galleries draw their (real world, not wiki sense) notability from the artists they represent, etc. That's what draws other artists to their portfolios. That's a guideline question though and not for this AfD. That said, this article as it stands is a holy mess. I tried to clean it up when I removed the speedy back in
January, but if you stub it down to remove the puffery it's an A7. If you add in the info on the shows/artists they rep, we're back to the notability question so stumped.
396:. I'm not sold that this gallery is notable, which is why I'm not !voting, but I don't think notability here can be completely separated from the artists. If there were write ups on the gallery (and may be in Hindi language sources) they'd no doubt talk about the gallery's history exhibiting A, B and C or hosting guests 1,2,3, that's what galleries do. How do you separate them?
439:
gotcha, think we're going to agree to disagree here. I'm still somewhat torn on this, but don't ultimately care enough about the gallery to try to save it. I tend to wonder along same lines as Mr. Stradivarius about language issues, but don't speak any of the local languages. If someone finds sources

I see your point, I just don't think it's that clear cut. I'm guessing by your bookselling analogy that you're a bookseller? If you're notable (not saying either way) you're notable for the books you sell, the authors you host, etc. If you don't have either of those, you're four walls and a roof. I

if galleries don't derive their notability from the artists/shows associated with them, what are the guidelines for their notability? The only reason people go to galleries is to see the shows. Otherwise, they're just buildings. Does this mean that no galleries are ever notable? Even those famous
