Tribal Museum

 * – ( View AfD View log )

fails WP:ORG. gets very limited coverage in gnews. . gbooks has more hits but it's mainly listings in travel books rather than indepth coverage about the museum itself. LibStar (talk) 07:02, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep - This is a regional museum in a rapidly developing country, documenting the threatened hill tribes such as the Akha, Hmong, Karen, and Lisu of Northern Thailand. It is reviewed and listed exactly as it should be for a reputable museum worthy of note WP:GNG and WP:ORG - most obviously, on travel pages, guide books and travel websites, "reliable sources unrelated to the subject" as WP:ORGIN says. Here are some (it's hard to think of a more solid and reliable travel source than the Rough Guides): (updated Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:05, 31 October 2011 (UTC))
 * Bangkok Post: Travel
 * Thailand's World "A visit to the Tribal Museum is strongly recommended as an introduction to the cultures and practices of the current hill tribes of northern Thailand. This museum serves as an extensive resource centre for the tribal cultures, and the visitor will certainly leave with a better understanding of each hill tribe. It is unique and compact, and together with the nearby National Museum of Chiang Mai, can be viewed in half a day."
 * The New York Times - Travel "Formerly part of Chiang Mai University's Tribal Research Institute, this small exhibit showcases the cultures and daily lives of the hill-tribe people of Thailand's north. It is recommended as a good introductory course for those who plan to visit many northern villages."
 * Rough Guides.com "The Tribal Museum enjoys a superb location behind the artfully landscaped Ratchamangkla Park. Overlooking a tree-lined lake, the very pretty and peaceful setting makes a visit worthwhile, as does the opportunity to learn something about the various hill tribes before heading off on a trek."

 * I have now added some references, quotations and images to the article itself. Seems a worthy Keep to me. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:37, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
