Alexander Pushkin (Bourganov)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No indication of notability of this statue by itself. Fails WP:GNG. Cannot determine if a reasonable redirect target exists. Contested PROD with request this be taken to AFD. Ravendrop 02:24, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Reliable sources have written about this statue, as it is the first statue of a Russian literary figure to be erected in the United States. There's, , (which I admit is more about Whitman and homophobia in Russia, but still). A quick mention in Washington Life Magazine: . There are two articles available behind paywalls from National Public Radio. The statue appears to have gained enough third-party notability to be notable. I'll add a few of these references to the article. --NellieBly (talk) 02:40, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per NellieBly; GNG appears to be satisfied, prominent work by notable artist. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 03:34, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep I favor articles about public art works, and this one is fairly well referenced. It would be desirable to add information from references that discuss the artistic merits and cultural significance of the sculpture. Cullen328 (talk) 06:22, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment If the article is kept, I think it needs to be renamed. I know this isn't the exact right place to raise this, but may as well since its visible at the moment.  I would suggest Alexander Pushkin (Bourganov statue).  Ravendrop 17:38, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
