Article has no citations, and is a subjective "sub-category" of Performance art listing artists that have not made major contributions to the genre. Netherzone (talk) 00:49, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - recall that notability depends on the existence of sources, not what's in the article. The subject is covered in reliable sources such as Newsweek at some length. It seems to be quite something in Contemporary China, also covered in HuffPost, and in Russia. Not to everybody's taste but definitely notable. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:15, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: I have very little interest in art, but could tell you what extreme performance art was without having to look at the page. That and the popular press sources I've found make me convinced of its WP:Notability. My gut instinct is that its own article is warranted rather than attempting to merge with performance art, though a discussion could be had. If kept it does need to be better integrated into Wikipedia; it is not, for example, featured in the relevant Navboxes. PriceDL (talk) 00:30, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep – Meets GNG, perhaps on a somewhat weaker level, per a source review and my own online searches. I have added references and citations to the article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:47, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
