Montana State Capitol

Reason

Per Talk:Montana State Capitol this is not the actual building. The LOC source indicates that this is a competition drawing and not the final design. Thus, its only EV would be in a discussion of the design competition for the building, which doesn't exist.

Keep. It actually has high EV for George R. Mann, and according to this source also for Montana State Capitol, so probably will sooner or later have a place there as well. Elekhh (talk) 06:07, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes and no. Per that source you link to, I would argue that it has good value for Arkansas State Capitol, as it was this design that got him the job, but the Arkansas article needs to be expanded. It still has little value for Montana. howcheng {chat} 08:04, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - So it has "some" EV for two or three articles... Elekhh (talk) 10:13, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I still think really only the Arkansas article, but it would have to be expanded first. howcheng {chat} 17:26, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. It's pretty clear from the original discussion that participants thought this was a picture of the building and considered its EV accordingly. Also, I'm not sure it's the best image for George R. Mann; wouldn't File:Arkansas State Capitol.jpg work better? Chick Bowen 03:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I find both images have high EV for the article (now both included), and I see no reason why wouldn't be place for 2 FPs, when a duck or a House Sparrow can have 2. :) Elekhh (talk) 05:05, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. Very little EV. Kaldari (talk) 20:31, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you please explain why you consider it has little EV? It is a notable design [1], for a notable building, by a notable architect, and very influential [2] on the design of another notable building. Elekhh (talk) 00:57, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's not a notable design for the Montana capitol because it wasn't chosen. howcheng {chat} 02:18, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I would say is notable for Montana as well (not only for the other two articles), as it was the winner of the first design competition for the Montana State Capitol [3]. Elekhh (talk) 02:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - All right, I concede the point. None of this information is in the article, however, so you can hardly fault me for my line of thought. Can you work on expanding the articles? It would really help to have the image in context, then. howcheng {chat} 04:46, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        All right. I actually posted a request at WikiProject Architecture a couple of days ago for this to be done, since American neoclassicism is neither my expertise nor my passion, but nobody showed up so far... So yes, I can work on the expansion. Elekhh (talk) 05:01, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
