Contrary to the note of the editor who accepted this at AfC, I cannot see an indication that this sculpture is notable and/or has received substantial coverage. There's one purported article in what appears to be the local newspaper, which I can't find to check. It's also mentioned in one dissertation by a student of the artist, which I guess must be regarded as not indepedent [1]. That does not seem to satisfy WP:GNG. (As an aside, do we have a special guideline for public artworks? Maybe I'm missing something here.) -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 21:03, 23 November 2018 (UTC) Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 21:03, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

- Keep large public artwork on major street in a major city. Every other similar article I've ever seen has not been a problem to keep. You may need to search in another language for sources. The page has been live for barely a couple hours so hardly has had time to be found and improved by knowledgable editors. There is nothing promotional about this topic and no harm in having the page for anyone to find who wants to understand the symbolism of the artwork they see on the street.

- Comment There is guideline for buildings and objects see Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)#Buildings and objects. I'm not convinced this meets the standard for notability but not suggesting either way as I lack the language skills to look for sources. But then as it hasn't been in article space for long, suggest there is time for improvement. W C M email 22:39, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

- Delete nothing found in search. The second and third sources in the article are about the neighbouring reservoir, not the article subject. GNG fail. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 05:50, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
