I don't think this public sculpture of a shopping fox meets notability criteria for works of art. Fails WP:GNG. The sourcing is weak, a blog and what appears to be a human interest story. A BEFORE search finds social media postings but not anything of substance. Bringing it here for the community to decide. Netherzone (talk) 16:20, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Merge with Florentijn Hofman. -- Itzcuauhtli11 (talk) 18:08, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep.There seems to be quite a few news stories from when it was built/completed in 2020[1][2][3][4][5] and it's now getting sustained coverage such as this 2024 book[6]. The alternative to deletion would be a merge to Florentijn Hofman. Jahaza (talk) 18:06, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding those, Jahaza. The book, 1000 Things to Do in the Netherlands, is not a serious art historical analysis, it's like a tourist guide, so I wouldn't consider it a reliable source. Good work on finding the local news articles about the progress, but again, not sure about these, as it's local coverage reporting on a local spectacle. You came up with an excellent merge target as an alternative to deletion, makes a lot of sense. Netherzone (talk) 19:14, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge urgently into Florentijn Hofman. Totally unclear why this was spun out. gidonb (talk) 02:43, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
