Article subject is an art collector who appears to fail notability. While some sources discuss the subject, only one appears to be independent and most are actually about the art gallery he runs (which I believe may actually satisfy notability for an article of its own) and only mention him in passing. (A possible solution might be to merge to an article about the art gallery if such an article were created.)

Note There is also a strong suspicion of COI as the article was created and edited by a user with the same name as the article subject. --

Redirect or Merge to an article about the gallery, which has a decent amount of coverage. This person's article is rather puffy as it stands, and I'm not seeing enough discussion of him outside of the context of the gallery.

Some coverage in ArtNews about him and the gallery, but trivial, only about half a page. First one that comes up is a Forbes contributor piece, so not valid.

@
Oaktree b; As it stands, there is no article about the gallery as far as I'm aware. At least under the name cited in some of the sources. --

I'm ok with a !delete if it ends up going there.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,

Keep, seems to have good GNG coverage as an art collector, plus is an author and publisher. His fields of collection are highlighted on the page and in his bibliography.
