Portals Removal Appeal

[DTrain2002]

Hello and welcome,

2, 3, and 4 all appear to be vandalism, not actual art per the clarification:

Murals and Street Art
Murals are great works of art and therefore eligible along with street art. Each mural should be a single Wayspot unless it has sections that tell a distinct enough story or are physically separate. Works that are considered vandalism would not qualify.

Vandalism

The street art pictured above may have initially been a good example, but due to the overwhelming number of names and different styles added to this piece, there is evidence to suggest it is not an intentional work of art and is therefore not eligible.

Those 3 all appear to have been done without the consent of the property owner, and 2 and 4 have several tags nearby as well. 3 is quite worn by the elements, another aspect that shows it’s not permanent and possible vandalism.

1 appears to have been done by a former business that was there at one time, a tattoo shop, which can be seen on Street View in August 2018. It appears that after the tattoo shop left and the barbershop opened in its place, the mural was kept by the barbershop.
