I'm suggesting a merge as the artwork itself does not show too much evidence of notability on its own. It's actually pretty unusual for a work of contemporary art ti have its own article unless it is notable in its own right. This isn't the case here. The title of the work can be redirected to Maurice Benayoun.  freshacconci  talk talk  11:26, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak support As we do indeed have few works of contemporary art with their own articles there is something to be said for keeping those we have as handy examples, to fill the categories etc. The stub is longer than many. Johnbod (talk) 12:56, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This objection makes sense, and it should be merged with Maurice Benayoun page if "the Tunnel under the Atlantic" was not considered as a world premiere in contemporary art, of a televirtuality work, linking two continents and creating a dynamic semantic space.
 * Press articles, at this time (in France: le Monde, Liberation...), mentioned it as opening new perspectives in contemporary art. Then it became a reference for this kind of works. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.64.213.133 (talk) 16:51, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Un-merge
This article was merged in May 2012 with this edit: I above un-merged it because both the comments given in support read like reasons not to merge. The first says "there is something to be said for keeping those we have as handy examples", while the other states "it should be merged...if "the Tunnel under the Atlantic" was not considered as a world premiere in contemporary art", but then says "Press articles...mentioned it as opening new perspectives in contemporary art" and "it became a reference for this kind of works": Which sounds like notability to me. So I have restored the page and addded some refs to support the contention. I trust that is OK with everyone. Moonraker12 (talk) 15:09, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
