Elemental Sculpture
Basically, I don't doubt that the term exists, but unless you can show that the term has a real existence outside your dad's PhD, you will struggle with notability, most PhD's don't become Wikipedia articles. You are, of course, welcome to try again, let me know if you need the deleted text  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  14:37, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~ . Several problems:
 * I deleted your article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It has no references at all, and if there is nothing published, it's difficult to see how it meets the notability criteria.
 * I accept that you were not trying to promote your dad's book, but one man's views are original research unless you can show that the term is reported in reputable publications that meet the reference criteria indicated above. ...something completely new in the modern history of sculpting... suggests that the term has no general currency.
 * Your list of sculptors and architects contains many notable people, but none have independent references to show that they considered themselves part of this movement.
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: ''
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that this term is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created.
