No references found on a WP:BEFORE check. The article also reads like an advertisement and has no sourcing. Created by the obvious promotional account of User:Contemprints AmericanAir88^(talk) 23:23, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non notable and unsourced (practically the only sources are Wikipedia and their own web site). The SPA creator has not edited for over 10 years. The fact this article exists is due to sloppy patrolling and the fact that NPP along with COI controls were in their infancy in those days. Fails GNG.

Speedy Delete under criteria WP:A7 and perhaps WP:G11, clearly promotional, no claim to notability (other than "only printmaking facility of its kind between NYC and Boston," whatever that means). creffett (talk) 00:53, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The promotional tone can be fixed by editing. There is independent coverage of the subject, https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/26/nyregion/connecticut/26artct.html for example. Vexations (talk) 11:29, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~. Passes WP:GNG. The organization has non-trivial coverage in several publications, including this Google Book (here) and The New York Times (here). The organization was also the subject of an article in Printmaking Today, Volume 17, Farrand Press, 2008, page 23.4meter4 (talk) 18:45, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4: The first book reference is a directory of art institutes. AmericanAir88^(talk) 21:46, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I should have noticed that. On the fence now.4meter4 (talk) 21:55, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@4meter4: I also noticed that the NYT article is an "art review". A article/plane cannot be described through one article which is a review. Thank you however, for understanding that book reference. It could be a Indiscriminate source. AmericanAir88^(talk) 22:04, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
