Barbed Wire of Christ

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

GNG fail. It looks like it is well sourced but the three books used as sources all boil down to one academic who is publishing all the books, with Kristek as author in at least one. Part of a small walled garden on the artist's works. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 20:19, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: this is one of a group of three similar articles nominated. The other two are Soundproof Aesthetic of Luxuriety and Promenade with a Neurotic Fox. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 18:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - This non-notable sculpture fails to meet GNG guidelines. Netherzone (talk) 21:08, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete when I reviewed the article for WP:NPP, I did not recognize that the Research Institute of Communication in Art has only published things about Kristek, and that the only other source is Mueller(1976) in Collage : Zeitschrift für Literatur und Grafik in der BRD. Update: strongly object to merge, because the article has no usable sources. Vexations (talk) 22:06, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge into Lubo Kristek per WP:ATD-M. See also WP:BEFORE, "If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article". Andrew🐉(talk) 10:56, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * REQUEST Can someone who speaks Spanish search for coverage? Does Google news cover as many news sources in that language?  Does the region mention this in their tourist information as a tourist attraction?   D r e a m Focus  13:28, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * My Spanish is limited, but I ran the title through a translator: Alambre de púas de cristo, and did a search. All that came up was the artist's wikipedia article in Spanish - zero press coverage, zero tourism info (does tourism info count towards notability?) The section in the Spanish article on the sculpture does not have any citations to support this work either. There may be something out there somewhere, but it seems unlikely.

 * I am guessing that if there was coverage of the item as a tourist destination, we would see some in English.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 17:42, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

 * MERGE Since nothing can be found proving this is notable, just merge it with the article for the artist.  D r e a m Focus  16:49, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * MERGE Most of this is about the artist, his history, &cet; this deserves a line in his bio and a photo there, but an an article is mostly needless reduplication. Qwirkle (talk) 17:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge into Lubo Kristek per WP:ATD-M Lightburst (talk) 22:47, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete as non-notable. I have questions about the sculptor's notability.  --Lockley (talk) 01:38, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Going against the grain here and saying I think there is coverage here that makes it barely pass GNG.★Trekker (talk) 23:09, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge I have recently copyedited the artist's page and looked for the sources. It is possible to find the titles in another languages by the images. I have found this artwork (Kristův ostnatý drát) in a Czech article as part of the list of important work by this artist (I added the source to the article). According to the sources, I would say Weak keep, but I "vote" for merge, because there are, in my opinion, pieces of information that should be in the main article about the artist. I see no sense in having basic information divided in more articles.Bibliof (talk) 16:06, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
