Little Glenn

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Unsourced since 2004. No indication of notability. Only sources I could find were clearly copied from Wikipedia or just confirmed the statue's existence. Even if it's notable, it can't be sourced. Edward-Woodrow :) [ talk ] 13:38, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Visual arts and Canada. Edward-Woodrow :) [ talk ] 13:38, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Only found user-generated sources and sites mirroring Wikipedia, no secondary sources available. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 14:30, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: The statue has been in front of the Toronto Police Headquarters since 1988 so is a fixture of the city. Here is a photograph of the artwork to confirm it exists in a prominent location. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:33, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. The notability test for public art is not passed just by using maps or photographs to verify that the statue exists — it requires reliable source coverage about the statue in media and/or books to externally validate its social, cultural, historical or political significance, but none has been shown and I'm not finding anything else that would count. (And no, this isn't an "I've never heard of it" thing, either, as I can literally walk to TPS HQ from my home and have personally walked right next to this statue many times.) By comparison, the Egerton Ryerson statue at TMU didn't have its own standalone article until protestors tied ropes around it and yanked it down, and the Alexander Wood statue at Church and Maitland was long just two paragraphs within our biography of Alexander Wood the person, and didn't have its own separate article until the controversy about the BIA disowning it.

 * Delete - and merge content into Eldon Garnet article. The sculpture itself is non-notable per WP:GNG, however it seems the sculptor is. Netherzone (talk) 19:34, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * merge into Eldon Garnet as explained above. No notability as a standalone article. --hroest 18:21, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
