Pomona Envisions the Future

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A big mural but is it notable outside Pomona? I get a strong feeling that there is an element here of advertising by, or on behalf of, Kevin Stewart-Magee. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 05:26, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

 * My comment: This project was the brain child of Judy Chicago who is a world reknown artist. She also did The Dinner Party piece which is in the Brooklyn Museum of Art. Kevin Stewart-Magee was just the facilitator and lead artist. The mural took two years to paint. Many artists painted the mural. The City of Pomona just made it an official piece of city art by installing a bronze city plaque.

There are pages devoted to this mural in the major Southern California Art websites. It is mentioned in other articles in Wikipedia. Some important artists such as Judy Chicago, Judy Baca, Magu, Dextra Frankel, Donald Woodman contributed to this mural.

I took a look at other murals of note in Wikipedia. They have articles yet they don't have as many references, images or information as this mural. Why do people want to delete this article? What should be included in this article to keep it from being deleted?

One note. The article didn't include an image of the third wall which is an homage to muralist Diego Rivera. Can someone post one?

I also think it's "artifact" and not "artefact." Thanks. Hope I did this right.ArtWillSaveTheWorld (talk) 18:46, 6 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. This mural is culturally significant, was made by well-know artists, has its own website, there's good information on it from reliable sources such as Pitzer College and Cal Poly Pomona. There's plenty of room for improving grammar, syntax, POV, etc. Nonetheless, I do consider its relevance to be encyclopedic.--Dabackgammonator (talk) 01:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
