Musée Moissan

Although this has an article in 2 other languages, I couldn't verify that this meetsWP:NOTABILITY. Possibly worth a merge to either Henri Moissan or Université René Descartes, I don't know which would be best. Boleyn (talk) 19:08, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

Keep - Greetings! Well, it is definitely a small article, but I do believe it meets the notability criteria. Here is the relevant text from WP:NOTABILITY:


 * "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it need not be the main topic of the source material.
 * "Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability.
 * "Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability. There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected. Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability.
 * "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent.
 * "Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article—perhaps because it violates what Wikipedia is not, particularly the rule that Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.

I'm not finding too much on the web, but here are two pages devoted to this museum:


 * Historique du Musée Moissan
 * ParisInfo - Official Website of the Convention and Visitors Bureau

The first of these appears to be an article published in scholarly journal: "Historique du Musée Moissan", Jean Flahaut, Revue d'histoire de la pharmacie, 2007, Volume 94, Issue 356. pp. 537-539. The other appears to be an official website of the City of Paris.

It seems to me that both these references meet all the criteria cited above for notability.

I'll add both references to the museum article, and hopefully someone will add more text to the article.
