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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
