Article is sourced only by the museum's own website. Has been tagged for needing better sources for a year. My own searching failed to find anything beyond social media and directory entries in travel guides and the like. -- RoySmith (talk) 11:38, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn. I don't agree with many of the arguments here, but it's clear this is going to be kept, so no need to consume additional editor time debating it.  -- RoySmith (talk) 12:09, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I am not seeing much of anything in the way of sourcing, but there may be something in non-English languages. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 21:29, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Possibly redirect if there's any incoming traffic that warrants it? Mariam Aslamazian is notable. The gallery is mentioned, so no need to merge.      StarM 22:31, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. Redirect to Mariam Aslamazian.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment, the article states: "This building has been protected by the Government since 1980 as a historical and cultural heritage site." (unfortunatel unsourced), but if the case would it then meet WP:NBUILD ie. national heritage? Coolabahapple (talk) 23:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. wp:ITSAMUSEUM.  And it has strong assertion of notability, roughly that it is the only Armenian museum celebrating women artists (not sure if I am overstating that).  What, would you men like to delete, say, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in the U.S.?  Take a look at its article, not so great, and just about some woman whose paintings of flowers were highly misinterpreted or whatever. --Doncram (talk) 01:25, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Just to state the obvious, Georgia O'Keefe is famous and these artists are not. Of course, notability is not inherited.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 14:06, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: WP:ITSAMUSEUM is an essay written by . -- RoySmith (talk) 15:29, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep presumption of notability. Likely sources not online (via internet) and in Armenian and Russian.07:43, 6 May 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djflem (talk • contribs)
 * Keep. Would appear to be notable enough for an article. Gallery exhibiting the works of a major artist. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:06, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep passes GNG barely. Is mentioned in RS. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 13:54, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Is mentioned in WP:RS is not a reason to keep. Has WP:SIGCOV in WP:RS is.  Can you provide some examples of the later?  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:27, 11 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - It's hard to imagine a gallery of this scope and dedicated to such fundamentally important artists isn't notable and simply being challenging to find online English language sources shouldn't mean we jump to the conclusion that it's not notable. I did find coverage in Armenpress, Armenian Heritage (the Armenian equivalent to English Heritage), the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure and Yerkir Media. Oakshade (talk) 04:35, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I think calling them "fundamentally important artists" is really a stretch. We only have an article on one of the sisters; if they were fundamentally important, we'd have articles on both sisters. (Come to think of it, why is Mariam's name spelled differently in the article Mariam Arshaki Aslamazian?)ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * In Armenia they are. As for the OT question, it's common for Latin alphabet spellings to non-Latin script proper nouns to have varying spellings. The last name of Muammar Gaddafi was famously spelled "Qaddafi", "Kadafi," and "Gadafy" by different outlets of the western press during the same periods. Oakshade (talk) 05:35, 12 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep - As per sources found above. In addition to the museum itself being a notable cultural institution, both sisters are notable as they each have multiple works in museum collections globally, therefore it does not seem to make sense to redirect to the Mariam Aslamazian article.

 * Keep Deserves to stand as an article, passes WP:GNG. Sources may not be in English. Nika2020 (talk) 18:33, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
