Trapezoid E

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not meet GNG. Insufficient in-depth sig cov. The only source is a database listing. Searching finds mirrors of the database, mirrors of this article, and another fountain/sculpture of the same name. Since neither the artist nor the building where it is located have articles, no good target for a merge/redirect either MB 01:16, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * It would be possible to merge Trapezoid E and TriMet (sculpture), with some additional sourcing on Maki in to a single article that does meet the notability guidelines.Maki himself would meet WP:NARTIST, with his work in at least two museum collections: the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) and the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) . The oldest review of his work that I've been able to find is from September 1969. . From what I can quickly tell, Sculpture (magazine) has done a feature on him  Vexations (talk) 18:59, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added a few sources, and posted a few more on the article's talk page. Might need to visit a library or two, once open, to do more research. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:51, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge - The article does not offer enough to stand on its own; however, the article for the mentioned courthouse already has an art section. This could be merged into that section. Coopman86 (talk) 07:37, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge Artwork is not notable merely for being public artwork, and sources and database listings here do not indicate notability beyond the generic. Coverage with its location is optimal. Reywas92Talk 04:02, 9 July 2021 (UTC)


 * COMMENT, , this sculpture was installed in 1975 at the Federal Building/Old courthouse that is a couple of blocks away from the suggested merge target, the Wayne_Lyman_Morse_United_States_Courthouse which was built 1999-2006. Therefore, the new courthouse is not an appropriate merge target. I couldn't find an article on the Federal Building where this artwork is located. MB 04:49, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * In that case delete. I don't see what makes this any more notable than the other scores of generic art pieces at federal buildings (listed at ) or elsewhere. Reywas92Talk 06:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Just redirect the page to List of public art in Eugene, Oregon. The redirect is potentially helpful to readers. --- Another Believer ( Talk ) 14:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I agree with the redirect to the List of public art. The Trapezoid E is already listed there. Coopman86 (talk) 03:51, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
