Stephen the Great Monument, Drochia

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Probably most cities on earth have a fair amount of public sculptures displayed on their streets. Some of these are notable, but nothing really stands out about these. Certainly, they haven't received coverage in reliable sourcing, with forums, satellite photos and the like being used to source the articles. They're all less than 20 years old, meaning no inherent historical value can be claimed for them. And none of them are by notable sculptors. So I don't really see evidence of notability at this point. Biruitorul Talk 03:31, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * I don't speak to the others, only to the first: I haven't found a single source for verifying this, yet. I thought that I had, but it turned out that the sources that I found were mirrors of current and earlier versions of ro:Drochia.  (The source cited in support of this content appears to be an out-of-date mirror of the ro: Wikipedia's article.)  That latter, sadly, doesn't given any indication of what source this part of its content can be found supported by.  The nearest that I've come to a source so far is a source stating that a monument will be erected (and even that is short on detail and basically supports a single sentence in Drochia and no more &mdash; just as in the ro: Wikipedia in fact).  Whether what was planned was what finally happened, I haven't found a source to confirm.  I haven't found anything that supports treating this subject any differently to how the ro: Wikipedia treats it, or indeed for supporting this content at all, anywhere.

 * Delete the article about the Drochia monument, which doesn't even give the name of the artist/designer. Move and redirect the article about the Bălţi monument to Gheorghe Postovan, where the monument would support the architect's notability. The articles about the Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici monuments (neither of which name the artist/designer) should be merged to an article about Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici, which should itself be a merge of the articles on Doina Aldea Teodorovici and Ion Aldea Teodorovici .--Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 20:32, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I've merged the separate Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici articles, and added refs from the monument articles. --Ethicoaestheticist (talk) 20:56, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
