The only source is a stock image site, already non-RS, but also makes no such mention. The article is unsourced, basically. I cannot find anything about this supposed statue. Aintabli (talk) 20:48, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, thoroughly fails WP:V. The sourcing used to be even worse, with totally unrelated random bits thrown in. Gamlebyen and Bjerke are not close to eachother, and there are no sources about a discovery of such a relic. Deprodding it was a mistake. Creator has a "bumpy road" of a history.

I say delete. 🐲 Jo the fire dragon 🐉(talk|contributions) 10:07, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. Very likely a hoax. The head in the linked image clearly does not belong to a statue "10 meters in height". I can't find any other sources. The creator has been indefinitely blocked for... creating hoaxes. I'm surprised this had to go to AfD. – Joe (talk) 10:05, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
