Requesting: Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Museums and Galleries
The Museums WikiProject has gotten off the ground and I'd like to request a page for museums and galleries that may come up for deletion. I don't know that there are many, but there have been a couple recently. Thanks! TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 20:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you provide a list of some of the recent ones ? John Vandenberg (chat) 01:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't work out how to make the search in chronological order but here are some that have happened.

2008:
 * Articles for deletion/International Museum of Women - current open discussion


 * Articles for deletion/Christian Music Hall of Fame and Museum
 * Articles for deletion/Delhi Tobacco Museum and Heritage Centre
 * Articles for deletion/Children's Museum of the Arts
 * Articles for deletion/Eva Brook Donly Museum

Depends on your definition of recent but these aren't too old and some are significant museums:
 * Articles for deletion/Unicorn museum
 * Articles for deletion/Living Torah Museum
 * Articles for deletion/Plains Art Museum
 * Articles for deletion/Law museum
 * Articles for deletion/Beer Can Museum
 * Articles for deletion/Three Valley Museum
 * Articles for deletion/Toy museum

There are more '08 ones, some were speedied and/or PRODed. Do you need more? TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 01:37, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. A list to include these seems warranted, under places of interest perhaps.  Ideally we want a list to deal with more than just museums.  Libraries, galleries and historical societies are closely related. A similar search for "library" AFDs in 2008 turns up:
 * Articles for deletion/Indian Valley Public Library
 * Articles for deletion/Midstate Regional Library
 * Articles for deletion/Norfolk County Public Library
 * Articles for deletion/Rancho Cucamonga Public Library
 * Articles for deletion/Freshwater library
 * Articles for deletion/Apple Pugetsound Program Library Exchange
 * Articles for deletion/Pierce College Library (LACCD)
 * I only found one 2008 "gallery" AFD
 * Articles for deletion/Bitforms gallery
 * A search for 2008 "hall" AFD has a few more, but they are mostly dorms; there are a few "hall of fame"
 * Articles for deletion/Plastic Hall of Fame
 * Articles for deletion/Dynamo-hall of fame
 * Articles for deletion/Isshin-ryū Hall of Fame
 * Articles for deletion/Accounting Hall of Fame
 * Most of those are resulting in deletion. IMO, there is a need for a new list; all we need is a concise list name that encompasses the majority of these topics. John Vandenberg (chat) 03:19, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Museums, galleries and historical societies are definitely within the scope of WP:MUSEUMS which was what I was thinking of when I requested a list. What about 'Cultural Organizations'? This is a term often used to refer to museums/cultural centers/performing arts (ie. Dance Companies)... Could encompass libraries as well -- I wouldn't have an issue transcluding the page onto the project with libraries included, although I'll own up to !voting delete for a number of libraries that appeared to fail WP:ORG for local orgs TRAVELLINGCARI My storyTell me yours 03:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd support this, especially if it were to include libraries; I've seen a reasonable number of museum/library articles go through over the past year without strong participation. "Cultural organisations" seems a bit vague, though. Espresso Addict (talk) 17:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Would WikiProject Deletion sorting/Museums and libraries be an acceptable title? If so I'll go ahead and create, since there seems to be a desire for it. the wub "?!"  17:36, 29 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. Sorry about the delay, I get distracted too easily. the wub "?!"  22:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
