Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Gladys the swiss Dairy Cow

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I strongly object to this AFD. Having read wikipedia's deletion criteria, I fail to see the grounds for deletion. Ths subject is a factual discussion of a serious work of art. the images are public domain, and the content is of wide interest to the community. The problem here is that I havent had time yet to continue create the content - but I plan to demonstrate the intellectual property, techniques, evolution and and artistic history that is behind Gladys

You see, gladys the swiss dairy cow is in fact a serious and very well known piece of ongoing performance art- having been created in over 50 forms and has appeared on television, been front page news widely circulated publications inclusing the Connecticut Post, on more than a dozen occations, and has been featured in two parades.

An article documenting her development, the artists creative methods and the overall artistic merit is at least as worthy of entry as any other artists work.

In fact, here is an image of Gladys in the artists workshop, with construction details to follow - She is in progress for a christmas piece of performance art. Now tell me that an insight into the artistic process is not encyclopaedic content! Image:Gladys_in_progress_christmas_2006.jpg



Note to the admin who rejects the AFD: just wait to see how much interest the completed article generates.--68.191.43.133 01:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)


Now - maybe somene you can help me on the fine points of wikipedia. I really don't know how to make sure that I have followed the formal criteria to object to the deletion - so if I've midded something I would like to know and I'm not sure what to do to get out of deletion jeopardy - but I'd be glad for your assistance.
