Non-notable artwork, I can't find any good reliable sources on the material. Only significant contributor shares a username with the artwork, which is also a bad sign (while of course not being a sole reason to delete). (ESkog)(Talk) 01:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Sounds like an interesting artistic conceit but this here's conflict of interest, original research, non-verifiable and crystal ball-ish. Should be on the artist's own webpage. tomasz. 11:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep WP:COI This was my first Wikipedia contribution and the sunpendulum was the only project that interested me, hence the use of its name as my user name. I have followed the progress of this international project since its inception and considered it was worth an encyclopedic entry. Regards crystal ball, only one part of this project is unrealised. The major part has contributed to several major international art events. Crystal ball elements can be edited out. Similar wikipedia entries: Spiral Jetty, Christo, Bill Viola.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, W.marsh 17:00, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep on the basis ofthe explanation and the links. DGG 03:29, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Needs work, but for now give article chance to grow: i.e. incorporate WP:RS.Nomen NescioGnothi seauton 14:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The edits currently being undertaken on the Sunpedulum article are a result of comments in the discussion, i.e. they attempt to clear up issues of conflict of interest, crystal balls and reliable sources. They are not an attempt to exacerbate the problem further. Sunpendulum 12:07, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Why doesn't the artist have his own article? The artwork can only be notable if the artist is (Robert Smithson was notable before Spiral Jetty and would be notable without Spiral Jetty). It seems the cart was put before the horse (apologies for the cliché). I would also like to see significant edits to the article: it's far too long at the moment. Suggestion: merge this into an article about the artist. Scanning his bio, he's more than notable to warrent an article.

- Keep I agree with Freshacconci but want to add that an artwork that connects 12 different cultures in such a way is notable already based on this. Icichir0 18:27, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Needs cleanup, but notable enough. — Athaenara ✉ 07:09, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
