Collections
The collections section is better in list format, moving back to that format. Per the ANI and clear warnings from administrators, I would caution Maybeparaphrased to step back and consider his/her actions. It makes little sense that the editor a) nominates the page for deletion then b) begins removing references, formatting and breaking good wikilinks addded in order to retain the page.

We disagree that it is a better format, Perhaps we should set up an RFC on the matter to get more opinions, Shall you or shall I? Maybeparaphrased (talk) 03:06, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Maybeparaphrased, I think you will be wasting everyone's time with an RfC on the list format. However, that seems to be your preference, so go ahead. Also please do not continue reverting as you are close to intentional edit warring. Also, while you are at it, you might withdraw the AFd you started, now that you're investing the time for an Rfc in the article! An Afd can amount to a big waste of time if the article is actually staying-- do you want it deleted or are you now wanting to keep it?. I truly do not understand your intentions. To me it would seem that given your actions your number one goal is to be as diruputive as possible to anything I do! Of course maybe I am missing something and you are actually trying to be helpful. Have a nice evening. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 04:34, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:PROSE talks about prose being preferred in articles. Coolabahapple (talk) 14:34, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The list format is appropriate here. Exhibitions are similar in nature to publications or a discography, where Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists of works applies.Mduvekot (talk) 15:08, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Coolabahapple, I see what you are saying about prose and appreciate your input. On the other hand, What Mduvekot says about lists might be in line with the children list exception. Personally, I'm for a list here, as you can quickly see all of the involved museums. Prose-wise a list of ten museums ends up being a difficult to read, and it's a boring piece of prose.

 * Thanks, i see what you mean:) Coolabahapple (talk) 18:35, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * OK, so we have three in favour and one against. Any other comments before we go back to list format?HappyValleyEditor (talk) 19:08, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I think that when you do a long list like that with wiki links and references it does not look very encyclopedic. The long list force the reader to scroll down. That makes the article difficult to read. A paper printed encyclopedia would not have a long single column list. Zpeopleheart (talk) 19:20, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
