Artsy as a source

edit

Artsy acts as a sales platform, so is not independent of the galleries and artists that it promotes. The article has two references to artsy: [1] and [2] One is clearly identified as a press release and the other simply an announcement: "de Sarthe Gallery is pleased to announce Wang Xin’s second solo exhibition with the gallery". There is not a hint of editorial independence. The same is true of the subject's own gallery as a source of course, but that seems obvious enough. In summary, this article is not supported by independent, reliable sources, and unless those can be found, should be nominated for deletion. Given the editing history of the creator, and the involvement of a paid editor on the page about the owner of de Sarthe Gallery some clarification regarding potential undeclared paid editing would be welcome as well.
