 * Keep the sculpture and fountain are a part of a major college campus (University of Illinois) in Chicago, and honor a developer of that campus. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:01, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - 10 minutes of looking revealed multiple independent secondary sources with in-depth coverage of the topic. Those are now in a rudimentary general references section. This artwork is part of a series, and other series members have been developed into decent little articles. Let me see what I can do to this one in an hour. -- DontCallMeLateForDinner (talk) 02:24, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. The article states that UIC Skyspace is an art installation. There are not explicit guidelines for art, but compared to other artwork like Cloud Gate the sources do not demonstrate how this art is more notable than other art that rises to GNG. Multiple parts of the sourcing added are efforts to mask notability. For example, the statement Earl Neal Plaza, the site of the installation, is the site of the former Maxwell Street Market, home of the Chicago specialty, the Maxwell Street Polish. The broader development of the campus has faced criticism for continuing gentrification in the area. Contains an amount of fluff related to the unrelated creation of the Maxwell Street Polish and the broader development of UIC.--Mpen320 (talk) 04:16, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
