Museum of Transgender Hirstory and Art

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails GNG and ORG. Did a quick check on google, the only clear external coverage I saw was a tangential blurb in Buzzfeed. The rest was PR-type stuff. Maybe I missed something, if I did, please add it and I will withdraw. I don't think the threshold can be reached, though. South Nashua (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment when looking for sources, please note that the name of the museum uses the word "Hirstory", not "History". If you let google autocorrect that spelling, you'll find nothing. If you look for the correct name, you will. Not a case of WP:BEFORE, I hope. Mduvekot (talk) 23:23, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Nope, here's the search with the correct spelling . Mostly self-promotional stuff. South Nashua (talk) 03:21, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Move/Merge into an article about about Chris E. Vargas, the artist behind MOTHA. It seems more appropriate both because Vargas has clearer notability through reviews and screened in notable places (MIX NYC, SF Camerawork, and the Tate Modern); and because MOTHA isn't a traditional museum, but rather functions more as an artist project mining museums and exhibiting in other art spaces.Theredproject (talk) 22:30, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment After looking for sources and finding some, possibly even enough to base an article on, I agree with that a merge with Chris E. Vargas would be more appropriate. The museum is to some degree a curatorial project by Vargas and can be a subsection of an article on him. There is only little procedural problem; that article doesn't exist yet, so this AfD can't be closed until it does.Mduvekot (talk) 22:46, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Here is a Draft:Chris E. Vargas place to start. Just boilerplate right now. Theredproject (talk) 22:56, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep (or if consensus) Merge There is enough coverage to pass GNG. The Stranger describes how the museum was created and there are plenty of references to the work the museum is doing, how the creator, Vargas, decided to put it together and so on. Together, these all show GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:55, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I wrote what I think is a pretty solid article for Vargas. Just submitted via Draft: Draft:Chris_E._Vargas. Theredproject (talk) 19:45, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Article is now live: Chris E. Vargas. Can we merge the MOTHA article into the Vargas one?, , is there consensus around that?Theredproject (talk) 23:54, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge. I currently don't see MOTHA existing independently of Vargas. Mduvekot (talk) 13:27, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
