Notability concerns

[edit]

Having gone through the sources in the article, I don't see Braathen meeting WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. Of the sources cited:

  • The Atlantic: 2 brief paragraphs about her art salon, in an article about many different salons.
  • upperdelaware.com: local, promotional ("things to do")
  • springriverschool.org: no contribution to notability
  • artforum.com: no contribution to notability
  • journals.openedition.org: no contribution to notability
  • recordonline.com: no contribution to notability
  • artnet.com x7: no contribution to notability
  • Orlando Sentinel: no contribution to notability
  • CUE Art Foundation: no contribution to notability
  • Art in America: no contribution to notability
  • "specific object": no contribution to notability
  • Beyond Kandinsky: no contribution to notability

In my own search, I find many brief mentions of her gallery, but no significant coverage of her. Schazjmd (talk) 00:14, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Barbara Braathen is the gallerist/curator/presenter, not the artist featured in these shows reviewed by many art publications. Her notability is in her pioneer work as a major player in the Eighties in New York City when she showcased emerging artists, as Jean Michel Basquiat. Cynecitta (talk) 14:24, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
