WeiweiCam

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

The website for that this article describes was only active for 46 hours, and was used for the sole purpose to publicize a dispute with the government. The few facts in this article can be merged into the biographical article Ai Weiwei. Senator2029 • talk 20:22, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - Not independently notable of Ai Weiwei. Content best handled by merge. Sven Manguard Wha? 05:00, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Merge I distinctly remember this from AFD before, but see no record of it in the article. Weird. Maybe there were multiple articles. North8000 (talk) 01:35, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP This article should be kept as is. This is a specific project that is separate from the artist's page. It would be no different some other well known artwork having a page like other notable artists. For example Damian Hirst created The_Physical_Impossibility_of_Death_in_the_Mind_of_Someone_Living.

KEEP It looks like an art work. Shouldn't be measured(?) by duration.--王小朋友 (talk) 08:15, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP Weiweicam is a notable artwork by Ai Weiwei. Along with Sunflower Seeds, it is one of the artist's most-discussed works to date. It deserves its own article. Christopher Lee Adams (talk) 04:51, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Found two more references for the article, April 15, 2012 Daily News & Analysis and Globe and Mail May 29, 2012. With the sources in the article, meets WP:GNG. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 06:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Despite having a short life, WeiweiCam received over 5 million views. Many significant artworks have a limited duration, but few become as popular. WeiweiCam is a critical turn for both the artist and art history, the ramifications of which are still being sorted out. It deserves its own article.
