More Surrealismcruft, 94 google hits. -- Infrogmation 19:11, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Seems like a notable, widely documented group to me.--Gene_poole 23:43, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep Infrogmation, I was thinking about deleting this group, yet there is wide documetation on their work as Genepool mentions above. Their history, art and work are all documented in museums, galleries, and there was a TV Documentary on the Bravo Channel in Canada on their founding member Gregg Simpson that featured West Coast Surrealist Group's history as well as his work in surrealism. Plus, there is proof of their existence and work on the site that showcases their history. Though the 94 hits is really, really small and minor, I must vote to keep, though the very little hits would have me delete, I will vote to keep knowing that credible research results exist proving notability, especially among art scholars and museums.Classicjupiter2 00:51, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete... article opens with, The West Coast of North America, where there is a natural surreality in the landscape... er, ok... but article offers no evidence of encyclopedic content, wide review... smells like a stealth ad to me. Wyss 01:07, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Agree with Wyss, change my vote to *delete. Or someone needs to re-write the article.01:30, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)Classicjupiter2 01:36, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
