Media Art Histories was created in late 2015. I'd never noticed it but I recently saw a posting on facebook announcing its creation. Full disclosure, I'm part of that facebook group and this is an area of research I'm engaged in (in real life). If you can't follow the link, it says: "Welcome to the new MEDIA ART HISTORIES Wikipedia page, your reference portal for exploring the interdisciplinary research into NEW MEDIA ART!"

I'm going to guess that it's mostly harmless, but the page itself has many problems (WP:OR, tone, etc). Others may want to stop by and help out. I don't believe it warrants deletion, although a name change to Media art history (singular, lowercase) may be best. I think it's a valid topic but the page needs more work than I can devote at this time. My main worry is that it may devolve into POV issues and more original research by well-meaning editors who may not understand how Wikipedia works and it currently is probably not on too many watchlists. freshacconci talk to me 17:55, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to help out, but the situation is confusing. Cubitt and Thomas (Relive: Media Art Histories) and Grau (MediaArtHistories) both use the term "Media Art Histories" and not "Media art history", in their book titles, but are signatory to the manifesto that refers to the field as "Media art history". So, which is it, and why is one more authoritative than the other? Mduvekot (talk) 18:29, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
