Talk:List of museums in the West Midlands

Wolverhampton Museum of Industry
We don't have an article for Wolverhampton Museum of Industry, but a search for mentions of it in wikipedia articles suggests we probably should. I'll make an entry here at least soon (it's bedtime now), unless there's a reason I shouldn't. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 22:25, 19 April 2016 (UTC)


 * It appears to have existed only as a website (see archive), since moved to http://www.historywebsite.co.uk/Museum/ Many of the links in our EL sections appear spammy, and should in any case be removed. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:27, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Why are you stripping all of the links to http://www.localhistory.scit.wlv.ac.uk/Museum/Transport/planes/SunbeamEngines11.htm et al? e.g.
 * In particular, you are describing these as "rm dead, spammy link which was also unreliable source" Why is it unreliable?  Why is it both dead and spammy?!
 * You're also stripping sources from a biography, then tagging it as "unsourced BLP". Which would make just a little more sense if he hadn't been dead 90 years.
 * These need scanning an archive to recover them, not deletion, certainly not bulk, unstudied deletion (two dozen at one-a-minute) for bogus reasons. Andy Dingley (talk) 13:13, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * You ask me why I'm removing the links, then quote the edit summary where I gave my reasons. If you wish to assert that the site is reliable, please say how so. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:34, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * This is a local history project, produced under the imprimatur of a local university. Why would that be "spam"? Andy Dingley (talk) 16:09, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
 * For some value of "imprimatur"; the university merely provided free hosting; since withdrawn. Your latter question is a straw man. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:34, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
