Move or delete?

This article should be deleted as a neologism not used by many; or should be renamed "Destination art", a more general and accurate term for "art people travel far just to see (before they die)". One of the cited references used this term in its title, only two use "Destination painting" anywhere in the articles. The other sources are about the phenomenon or particular works that might fit the description, but do not establish the term as being in general use. This article defines the term, but this could be seen as original research, another factor in favor of deletion.

Another indication of the need to rename is that Google NGRAM viewer had no results for "painting" but many for "art". --WriterArtistDC (talk) 02:26, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, probably. Johnbod (talk) 02:44, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't be opposed to an up-merge, although the two terms have somewhat different connotations, with "destination art" more often referring to installation art or site-specific art or works that are inherently (as opposed to by policy) non-portable. Probably it makes sense to do it as two different sections. Having an article for the phenomenon in general, which is covered in various reliable sources, is more important than the particular term chosen as the banner it's all under.
