Talk:A Gallery

NPOV

There is no attempt to write this article in a balanced way to represent the activities and history of A Gallery, only to use it as an attack article based on one controversy in one newspaper article.[1] See also Talk:Stella Vine. Ty 10:01, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Totally untrue. If you notice in the histroy, I actually added all kinds of facts and fully referenced articles about the history of the A Gallery. Any information which may have upset you is all fact, as proved by a secondary reference. Best wishes,

You misunderstand me. It is not any specific information that upsets me, but POV use of it. The article contained only information about the Stuckists and Scientology for 8 hours[2] at which point I added the NPOV tag. An hour after that you started to add additional information towards making it a rounded article.[3] Keep up the good work. Ty 11:04, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Since this article immediately discusses the gallery's religious "connections", should this become standard for other galleries? For example Caprice Art Gallery in Israel. Should its entry maybe highlight its Jewish connections? Johnalexwood (talk) 13:12, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

If that gallery is promoting Judaism or has a definite religious agenda, then yes, absolutely that should be included. If you've got reliable sources backing your allegations against Caprice Art Gallery and its "Jewish connections" as you put it, go for it. If your sources are credible, there is absolutely no problem or issue. Laval (talk) 01:02, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Gallery founder

"He talked to Isabella Blow, the fashion designer who overdosed on drugs in May 2007, advising that her problems could be helped by Scientology.[7] Scott had become a member of the Church during a trip to Los Angeles in 2001. He has said that the importance of artists is acknowledged by Scientology, whose teachings can help artists' work by improving their "emotional tone", which in the case of Francis Bacon was "all fear".[7]"

I'm not sure what this has do with an article about a gallery? Perhaps it should be removed. Unless this is an article about the gallery's founder or his beliefs in which case perhaps it should be renamed.StripeyBadger (talk) 13:04, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

It was an attempt to keep the relevant information within a single article, but, as you point out, this is probably not the best solution. Text (and accompanying image) removed and can now be found in Fraser Kee Scott, so the two subjects - gallery and owner - can have material relevant to them, but not necessarily to the other.

Scientology

Question: should the article include a discussion of the owner's involvement in Scientology? If so whereabouts in the article should it appear?  —SMALLJIM  11:19, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

As the sources show, which are reliable, the gallery was used to promote Scientology through religious workshops targeted toward artists and sales of Scientology books to visitors. Laval (talk) 11:22, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

That first sentence... "was" or "is"

Is the gallery still in existence? I noticed that the website is still up and running but there aren't many reliable sources saying if it is actually in (or out of) business... Shearonink (talk) 05:09, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

The Wimbledon gallery closed up shop back in 2009. There is only a website. The gallery itself isn't particularly notable except for Kee Scott's brief "relationship" with the Stuckists, and if you examine the sources used closely, you won't find much that would justify an entire article. The very few reliable sources that do exist could warrant a paragraph or two in the article on Stuckists and also his relationship with Tyler Shields. For the most part, as it stands now, this is a vanity article. Laval (talk) 20:18, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
