Proposed deletion

[edit]

Self authored vanity page by a non-notable person who has self published a couple of unremarkable books and has put up a few signs around Toronto purporting to name various things (eg: putting up a sign beside a puddle and claiming it is called "Bloordale Pond", or putting up a sign on a vacant lot and claiming it is a provincial park.) Her claim to have "had the idea for Bloordale Beach" is false, and would not be notable in any event. 142.198.83.51 (talk) 22:35, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to assume good faith here but the tone and content of the proposed deletion comment feel unnecessarily disparaging, focusing on dismissing rather than discussing Shari's contributions.
What may seem like silly installations are actually part of her larger body of public art and community engagement efforts. And she's been acknowledged in multiple media outlets.
I'd call that cultural significance, at least within the Toronto art scene. And that feels like enough to have a page here. Mmoreshead (talk) 14:24, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
