The result was keep. Keeping, per previous nomination, and there isn't a guideline about how many citations are needed for notability - there are also more sources, we just need to add them. And public artwork? Surely notable! SarahStierch (talk) 05:56, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Elephant House[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A house in Toronto that has an unusual sculpture in front, but no notability. The only reliable source presented in this article is a mention in a fluff piece on unusual houses, where it is mentioned amongst several others. This alone doesn't really meet the notability requirements. This was actually nominated for deletion some years ago, however the nominator withdrew after someone promised to add more sources. That never happened, and I am unable to find any others on my own through various searches. Rorshacma (talk) 22:22, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Of the three sources, only two are usable. One is for a site called Roadside Attractions and it looks to be the type of site where you can e-mail the site owner via their hotmail address and get your pictures or location added. It's easily recognizable as a non-reliable source. I did find a nice lengthy article about this sculpture/house in the Torontoist, but this makes only two sources for this sculpture and we need more than two sources to show notability. As neat as a huge sculpture of an elephant is, it just doesn't pass WP:GNG. It hasn't received that much in-depth coverage in reliable sources, the person who created it is not someone that is so notable that all of their creations would gain notability, and the location it's in is not a place that's so notable that becoming a permanent exhibit there would give the artwork notability. There's just no notability here, at least not enough for an article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:32, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
