 Speedy Deletion of ""Girl Power (Video)""  

Hello, 

I recently established a page for Sadie Benning's video ""Girl Power"". I've been notified that the page was challenged for its presumed insignificance (not enough ""notability""). Considering the fact that feminist artists have been excluded from the mainstream art establishment and essentially omitted from history, I understand why one might thing a page dedicated to one of Sadie Benning's video MIGHT NOT have ""enough notability"". However, I would easily respond by mentioning that ALL of Sadie Benning's video, ESPECIALLY her video ""Girl Power"", played a pivotal role in the formation of Girl Power as a concept, radical feminist politics, and the Riot grrrl's commitment to the child icon. This video has been discussed amongst scholars and academics who focus on everything from art history to gender studies and from new media studies to sociology. If Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedic database that indexes ""notable"" historical and current events, then it would only make sense to include a page on this highly influential work that has greatly contributed to the emergence of feminist 90s politics and art. Any attempts to delete this page will be excluding important information about a widely-acclaimed video that has ONLY been excluded from historical documentation databases because of the artist's sex."
