GNG fail. The sourcing here is sketchy: event announcements, primary source for the exhibition, and articles in what look to be custom promotional content sites (artslooker.com and odessajournal.com). Created by a now blocked sock who promoted Ryabchenko artists across several wikis. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article fails—in my mind—the WP:GNG test (and possibly WP:NOT, as well). The site itself is very pretty, but appears to essentially be a collection of various artists' work, along with their own descriptions of it. The former is fine, but the latter became problematic for Wikipedia when the StrangeTime website was cited as a source in several WP articles some (now blocked for SPI & COI) accounts were promoting (as part of some broader advertising scheme, perhaps?). I have no connection to the site, nor to the artists and their promotors; I stumbled across the whole thing when I was checking the addition of an "artist's conception" image to a technical article about a computer virus. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 17:21, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A non-notable online art show. The article seems more about promoting the organizer. RUNOFTHEMILL event with nothing that distinguishes it from the hundreds of thousands of other art events. Netherzone (talk) 22:22, 17 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
