It appeared from the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sutton Hoo Helmet (sculpture) that there was some sentiment for merging Sutton Hoo Helmet (sculpture) into the Rick Kirby article, especially among those who felt that this particular sculpture was not independently notable. I am reproposing that merger on that basis, and opening discussion. I have notified the participants in the Afd of this discussion. As I see it much of the material contained in the scupture article is not actually about the sculpture, and would not be necessary to keep (although it will remain in the redirects history after merger.) --Bejnar (talk) 15:55, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • The unspoken assumption of such a statement is that some of the material in the article is irrelevant. Sutton Hoo Helmet is a site-specific artwork, however, and so any discussion of it need necessarily include discussion of its context; the removal of that information in an to attempt to jam two articles together would fail to give a holistic account of the sculpture. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:20, 18 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hence the long article at Sutton Hoo. --Bejnar (talk) 13:46, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
