Noncompliant with WP:NOTNEWS, WP:NPOV, WP:RS, WP:SYNTH, and it fails WP:GNG and WP:10YT. The bulk of the cited sources have trivial mention, if any mention at all about the fiberglass creation. The image has been nominated for AfD at Commons. Footnote #1, The Hill, was published in 2016 before the statue was created; Footnote #7 has no mention at all, and most of the other cited sources are not RS, and so on. The cited interview with Zegan was about the rally, not the fiberglass statue. There are thousands of political paraphernalia during political conventions and rallies - this is just one of many.

- Keep Two major news outlets coverage: NY Post CNN Dswitz10734 (talk) 18:34, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- NY Post is classified as not a Wikipedia:Reliable sources - but beside this you need by far more significant coverage to establish Wikipedia:Notability, your argument points more towards Wikipedia:NOTNEWS. CommanderWaterford (talk) 19:48, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - Agree with nomination; Does not meet notability criteria for GNG; also it is a COI creation, so it's likely that the article was created for promotional purposes. Netherzone (talk) 19:20, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Silly, end-of-the-news-cycle man bites dog story. If this is the same statue thing that was at CPAC 2021 (I honestly don't care enough to Google and see), then it may be worth a mention there. Zaathras (talk) 21:49, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
