Look, I suppose any museum could be notable, but the presentation in this unreferenced article fails to convince me. Lacking third-party mentions of significance, it fails the criteria for inclusion. Chutznik (talk) 03:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete If this isn't a hoax, we really need an article on that dog with a PhD. A search for Zenin Esch does not inspire confidence that he's a "famous businesses executive". --Chris Johnson (talk) 04:07, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete 99.99% sure it's a hoax.--fetchcomms 04:13, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't find any evidence that this museum or Zenin Esch exists. I even tried the online telephone directories at http://www.yellowpages.ca/ and http://www.canada411.ca, and they didn't have anything, and two Toronto newspapers didn't either. I have to conclude, then, that this is a hoax. -- Eastmain (talk) 04:24, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the misunderstanding. The museum mentioned does exist, but it is located on a residential property and is not well known. Secondly, the museum is mostly pseudo-history, and is not intended to mislead anybody. When visiting the museum in person it is well known that any information presented is either exaggerated or based on fictitious events. I now realize that this fact should be noted in the Wikipedia article as not to mislead anybody. I will edit the article to explain this asap, and I welcome any other Wikipedia users to state this on the article if I do not complete this task in the expected time.

Thank you for your time, and I wish to again stress that this is a real operational museum(although clearly and purposely presenting humerus, fictitious information along with some real facts and history), and important cultural establishment for the grange community.

 * Delete. Assuming a non-hoax, there seems to be nothing on the Internet about it, and for a museum, that is an indication of an extraordinary level of non-notability.  The counter-argument presented by User:Duke red bird relies on WP:OR. TJRC (talk) 18:19, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
