fails WP:ORG. Nothing in gnews. Only a travel guide provided as a source. No corresponding Spanish article. LibStar (talk) 16:58, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It's a public attraction. Museums, except the most obscure private ones not regularly open, art going to be Wikipedia-notable. There may be a string of odd AFDs going on. At another museum afd recently, the nominator there (whether same editor or not) bizarrely also claimed google news is the right way to tell if a museum is notable, which is nonsense. Actually we should hope museums are not in the news for a fire or scandal; most are not. Wp:BEFORE has not been performed here. --doncram 18:50, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Museums are not inherently notable. Again you provide zero reasoning not sources to establish notability. You're saying WP:ITSNOTABLE. LibStar (talk) 23:04, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Right, it was Libstar who nominated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Malaysia Youth Museum, which closed no consensus to delete, who bizarrely searched only in Google News. wp:BEFORE. wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP. Also you don't have to reply to every comment that does not agree with you. --doncram 23:56, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
we are here to discuss how this museum meets notability guidelines, not the notability of other articles. You have failed to do this. You have not deterred me in fact given me more motivation to find non notable examples. LibStar (talk) 00:45, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I searched under multiple terms and the best I can find is this book source which is not enough to show notability. SL93 (talk) 19:53, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I have found and added multiple sources to the article, along with the book that SL93 uncovered. The combined weight of these sources demonstrates significant coverage, and therefore notability. Please keep in mind that sources for museum articles may not be visible in an initial search, especially if the institution is in a foreign country. Half of the sources I found were in Spanish. There's an even greater need for extensive searching in foreign AfDs because of the language barrier, and because Google just doesn't index results from non-Anglophone countries that well.

  • Keep following Altamel's edits. Google news isn't always be all/end all, especially when there are language issues to consider. StarM 02:08, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
