Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was to merge Ai Weiwei: Sunflower Seeds into Sunflower Seeds (artwork) Mduvekot (talk) 01:00, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Ai Weiwei: Sunflower Seeds be merged into Sunflower Seeds (artwork). The content of the Ai Weiwei: Sunflower Seeds article is more expansive than that of Sunflower Seeds (artwork), but Sunflower Seeds (artwork) is the better title. I would have nominated Sunflower Seeds (artwork) for CSD under WP:A10, but both are new enough that neither is really the "existing" article. Mduvekot (talk) 23:17, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I support a merge. Better than deleting this page and moving Ai Weiwei: Sunflower Seeds to this one's title. Meatsgains (talk) 01:58, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also support a merge. While we're here, should we use the past or the present tense for this artwork which arguably no longer exists? I have seen no reference to it being reassembled. Verbcatcher (talk) 02:21, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support, indeed since the two articles constitute a blatant WP:FORK, presumably accidental, on exactly the same subject, the merger should go ahead immediately as uncontroversial. Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:09, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are we agreed that "Sunflower Seeds (artwork)" is the best name for the merged article? Verbcatcher (talk) 22:34, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Archived link added, but it doesn't support the statement[edit]

"Smaller collections of the seeds have been exhibited in twelve exhibitions ...." [link]

I added an archived link to replace the dead one. But this list of exhibitions is a general one. It only lists the original show "Sunflower Seeds" at the Tate Modern. Minor point, I suppose, but perhaps someone else will come across a cite that supports our articles assertion? Pete Tillman (talk) 05:36, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
