Old Florida Museum

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Local museum with no evidence of notability, but prod removed on the absurd notion that "museums are notable", again without evidence. Created by the blocked sock of a disruptive user, but it's been edited too much to qualify for G5. Nyttend (talk) 17:26, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment (dupplicated at 4 AFDs). This is one of four AFDs with commonality that they were created by one editor no longer active, were prodded by the deletion nominator, had prod removed by me, and have similarity in nomination statements (e.g. reference in one to "prod removed on the absurd notion that 'museums are notable', again without evidence", is referring to others in series).  These are:
 * Articles for deletion/Mount Dora Museum of Speed
 * Articles for deletion/Coral Springs Museum of Art
 * Articles for deletion/Old Florida Museum
 * Articles for deletion/North Parish Church
 * Requirements for wp:MULTIAFD may or may not be met. It is NOT wp:CANVASSING to note the commonality (neutral, not to talk pages, not selective, transparent).  For efficiency, editors are invited to consider all four. -- do  ncr  am  19:19, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. Numerous sources available, including:  "HISTORICAL SOCIETY OPENS NEW MUSEUM" by KARLA SCHUSTER. Sun Sentinel [Fort Lauderdale] 03 Oct 1999: page 3B.  Article explains that museum was opened by Fort Lauderdale Historical Society after spending "$500,000 and five years restoring the former New River Inn, built in 1905 in the shadow of the river and the FEC railroad tracks."  530 word article describing the museum that i find, with others, in a national newspapers database behind paywall.
 * It's a "living museum" with a "Fort Menendez at Old Florida Museum" attraction. Try also:

 * Keep per the sources indicated by doncram. The article has been changed enough from the created version of the disrupting banned editor. --Oakshade (talk) 01:17, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep museums are notable because they usually receive enough coverage to pass WP:ORG. That's true in this case with the sources noted above and a few others I found and will add. StarM 00:04, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
