Statue of Elon Musk

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

The statue is not notable by itself, but was covered in press as everything else related to Musk. One line in the main article on Musk should be enough to cover it. Artem.G (talk) 09:13, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete - WP:NOTINHERITED applies here. And, the article is easily confused with a different 2022 statue of Elon Musk as a goat, which is more notable and does not have its own Wikipedia page.

 * Move to increase scope. I propose moving this page to Cultural depictions of Elon Musk or Elon Musk in art, since there are clearly other works to describe as well. Thoughts? --- Another Believer  ( Talk ) 13:06, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't agree. Is Cultural depictions of Elon Musk even notable? As pointed above, WP:NOTINHERITED applies here. 〜 Festucalex  •  talk  13:12, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Festucalex Template:Elon Musk has a section dedicated to cultural depictions. There are other statues of Musk. Wikipedia has many "Cultural depictions of XXX" entries. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 13:14, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * What do we have in that section? Three books, two documentaries, and two cartoon episodes. Template:Bill Gates has two documentaries and two movies, including a blockbuster (The Social Network), not to mention all the books about Bill Gates that aren't listed. And yet, there is no Cultural depictions of Bill Gates. All that stuff fits comfortably in Musk's and Gates' primary articles. 〜 Festucalex  •  talk  13:22, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, we already have Elon Musk filmography. 〜 Festucalex  •  talk  13:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Disagree. There's essentially 0 content here, and using a press release as a source isn't best practice. TheInsatiableOne (talk) 13:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, we would add a lot of additional content with additional sources... --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:41, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm unconvinced by hypothetically improved content, as opposed to demonstrably improved content. TheInsatiableOne (talk) 15:57, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I've already added some text about three additional sculptures. I'm reluctant to spend too much time expanding the scope beyond statues if there's a chance the page is just going to be deleted. This is why starting talk page discussions can be better than jumping to AfD. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 15:59, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Everything related to Musk got covered in press, but it's like creating an article "Memes twitted by Elon Musk", "Stupid things written by/about Elon Musk", "Something something of Elon Musk". I still don't see why it should be a separate article, and not just one sentence in the main article on Musk. Artem.G (talk) 16:09, 30 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - not notable. --Bduke (talk) 07:34, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment as per nom. The main article Elon Musk can simply cover the subject. Gothamk (talk) 14:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
