Another apparently non-notable art gallery, I can't see how this one meets WP:NCORP (which has been tightened up since the last deletion discussion in 2006). Sources in the page are two reviews of exhibitions, and a listing apparently copied from our article in about 2011. The gallery gets some mentions in the press in reviews of artists' work displayed there; there's something resembling in-depth coverage in the Huffington Post UK blog, which however is not a WP:RS as far as I can determine. Two verifiable mentions on Gbooks. A search for "Transition Gallery" gets four results on JSTOR. One is a false positive, three relate to a show by Francis Bacon in 1934. As an aside, I'm far from convinced that either Cathy Lomax or Alex Michon is notable either. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:55, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: While noting the difficulty in demonstrating a gallery project's notability distinct from its exhibitors from whom it cannot be inherited, as well as the analysis by Tyrenius in the 2006 AfD, my searches are finding brief notices such as this from 2010 but not the specific detailed coverage needed for WP:NORG.

Comment: I agree with the nominator that the notability for the distinct articles on Cathy Lomax and Alex Michon is debatable. However there is probably enough to consider distinct from their roles in this gallery to merit separate AfDs. AllyD (talk) 07:15, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
