Talk:Karl May Museum

Abuse of WP as a platform for promotion
User:RHaworth. This page was created by, a SPA account that has done precisely one thing in WP - namely promote activist Mark Worth and further the real world causes of that person here in WP. This page exists in order to further his real world dispute with this museum. It is the result of unethical abuse of WP and is industrial waste, as disgusting as native advertising by Medtronic or some other company that uses WP rapaciously.

It is spam. Please self-revert your removal of the spam tag and instead delete this.

As I noted in the nomination, I added a bit about this at the only place in WP where the museum is discussed, at Karl_May. Jytdog (talk) 21:21, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Dog, an article that has been around this long deserves an AfD discussion. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:09, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Native American scalps at Karl May Museum → Karl May Museum – It seems to me that the scalps are a subtopic of the museum; this should be reconfigured as an article on the museum, a section on the scalps, and the current title redirecting to that section. bd2412 T 04:03, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Support - It will also make a possible future expansion easier if more sources can be found. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:25, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Support... in theory I don't see what's preventing people from creating the article on the museum, and afterwards merging this article into it. A move would not accomplish anything really, it seems more like a request for article creation.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 11:18, 11 May 2018 (UTC)


 * note - this doesn't seem at all contentious. I plan to do the move and expansion over the weekend. There are plenty of sources cited in the AfD and there are more that I didn't cite there, that are easy to find. Jytdog (talk) 17:36, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Support - topic is notable for more than just the scalps. I don't see the point in starting a new article from scratch and then merging. Just move it and keep the continuity of its edit history intact. Also, I suggest Jytdog that you wait for a formal close to this discussion before moving forward. Someone may present a compelling case which could change the outcome. WP:NORUSH. -- Netoholic @  18:29, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

There are plenty of sources about the museum itself.
 * * interesting discussion of how the museum, which is in territory that used to be East Germany, refactored its displays as part of Soviet-block efforts to rally indigenous peoples against the US -
 * * New Yorker piece with some good discussion.
 * * News of new director after a haiatus -
 * * Donation of some new artifacts -
 * book by Jace Weaver (there is someone we should have an article on) that discusses the history of the museum at several points:
