The result was keep. Given the suggestions below, I will boldly move the article to David Castillo Gallery as the content centers more around the Gallery's notability. — Scientizzle 14:05, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Overly promotional, written partly in the first person (author most likely has a COI). I have concerns about his notability (WP:NOTABILITY), and I think the coverage in the sources the author has provided is borderline. Claritas (talk) 15:46, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete. It is written terribly also. — Timneu22 · talk 15:52, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The David Castillo Gallery is well known, so the only question is whether that should be the article title (probably). There are quite ample sources in Google News, including the Miami Herald and The New York Times, and 18,500 Google hits. Galleries attract attention for their activities, which are usually the jury-selected art fairs where they are included (notable ones such as the Armory Show in this case) and the shows they stage, e.g. "Wynwood Wonder at the David Castillo Gallery".[1] I note the article creator has taken steps to improve the article since the nom. COI is of course not a reason to delete. The "promotional" material (various accolades) is cited to sources, so valid, and thereby testifying to notability. Ty 22:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
