Not reality, but a hyped up artproject. Night of the Big Wind _talk 21:41, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per last time. You are implying art can't be notable? This got 86,000 hits at DYK, btw, even with no picture - smashing the previous record by a mile. It has had 365k views since it was created in late April, which makes it hard to argue it is too obscure to be notable. Johnbod (talk) 22:02, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I say art is not always notable and can be hyped up. Night of the Big Wind _talk 22:12, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - You'll have to get beyond your personal opinion here. Johnbod (talk) 22:16, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit confused at the rationale for nominating this. "Reality" has nothing to do with anything as long as there are sources to establish notability. This is a conceptual project, so no it does not exist, but that does not negate notability per WP:GNG. There are plenty of sources so this would be a keep. freshacconci talktalk 22:37, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article already mentions it is a concept, not reality. And concepts are an art form / work in today's art world. I added "art" before "concept" to make it clearer, and to me, that should definitely solve the deletion issue as far as "reality" is concerned. As for the project being "hyped up", that is a subjective opinion, and certainly not enough to propose an article for deletion. (Also, the page had already been submitted for deletion once, and decision was to keep it, and this nomination doesn't acknowledge the fact.)

Keep - Very bloggy sourcing and I'm no fan of grand artistic statements, but it looks like this one is encyclopedic. Carrite (talk) 01:12, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

request for speedy close as keep as author of the request I have had misjudged the notability by looking at it from an euthanasia-point of view instead of an art-point of view. Night of the Big Wind _talk 07:44, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
