The result was delete. I'll give credit to for some original thinking. I can't see how this idea meets any of our current policies or guidelines. All other arguments point to delete. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 19:49, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

This organization, while it might be doing great work, does not meet the notability requirement for organizations. Mpen320 (talk) 03:38, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep, tentatively. It's probably or perhaps a good idea for museums in an area to cooperate;  i know of areas where the museums do not, they are clear instead that they are competing for tourists' attention and they do NOT want to share their ticket revenues with others.  It would help if this could be expanded to report, marketing-wise or other-wise, on how the cooperation is working or not.  This should include a list of all 60 or so participating museums, hopefully in a table.  Some may already have Wikipedia articles.  For the others, they can be covered as a row in this list-article.  The name of such a museum can be a link to its location in the list-article, using an anchor if the location is in free text and using an "id=" field if the location is a row in a table.  This will help Wikipedia avoid having numerous separate articles about minor museums.  If you are a "deletionist" and wake up every morning hoping to delete and destroy stuff in Wikipedia, then you should !vote "Keep" here, to assist in preventing new articles or to assist in redirecting (effectively deleting, if you want to tally it that way in your scoring) existing articles. --Doncram (talk) 06:48, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

 * delete I don't see significant independent coverage to meet the GNG. Links and mentions by member museums and local governments don't show notability.Sandals1 (talk) 16:49, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete, or userfy. I'm not seeing any useful sources to support WP:NORG.  I do sympathize with Doncram's feelings that this is a worthy organization, and that there's the potential for an interesting encyclopedia article along the lines he outlines.  If he wants to work on that, I fully support moving this to his user space to support that effort.  -- RoySmith (talk) 18:40, 10 September 2019 (UTC)
