Muse Art Gallery

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article has an interesting history. It was written in the main by the curator, and looks to be very much a promotional vehicle to advertise the gallery. That editor then himself removed the speedy deletion tag on 'his own' article. Even so the gallery itself has laudable ambitions. Despite the numerous mentions in sundry media I'm not sure that it is actually notable, though the Marriott parentage may be sufficient notability. Many of the mentions seem to be 'mentions in passing' so to speak.

So, since I am not sure, I'm asking the community to look at the article with care, not to be bamboozled by the number of references, but to follow them (and consider removing irrelevant ones so that the wood may be seen from the trees here), and to reach a consensus about whether it should remain, and, indeed, in what form.

Keep Appears to meet wp:notability. Needs a rewrite. North8000 (talk) 02:00, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You said it looks like promotional vehicle answer to this do you think Marriott requires promotion on wikipedia to help the society in a small part of southern India ? Muse art gallery is doing a good work to help the society and if USA Govt. web site is given a mention that they partnered with muse art gallery link is here http://hyderabad.usconsulate.gov/pe121010.html is this a mention of passing ?

If Microsoft Employees get to gether and do an photo show and raise money for charity and that was in the news in a prominent news paper is this a passing mention ? http://www.deccanchronicle.com/tabloid/potpouri/confluenceof-empathy-375.
