Fails WP:NORG. A significant portion of this article is dedicated to a comma separated list of names cobbled together with numerous sources of questionable reliability for anything beyond simply showing connection between them and the organization. Graywalls (talk) 08:56, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Artist organizations like this are rarely notable, and why would they be? They exclusively serve a local community and we are a global encyclopedia. Aside from local coverage, I am not finding enough to say that this meets the stringent requirements of WP:NCORP. All I find are boilerplate descriptions of the org, show announcements and many, many, many instances of "x is a member of the Richmond Artists Association". There is no story to tell the world here that meets notability guidelines. The user Mitzi.humphrey, who has extensively edited the page, also self-declares as a past president of the org on her talk page.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 15:35, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
