This was PRODded by me and deleted in December 2020, then recreated following User:Vh502's objection in February. Vh502 hasn't responded to my inquiry at their talk page or taken any steps to improve the article, and I can't see that anything's changed to indicate that the gallery's become notable since the article was deleted. As such, my PROD rationale still applies: Doesn't appear to meet the notability guideline for organisations, and appears to have been created and maintained mostly for promotional purposes. There's a certain amount of coverage of specific exhibitions held at the gallery, and some listings and the like, but I haven't been able to find significant coverage in reliable sources. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:50, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Business exists but does not appear to meet WP:NCOMPANY/GNG. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:17, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~Draftify (as per below) Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages nor a platform for promotion. Notability is not inherited. If this gallery was notable in its own right, somebody would have written *about the gallery* and not about one of the exhibitions. Topic fails WP:NCORP. HighKing⁺⁺ 20:23, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move to draft. Having worked on a few articles about art galleries, it is apparent that some businesses denoted as art galleries are purely commercial entities directing their trade towards people looking for an aesthetically pleasing wall-hanging. Some, on the other hand, function more like small museums, and serve a more significant function for society and the arts. This one appears to tilt more towards the latter, but sources discussing the gallery itself rather than its exhibitions would be useful to demonstrate this point. I would move to draft to provide an opportunity for such sources to develop. BD2412 T 01:15, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify per BD2412 - it appears to have some coverage. I'd be willing to work on it after my exams. Bearian (talk) 01:34, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify per someone above willing to work on what doesn't seem like an article suitable for mainspace just yet. jp×g 03:48, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
