Untitled[edit]

I have been unable to find pertinent information such as artist, location history, and value. These are the websites I searched:

Multiple Google searches and viewed many website but here are some specific ones:

IUPUI website
Indianapolis Downtown Inc.
Riley Hospital for Children website
Clarian Health website
IndyStar.com (for current articles)
Lexis Nexis
Save Outdoor Sculpture!
Indy Cultural Trail
IndyArts
IUCat
JSTOR (I just searched anywhere I could think of)

Hit the pavement and picked up the phone for these places:

Called Riley Memorial Association
Riley Administration offices
Walked around Riley Hospital and asked at Question desk
Edward A. Block Family Library
IUPUI archives
Stout Library at the IMA

I searched every place that was suggested in class and also collaborated with Sarah but found little. It seems as if the information I compiled is the closest to a file!

Since I have three information boxes it sometimes messes up the article right around where the wall condition information is. I've tried to move that section down but I sometimes see it mess up. Sorry if it does it while you're viewing it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by KrystleB (talk • contribs) 17:58, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PROD discussion[edit]

How is it possible to delete something based on the statement:

"Sculptures do not meet notability requirements."

Of course the do. Please explain. --Richard McCoy (talk) 20:32, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Miyagawa, I am also curious about your rationale. There are many articles about sculptures in Wikipedia, though quality varies wildly. Given your own interests, perhaps you would enjoy checking out Roundabout dog or Greyfriars Bobby, for example. Outdoor sculptures, especially, are notable because of their constant presence in everyday life and the fact that they are products of artistic vision and craft.

Regards the deletion reason, I was referring to the various face sculptures, not the art in general. Regards the article in relation to notability, from your own admission on this talk page there is no verifiable information about the artist, or even the name of the sculptures. In addition, the majority of the information regards the actual sculptures and their location seems to be from original research, in contradiction of the rules on original research in Wikipedia. Moving this forward to Articles for deletion for requires further discussion. Miyagawa (talk) 21:10, 20 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
