There is no proof of the museum's notability, except for brief mentions in a newspaper article and on a website, and it fails WP:N Scorpion0422 03:13, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep Needs more citations, but I believe that all museums of a certain standard are notable. I couldn't find any specific guidelines on notability for museums, so I use my own judgement freely here. Poeloq (talk) 05:44, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Do not believe museums are inherently notable and no notability has been established in this case Corpx (talk) 07:40, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep This article could use some expanding and some more references, but otherwise, all museums of a certain standard are notable. GVnayR (talk) 16:03, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: The above may read as a sockpuppet of mine, it is not. I have never had and never will have any sockpuppets. Poeloq (talk) 20:05, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Response to Comment: I apologize if my statement was nearly identical to yours, Poeloq. I was just trying to agree with you. GVnayR (talk) 04:22, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Just because a museum exists, it doesn't make it notable. -- Scorpion0422 04:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete as not even asserting notability. Not all museums are notable, and this "article" is filled with props for smoking. Bearian (talk) 17:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Oh come on, where is it pro-smoking? Poeloq (talk) 18:01, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - Historical museums are of encyclopedic value, just as the history the present. --Oakshade (talk) 02:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I agree that there is some WP:SOAP there. The sentence "despite a province-wide smoking ban ..." fits the bill I think. My position is that it needs a cleanup, the article as presented is not okay, but the museum itself is notable enough to have an article, especially for the historic context. It is a member of the Ontario Museums Association, which is reputable. Alaney2k (talk) 21:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
