This was deleted in an AfD which was brought to deletion review. The result of that review was to re-list the article for a new AfD. My listing here is an administrative action; I offer no opinion on the outcome of this discussion. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:15, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment At the moment, this article is an utterly pointless sub-stub whose text merely repeats the article's name. Possibly this is because this is a tiny local museum which is not particularly notable. The evidence seems to suggest this. Even searching under its Greek name Λαογραφικό Μουσείο Βελβεντού or in English for Velvendo or Velvendos (alternative anglicizations of Velventos) yields little of any value. It's mentioned nowhere in the Greek Wikipedia. There's a brief article about its opening in 2006 in Kathimerini here and it also gets a brief mention in the journal Museum Practice here, where it's in a list of museums using a particular kind of lighting, and... er.. that's pretty much it. Of the external links currently in the article, the two with the most coverage are this, which is actually from the company that designed the lighting and this, from the town's tourist board.

 * Keep Merge to Velventos. I've cleaned the article up, made it marginally more informative, and expanded it to the extent it can be expanded, i.e. three sentences. Its highly marginal notability and the lack of any significant material about it in either Greek or English makes it unsuitable for a stand-alone article in my view. The article title can be kept as a redirect if by some miracle this tiny museum ever achieves sufficient coverage for a stand-alone article. Voceditenore (talk) 14:20, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Changed to "Keep" after Aymatth2's work. Voceditenore (talk) 14:43, 24 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep. I added content. Several independent sources cover the subject in some depth, easily enough to establish notability. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:44, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
