 * Redirect to Bethel Woods. The museum is an integral part of the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, as can be seen from the website . Bethel Woods is an unnecessarily brief article because of the omission of details on the museum, and it really makes no sense whatsoever to carve out the museum from the article on Bethel Woods. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 16:01, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * If the content is vital to the Bethel Woods article and it isn't present, why not be bold and merge the two articles? Kate (talk) 17:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I proposed to do just that on the talk page for the museum article. We were reaching a consensus and then someone objected. So I thought I'd get permission here to do it. --JohnnyB256 (talk) 22:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Undecided thanks for User_talk:Star_Mississippi! As I said at the talk page discussion, I can see both sides of this discussion. I can see JohnnyB's point advocating the merge, but I can also see the undue concerns about having the museum overwhelm the performing arts center. It is possible to have separate articles-see Carnegie Hall and Rose Museum and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts-where one building is the New York State Theater-one of whose tenant is New York City Ballet. An extreme example, but one I know well. Also Sailors Snug Harbor and Staten Island Children's Museum, although another part of the center, the Noble Maritime Center does not have its own article. I'm honestly not sure what the best course of action is here and am happy with whatever decision is made so long as this content is somewhere-don't care if it's here or in the PAC.

 * I see your point. But I think that for Bethel Woods, given its limited size, as evidenced by the limited size of the article, we had best keep them in one place. I would feel differently if it was a bigger institution and had more going for it (other than a stage and a snack bar!) --JohnnyB256 (talk) 16:39, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect. One article should easily suffice to cover all portions of this.   Keeper  |  76  02:09, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
