Notable?

[edit]

I've just finished cleaning out promotional material from the article. Wikipedia articles are meant to be encyclopedic treatments of subjects: objective and based on independent reliable sources.

At present, the article is a brief "this thing exists" article, based entirely on the museum's own website (and, it seems, personal reporting). For the article to survive, it will need to be completely overhauled and based on coverage about the museum in independent reliable sources.

Sources written by or traceable to anyone connected to the museum are not independent. "Reliable sources" are primarily those published by sources with a record for fact-checking and accuracy.

If there is not coverage in independent reliable sources from outside of the area sufficient to write a reasonably detailed article on the museum, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. - SummerPhDv2.0 13:51, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
