Antique Boat Museum

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The museums only claim of notability is that it has "The largest collection of antique and classic boats in America", a claim that seemingly came from their own website and a COI account who edited the article 6 years ago. I couldn't find anything about this aside from it's own website, with the only real coverage being passing mentions and a paragraph long story about management switching hands. 💵Money💵emoji💵 💸 16:28, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. It has a substantial write-up in this book and short, but more than trivial coverage, in these . SpinningSpark 17:47, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. The ABM is not only the most prominent North American museum for Classic Boats, it is also from a European perspective probably the largest museum of its kind. In Europe, the Italian, Swedish, Dutch, English and German classic boat community often refers to the ABM's collection within its various chapters. Finally, some parts of its collection are simply unique, e.g. the Gar Wood Collection here Instead of deletion it should be wise to expand on its subject and uniqueness and add enough viable sources as Spinningspark already highlights. I'd be happy to add on this subject once time allows over the next couple of months. comment added by Printy4927 (talk • contribs) 12:20, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep, per Doncram. I have also tried to rewrite the article in a way that's not a copyvio, but still leave some of the important information about it. -User:DanTD (talk) 04:42, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
