Does not meet GNG. Insufficient in-depth sig cov. The only source is a database listing. Searching finds mirrors of the database, mirrors of this article, and another fountain/sculpture of the same name. Since neither the artist nor the building where it is located have articles, no good target for a merge/redirect either MB 01:16, 30 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It would be possible to merge Trapezoid E and TriMet (sculpture), with some additional sourcing on Maki in to a single article that does meet the notability guidelines.Maki himself would meet WP:NARTIST, with his work in at least two museum collections: the Seattle Art Museum (SAM) [1] and the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) [2]. The oldest review of his work that I've been able to find is from September 1969. [3]. From what I can quickly tell, Sculpture (magazine) has done a feature on him [4] Vexations (talk) 18:59, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a few sources, and posted a few more on the article's talk page. Might need to visit a library or two, once open, to do more research. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:51, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge - The article does not offer enough to stand on its own; however, the article for the mentioned courthouse already has an art section. This could be merged into that section. Coopman86 (talk) 07:37, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Artwork is not notable merely for being public artwork, and sources and database listings here do not indicate notability beyond the generic. Coverage with its ___location is optimal. Reywas92^Talk 04:02, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT Coopman86, Reywas92, this sculpture was installed in 1975 at the Federal Building/Old courthouse that is a couple of blocks away from the suggested merge target, the Wayne_Lyman_Morse_United_States_Courthouse which was built 1999-2006. Therefore, the new courthouse is not an appropriate merge target. I couldn't find an article on the Federal Building where this artwork is located. MB 04:49, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In that case delete. I don't see what makes this any more notable than the other scores of generic art pieces at federal buildings (listed at [5][6]) or elsewhere. Reywas92^Talk 06:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Just redirect the page to List of public art in Eugene, Oregon. The redirect is potentially helpful to readers. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 14:04, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the redirect to the List of public art. The Trapezoid E is already listed there. Coopman86 (talk) 03:51, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
