Museo Albacete

Are individual museums notable? Other than the Louvre and similarly famous institutes? This one has items from Roman excavations, but then again so do nearly all history museums. What is consensual here? Radiant! 15:30, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Generally, I think that most museums are probably notable unless strong evidence to the contrary can be presented. I don't currently have any criteria in mind, but given time and exempla I could probably develop a reasonably credible filter for exclusion. In the case of museums, note that I would tend towards nearly complete inclusiveness. HyperZonk^talk 17:49, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
• The museum may very well be notable, but the current substub is worse than having a red link. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 18:17, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I'd say Merge into the appropriate city page, but I can't find Alba city Spain. — RJH 18:20, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • It's at Albacete. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 18:30, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with the city page. I might not object to a proper article on a third-tier museum, but this isn't a proper article. -- Infrogmation 18:35, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • As it has now been expanded into an article, I change my vote to Keep. -- Infrogmation 19:13, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I've expanded the article quite a bit (it was a single-sentence substub), adding info about the museum's location, history, and contents. (More content is welcome; much of the web info on this museum is in Spanish and I don't trust myself to translate.) Museums are often Wikiworthy, though I agree that there was no way to tell this from the original article. Incidentally, after the dust settles from VfD it might make sense to rename the article to Museo Provincial de Albacete or Albacete Provincial Museum. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 19:07, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Individual museums are far more notable and far more verifiable than Pokemon supporting characters or Ashlee Simpson. I don't know enough about this museum to judge its notability either among residents of the region or among people interested in a particular field. No vote. Barno 19:22, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all museums. Grue 20:12, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • So, you wouldn't object if I wrote an article on the Spam Museum? :o) (Keep this article.) Android79 21:03, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)
    • I wouldn't mind an article on the SPAM museum. It looks like it gets a significant amount of tourists. Keep this, and all museums. DaveTheRed 23:14, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I've got no comment on this particular case, but wanted to disagree with the notion of "keep all museums". This would lead to museums having a much lower bar than almost any other institution, and would lead to the inclusion of some genuinely un-notable things. The Western Springs, Illinois (Chicago suburb--about 10,000 people) Historical Society has a museum--has it's own building and everything--but is clearly non-notable. There needs to be some bar for museums, as there is for other institutions. Meelar (talk) 00:06, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all museums with their own buildings (suggested bar) Kappa 00:53, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - David Gerard 02:05, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all museums? No. Keep this one? Yes. -- Cyrius|✎ 03:32, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems to be a notable, well established museum. — Gwalla | Talk 03:41, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Well-done Ten of Alltrades. Capitalistroadster 11:59, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep . Wincoote 02:26, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep all museums. This nomination doesn't comply with Wikipedia's deletion policies. --Gene_poole 02:25, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, now a decent article, and certainly potential here for more. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:21, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
