Cheng Ho Cultural Museum

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:ORG. Another tiny museum that only gets references as a tourist attraction. If someone wants cite the book "Museums, History and Culture in Malaysia" they better check the book actually refers to this museum rather than recycling AfD arguments LibStar (talk) 15:42, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep The book mentioned in the nomination covers the topic on page 88, for example. Andrew D. (talk) 13:06, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * all it gets is a tiny one line mention. You'll have to demonstrate a lot more coverage than that. LibStar (talk) 13:15, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * I really wonder if you think people are naive to think a one line statement in a book makes this entity notable. But that's what happens when you go on a keep at all costs spree. LibStar (talk) 13:23, 6 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Well, here's a lot more than a one-line mention: New York Times article on the museum and Cheng Ho, also this Los Angeles Times article. I can agree that one line is usually not enough for notability, but when the standard starts getting raised beyond one paragraph, two paragraphs, and so on&mdash;in my opinion that's going too far.

 * Also found this article from JSTOR about the political dispute underlying the museum's opening (pp. 202-203). Altamel (talk) 20:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
 * thanks Atamel for making a genuine effort to find sources. LibStar (talk) 22:57, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
