Can artist rendering be used under fair use?

I wonder, can an artist's rendering be used here under fair use? Two were released to the public and they are the only ways to illustrate the proposed work itself. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:57, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded two images and hope they are appropriate for inclusion. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:05, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A concern following September 28, 2015, WP:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests Copy-edit

Resolved

I have a concern about a sentence that appears in the last paragraph of the section Rebirth (sculpture)#Description:

The sculpture's color and dimensions were unchanged, but it would instead be made of glass reinforced concrete.

You've got "instead", but you don't say instead of what. Nowhere before this do I see any mention of the material the sculpture was to have been made of in the first design. If you don't know, or don't want to say, then the word "instead" should be removed. Corinne (talk) 16:49, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Corinne: This is very helpful. Thank you for your time and assistance. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:37, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What was it replaced by?

It is unclear if a replacement sculpture was planned or created. According to a TriMet web site, it looks like a Susan Zoccola leaf sculpture may have replaced this proposed sculpture, but it is not clear if this was a replacement or if it was planned all along.

Nice work as always, Another Believer. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:17, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95: Thank you. And great question. The sources never really said what works replaced the sculpture, if any, so I did not include them. I do plan to write about the public art installed at the MAX station, but I have not come across detailed information (by TriMet or otherwise) yet. The line did open up very recently, but I think we should soon have info about the Orange Line's public art, much like there is for the MAX's other lines. However, I think details about public art at the station belong on the station's article, not this one. If I do come across sources that mentions a work to replace this one, I would then add a blurb here. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:24, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:03, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Is there any indication that this sculpture isn't entirely of local interest? czar 05:00, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG applies. This sculpture has been covered by The Oregonian, which is the largest newspaper in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest by circulation, at least five times, in addition to other publications. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 05:13, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
