Unnotable local museum. Only a few local paper hits discussing anniversary. The building won a single in 1971 for its architecture. Failed CSD - declined for not being a person (non-admin) -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 02:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think that the references in the article are enough to demonstrate notability. --Eastmain (talk) 02:47, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep - while the article is stubby, I don't think it has a lack of notability --T-rex 02:56, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, as if I'd ever !vote anything else on a museum/gallery while this turns up a fair amount of event listings, there's enough from which to create an article. No doubt it needs to be improved but current state is not a reason for deletion. I see far more than local coverage so I'm assuming something happened with the nom's search. Goog'hiccup.

 * The bulk are event listings and local newspaper listings. As a note, its current stubby state is because the nom originally created as a copyvio of the museum site, which User:Eastmain fixed. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 03:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply I found some interstate. I'm going to work on the article when I have a bit more time and if it isn't during this AfD and it gets deleted I'll do it in userspace. I have no doubt this isn't the Met, but I think I can establish notability. I know you don't nom without looking, which was why I blamed a google hiccup. Either way, we'll see where this lands.

 * Keep Not only does it have basic notability (the fact that it is covered in reliable 3rd party sources), the building has won an award. §hep   •   ¡Talk to me!  03:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - Is the subject of secondary sources (there's no "local sources don't count" clause in WP:NOTABILITY), but the building is of architectural note as its design won a national award. --Oakshade (talk) 03:55, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per T-rex. LotLE × talk  04:17, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per existing source and potential for improvement. Townlake (talk) 05:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Note, I expanded it so that there isn't more tag than texts. I need to do more but am on limited time. This at least gives it some context. There are more sources (linked above) if someone has more time. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 13:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep It is actually rather well-known in the art world. I am genuinely surprised to see this here. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:19, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Looks pretty much notable and it do indeed have reliable sources. -- 'Kanonkas' : Talk  19:09, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
