Comment: The sources provided are good to pass WP:GNG but needs more in depth information about the organization. NP83 (talk) 00:25, 26 April 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Looks like the Washingtonian piece (ref #2) is the only one that meets the WP:GNG standard, namely being independent and reliable secondary source, with significant coverage of the subject. We need to see more like that. DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:03, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Important organization, but it's hard for smaller organizations to be noted enough for Wikipedia. 2 or 3 more independent-of-Transformer-DC (that is, not the official website) with a summary of said sources in the draft should do the trick.

Programming
editTransformer is W.A.G.E. certified and offers a variety of exhibitions, panel discussions, exercises for emerging artists, flat file sales, and hosts an annual fundraising auction.[7][8] Celebrating 20 years as an organization, the Transformer20 exhibition and auction was hosted at the Corcoran School of Art and Design.
