There is no evidence that this is notable. None of the pages linked to by the article mentions "Participationism", and no other citations or references are given. Also searching has failed to produce evidence that there is a notable art movement of this name. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:31, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete - zero news hits on Google, and few on [http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Participationism%22&hl=en&ned=us&tab=ns Google scholar], but I am willing to change my mind. Bearian (talk) 18:23, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Seems to be a Neologism, all references point to non-independent sources for one particular artist who is claimed to have invented the term/approach: no secondary sources to show notability. TrulyBlue (talk) 21:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment Yes, it is as TrulyBlue says. Each of the sites linked is a promotional site for the same artist: in fact it now seems that the article is close to being spam. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:33, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete. WP:NEO, WP:MADEUP. Niteshift36 (talk) 16:41, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete. Absolutely not a term in use for visual arts or graphic design/advertising related history/theory with zero sources found to boot.Deadchildstar (talk) 15:47, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
