This article is about a very insignificant thing and is not well written. I don't see how it can be improved much. United States Man (talk) 21:17, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

WP:ARTIST, WP:ORG Smacktina —Preceding undated comment added 04:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - The subject of this article is assuredly not insignificant. subRosa is an internationally active group of artists. This article can be improved by discussing more specific information about the group and listing some of their projects. They have published a book entitled Domain Errors about their practice and the cyberfeminist movement. Their work has been shown nationally and internationally, associated with institutions like the Art Institute of Chicago and Brown University. See their projects here: subRosa.
 * WP:ARTIST does not apply here because this is not refering to a single person. WP:ORG doesn't apply unless you can dig up some reliable sites at which this has received significant attention. United States Man (talk) 06:06, 10 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Do academic articles about the organization count as "significant attention"? See Motter, Jennifer L. “Feminist Virtual World Activism: 16 Days of Activism Against Gender Violence Campaign, Guerrilla Girls BroadBand, and subRosa.” Visual Culture and Gender 6 (2011): 109-119 and Flanagan, Mary, and Soyin Looui. “Rethinking the F Word: A Review of Activist Art on the Internet.” NWSA Journal 19 (2007): 181-200. I would also like to include that subRosa's work is funded by Creative Capital, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization. See this page about subRosa that lists their achievements. Some of these achievements include: a grant from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, inclusion in the Pittsburgh Biennial in 2011, as well as publishing widely in academic peer-review journals such as n.paradoxa, “Bodies Unlimited: A Decade of subRosa’s Art Practice.”. subRosa's work has been included in exhibitions internationally, such as CyberFem a show at Espai d'art contemporani de Castello (EACC), Castello, Spain. If I need to list more, I will. But this should be sufficient. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smacktina (talk • contribs) 23:03, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Smacktina, links to the two journals could help support notability provided they are not unknown blogs. As the work of this organization has been widely exhibited, you can establish its notability by citing links to reports (critical or otherwise) in reliable independent sources such as major newspapers, magazines, television coverage or books (i.e. not self-published) or any awards?

 * Thank you, Kooky2. I added links to the academic journals, which, surprisingly, have the PDFs available for free. The group was also included in this book, The Object of Labor published in 2007. They were also featured in this exhibition at MASS MoCA, a notable US contemporary art museum: http://www.massmoca.org/event_details.php?id=38. They have also been added to The International Year of Co-operatives Pittsburgh Organizing Committee for 2012: http://iycpoc.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/directory.pdf. I also am linking two exhibition reviews about their work that appeared in the Pittsburgh Biennial, one from the Pittsburgh City Paper and one from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smacktina (talk • contribs) 23:50, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep on the basis of the references provided. I cannot see why they have even be imagined as being blogs, DGG ( talk ) 05:40, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, good deal of coverage across multiple reliable sources. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 18:30, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep and improve. The references given so far are pretty good, and I see lots more coverage of this group when searching GBooks for "SubRosa Faith Wilding". Altered Walter (talk) 12:34, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
