Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/National Portrait Gallery copyright conflicts
It appears that the three arguments for deleting the article are a failure of |the general Notability guideline, |the policy on Biographies of living persons, and the policy on OT|What Wikipedia is not with relation to being OTNEWS|News reports.'''(a)''' The article seems to handily meet the nutshell description of the GNG ("having received significant coverage in Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources|secondary sources that are Wikipedia:Verifiability#Sources|independent of the subject"), currently citing ''BBC News'', Reuters UK, and ''The New York Times'' among nine others.  '''(b)''' While this is not strictly a biographical article, the information that does pertain to a |living person ("Derrick Coetzee") is all cited to the |reliable sources referred to above (to the extent of every sentence mentioning the LP).  '''(c)''' Lastly, OTNEWS doesn't offer any hard and fast criteria, but the section pertaining to this article appears to exclude "routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism"; reading the article, I find it neither meets those criteria nor is of 'transient notability' by judgment and as evidenced by those commenting here
