"Postmodern art movement". Looks to be pure original research as I can find no coverage of this. Look at the many sources, which go to pictures and unreliable. WP:MADEUP. "Contested" prod with no rationale. Christopher Connor (talk) 05:46, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Fails WP:V and WP:RS. I had originally tagged the article has using self-published sources. Its creator removed the tag without adding primary sources that come from tertiary sources. ----moreno oso (talk) 05:49, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are no sources to establish notability for a term which appears to be retroactively being applied to artists, many of them dead. I also the use of unrelated quotes by artists describing their work used to legitimize the term, again after-the-fact. Fails WP:N and WP:RS; obvious neologism and original research. freshacconci talktalk 20:12, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is a possible article not on a specific movement but on the phenomenon of artists who advocate that they and/or their lives are art. I had a go at converting the article to this, but the sources were not sufficient, being mostly WP:SPS, blogs, myspace etc. Ty 06:54, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There's probably someone out there (and hopefully for our purposes more) who has written about Gilbert and George and others who live their lives as art. But there would need to be some existing catch-all term, otherwise it would be a subset of performance art. freshacconci talktalk 11:50, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
