The Elephant House[edit]

~~Article about a single work of art with little claim for notability, and an external link to the artist's website. Possibly self-promotion. Tivedshambo (talk) 08:52, 26 January 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]

Nomination withdrawn - some citations have now been added which indicate a sufficient level of notability. The article is still orphaned, and I will tag it as such. Tivedshambo (talk) 07:39, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I walk by this piece all the time and went to school with the artist, so it may be a conflict of interest for me to !vote. There has been some limited press coverage (although it mainly treats the work as an oddity or within a "what is it" type of fluff piece). I'm not convinced that the work itself should have an article. If the artist meets notability guidelines, perhaps an article on him, with this merged. freshacconcispeaktome 13:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found a good write-up in the National Post. I suspect there are enough references to keep it, if anyone wants to find them, and also that the artwork is more notable than the artist. Tyrenius (talk) 03:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep we don't have too many articles on modern sculptures. Johnbod (talk) 23:12, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, seems reasonably notable - Modernist (talk) 04:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep provisionally as it has some regional and national coverage, one source provided since the nom and more promised. Not a world renowned sculpture, but one which gets more attention than the average for whatever reason. Tyrenius (talk) 02:57, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
