Spotted this while checking links in another article I AfD'd. Fails WP:NCORP, WP:NONPROFIT. It's a run of the mill local organization for local causes. It is full of unsourced contents and contents sourced from sources that don't meet WP:RS and given the local nature, I don't feel sources exist that satisfies NCORP.

comment while the article looks rather nicely written, the sources fail the WP:NORG criteria. Style Weekly is a local source. The books don't pass WP:AUD, so on. Graywalls (talk) 01:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Subject fails WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV. This is another of Mitzi.humphrey's articles where she has a CoI. (She mentions herself in the article but doesn't make the required disclosures.) She was clever in writing this because she piled-up a bunch of mere mentions in local papers. Much of the drive-by coverage is actually about the art exhibits but generally nothing about the Artspace, per se. Some of the citations are from the subject. I saw one citation from Virginia's tourism website. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:07, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete based on current article state. This kind of local artist's society is rarely notable. The article itself needs TNT.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 01:22, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Frankly I looked at the article & thought, wait, well-sourced, well-organized, cogent, what's the problem again? But the more I clicked into Mitzi.humphrey's work, it became obvious she's produced a raft of COI problems, and refused to curb her poor habits after repeated warnings. This article is thorough and detailed coverage -- cruft -- of a non-notable local art gallery. I regret the wasted effort on her part but the article doesn't belong here. --Lockley (talk) 20:08, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
