This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines:

Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty!
Articles on settlements in Cornwall should be written using the standard set of headings approved by the UK geography WikiProject's guideline How to write about settlements.
At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline.
These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish nationalism, etc) and should not overflow into other articles.
Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Notability[edit]

There are generally sources available that haven't been added to this article, which needs improvement to show WP:GNG compliance. A Guy into Books (talk) 08:38, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello A Guy into Books -- You make two arguments for the notability of this subject: (1) That it is like Harrods, and (2) that there exist good references that have not yet been put into the article. As to the first, I cannot comment. As to the second, I find that a common and weak argument as to why an article should not be deleted.

A subject company or shop does not inherit notability from its subsidiaries, shareholders, or its products. I interpret that in the context of an art gallery as follows: Simply selling notable works does not make the gallery notable. If one can demonstrate that the gallery regularly discovers unknown artists, promotes them, and makes them successful, then it, the gallery is notable. Insofar as St Ives specializes in Modern British and Contemporary Art, it should be doing just that. WP:GNG is a guideline, a suggestion that needs to be interpreted in the context of the situation.

Yes I agree. I have included the sources available on the web - they are probably not good enough so far to pass WP:GNG. "the gallery regularly discovers unknown artists..." now I know St Ives has a number of galleries which do this, they are interlinked and connected to the St Ives Tate, and it appears this is one of them, however I can't find any WP:RS sources to show this, so it is just original research. Part of the problem with the article is it only focuses on 'notable' exhibitions from people such as Sir Terry Frost. I don't know the gallery, however I think the West Briton and some specialist publications may be able to verify some of these details. A Guy into Books (talk) 12:19, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
