• Disagree, works of art, especially notable ones such as this, deserve their own page.
  • In that case, should there just be a section on the Cubis series instead of a single work? Although there's a need to expand the David Smith entry to reflect such importance.
  • I could see a page being created to describe the entire series, but I don't think that individual pages created for the more culturally signifigant pieces should be disallowed. So, I respectfully disagree. AriGold 17:03, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
• Disagree. Properly fleshed-out, this page is going to crowd the limits for how long a page should be. Merging the Cubis series into this article would make it excessively long. ClairSamoht 23:27, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
• Disagree. Works of art and their respective artists should have separate pages, unless the artist is known solely for that particular creation. Since that is clearly not the case with Smith, the articles should be kept separate. However, I would advocate merging any future detailed information about other Cubis with Cubi XXVIII to create a solitary article about the series (similarly with his other series, if they accumulate enough information).
