Talk:Vanna Venturi House

"literally giving the finger"?

Was it literal? Qzekrom (talk) 01:00, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, see the video in the ref, 2m 20sec in. The TV producers masked the actual finger while emphasizing what he is doing, so it is 100% clear that he is literally giving the finger to Modernism. I kid you not. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 16:14, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

• ... that the first post-modern building was at first designed like it was 'giving the finger'? Source: Thus the house is a direct break from Modern architecture, designed in order to disrupt and contradict formal Modernist aesthetics.[14] More simply, Venturi demonstrated his intentions by figuratively giving the finger to the Modernist establishment.

Overall: @TheNk22:, I ran into serious problems when I started reviewing the page. The main one is that the article was not expanded by 5X or created in the ten days before nomination. It is great that you nominated a page you were not involved in, but you should review the WP:DYKRULES before your next nomination. Edit: Further review, the arrow of causality runs the other way. I kept digging and found the webpage is newer than the sections of Wiki text and so they're copying us. However, the nomination still fails due to insurmountable problems with newness. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 23:37, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
