Kite Museum (Melaka)

fails WP:ORG. Sources merely confirm existence. Gnews search comes up with Kite museums elsewhere. Previous AfD is Articles for deletion/Kite Museum LibStar (talk) 13:51, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. See previous AFD.  See wp:ITSAMUSEUM.  And look at the photo.  Sure, consider comment in previous AFD that perhaps 3 co-located museums could be covered in one article, but there is no way that any one of them should be outright deleted, so AFD deletion is inappropriate IMHO. --Doncram (talk) 17:50, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge with People's Museum. WP:ITSAMUSEUM is an essay only, and still makes the point that the museum must be notable to be kept. The People's Museum complex is notable, but this museum is not notable in its own right, although it is an important part of that one. Previous AfD had a single !vote that conceded this should be part of that article. -- Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 22:45, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Why not merge People's Museum into this one? The previous AFD's voter suggested a merger could/should be done of these two and the 3rd museum, without specifying how.  Seems to me a merger proposal at the Talk pages would make sense, if/when someone has an actual proposal.  But especially if an appropriate title / merger target is not obvious to you or me or the deletion nominator here, then "Keep" seems to be appropriate outcome here (though closure could recommend that a merger proposal could/should be made).  I don't think "People's Museum complex" is the right term to merge towards (not that you really are suggesting that). --Doncram (talk) 10:25, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge with People's Museum. THIS indicates that the Melaka Kite Museum is located on the 4th floor of the People's Museum building. Not seeing enough for a GNG pass. Carrite (talk) 11:15, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   20:00, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge as suggested; there is precious little in the article about the kite museum itself.TheLongTone (talk) 15:59, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep or else Merge to People's Museum per WP:ITSAMUSEUM. KartikeyaS  (talk) 07:18, 17 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: It looks to me like there are three separate museums housed in one building — the People's Museum, the Kite Museum and the Beauty Museum — so it doesn't make sense to merge one page into another for arbitrary reasons. I know that WP:ITSAMUSEUM is an essay, but essays are important, and if they get cited a lot (three times in this discussion so far), then that indicates that editors find the argument compelling. Also, it has a nice picture of the exhibition gallery. -- Toughpigs (talk) 03:50, 18 March 2020 (UTC)
