National Toy Train Museum

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Notability not established in accordance with WP:ORG or WP:GNG. A search for reliable, independent sources came up with nothing outside of promotional content for the organization. Cindy ( talk to me ) 08:09, 25 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Aside from this AP article, there's little more than passing mentions in "things to do in Pennsylvania" type pieces. DoctorKubla (talk) 10:28, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, per WP:NONPROFIT International collaboration with Swiss museums, houses national resource library for model railroaders; longevity (37 years). Has an archival function, not simply a tourist attraction. The train museums in Strasburg appear to be independent; I'm not sure it makes sense to fold this into Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.

 * Keep. Several good references have been added, since this (good-faith) nomination. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:15, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. This isn't exactly a train set in some guy's basement we're talking about here. -User:DanTD (talk) 20:47, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. Sources now in the article and many more available at GNews, HighBeam, etc., establish that this is a notable tourist attraction. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:39, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
