Article does not establish the notability of this public art event - one of probably tens of thousands mounted every year by towns and cities around the world. WP:EVENT states topic must be "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". All art events are actively promoted by their organisers, and receive local media and publicity coverage, but this one does not seem to stand out in any way (unlike Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red). Nor does it meet WP:DEPTH. I've been unable to find any specific wikipedia notability policy on past or forthcoming temporary art/exhibition events such as this, and wonder if this is almost WP:ADMASK. As a former museum curator myself who worked in art galleries, I love to see every single public art event promoted and recorded; as a Wikipedian I cannot see the appropriateness of its retention here, and would prefer just a brief line and image in the page on Wolverhampton. I suspect other editors may regard this as borderline, so before bringing other similar articles forward for consideration, I would welcome seeing their opinions.

Comment, as this event involved over 200 penguin sculptures and being a member of the Penguin Cabal (SQUAAARRRKKKK!!!), this definitely deserves a wikiarticle Coolabahapple (talk) 05:06, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
