallery website. Most of this user's edits have been to insert links to this article from other pages. — Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   16:33, 27 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - no sources or references at all to establish its notability, and I can't find anything noteworthy through Google either so it fails WP:V and WP:ORG. Possibly also WP:COI and maybe even WP:SPAM but I'm not completely sure about these last two. Jayden54 16:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:V Scienter 18:42, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - Sorry I didn't know 'cut n' pasting' was not allowed. These were my first entries to Wikipedia. I have now changed the entry which I think should be kept for it is an important international gallery that has made important contributions to both historical and commercial aspects of the art world.

 * Can you provide some sources for these important contributions? Maybe some newspapers or other well-known publications have written about this gallery? If you can add some of these references to the article it would help a lot, and would probably prevent deletion of the article. Jayden54 17:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as spam. Fails WP:CORP.  Vegaswikian 19:53, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
