[WikiEN-l] Wikipedia Art dispute pits artists against Wikimedia Foundation

[FT2]

Or even this as a comment on the AFD:

"Indeterminate.  If kept, it is surely non notable and should be

be commented on by reliable sources and of significant interest and
indicate to the closing admin that (CRYSTAL aside) it should be kept."

Anyone in the mood for an ancient Greek paradox? :)  'All cretans
performance art endeavors are non notable' :)
