Why Artenol is a valid article for Wikipedia

Artenol Magazine, a nationally distributed quarterly publication that is now printing its seventh edition (Winter 2016), was created in 2015 by conceptual artist Alexander Melamid. Melamid is a world class artist whose work, with his former partner, Vitaly Komar, is in every major museum in the Western world (please see their Wiki listings). Granted that the magazine is new on the scene. But it is unlike any other arts publication currently in print, if only for its distinctive die-cut covers. That Wiki would deem its inclusion in its listings inappropriate is, frankly, hard to understand. Mr. Woodward, the Wikimedia Commons admin who has opened this inquiry into Artenol's validity as a Wiki entry, appears to be an expert in lighthouses and vintage graphics software. Forgive, Mr. Woodward, but do you know anything about the contemporary art world? What qualifies you to pass judgment on the worthiness of a publication like Artenol? If you would like to learn more about the publication, perhaps you will contact me directly at ddann@artenol.org. Yes, I am the editor of the magazine which may, in your eyes, taint me as a shill seeking only to promote the publication. But I can assure that is not the case. This is a valid and successful publication, and it deserves to be part of the information that Wiki offers to its users. I look forward to hearing from you.
