A7 declined on the grounds that it is a museum. While normally I would agree, this one is more like an activity center for preschoolers with no assertion of notability. Delete.  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 12:14, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. A Google News search turns up plenty of coverage, including a profile in the New York Times: . The article needs to be rewritten and expanded. Pastor Theo (talk) 15:06, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * KeepThe nominator did not comply with WP:BEFORE and the instructions for AFD, in that there are easily found reliable sources with substantial coverage, satisfying notability. Google news archive search shows many sources which satisfy notability and can be used to improve the article. See [THE VIEW FROM: NIANTIC; Ch"THE VIEW FROM: NIANTIC; Children's Museum Born of Teamwork." See The New York Times, Oct. 9, 1994 "Where Children Are Supposed to Be Heard, Not Simply Seen." See  the New York Times Dec. 30, 2001 "The View From/East Lyme; The Tale of a Children's Museum Without a Lease."  These are all substantial articles about the museum, and not mere directory listings or news items about some event. Many more articles show up in the Google news search,some with subscription required. Edison (talk) 15:14, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
