This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (your reason here) --Morsinkicongallery (talk) 14:23, 19 July 2017 (UTC) The Mosrink Icon Gallery is in close contact with the most important museums in the field of religious art in the world. The gallery collaborates with the museum by giving the icons on the loan and have sold icons to Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; The Museum of Russian Icons Clinton, Massachusetts; Ikonen Museum Recklinghausen; Museum of Russian icons in Moskow and etc. The Gallery director Simon Morsink is a leading specialist in Russian and Greek Icons. The texts presented on the page are written by him. Quite a big amount of icons on Wikipedia (Russian and Greek) are or used to be in the collection of Morsink Icon Gallery.Reply

  • I'm not finding much in the way of WP:RELIABLE sources to support notability. That the gallery collaborates with museums is not questioned, though this claim needs to be substantiated by objective sources. As well, that's not enough to establish notability, either--a lot of businesses work with museums. Also of concern is that the gallery appears to be writing this article. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 13:25, 26 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
