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)[reply]

Comment. This is one of four AFDs with commonality that they were created by one editor no longer active, were prodded by the deletion nominator, had prod removed by me, and have similarity in nomination statements (e.g. reference in one to "prod removed on the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:

Requirements for

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 19:16, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply

Redirect. (modified from Keep) Many sources available, including "Ready to move on Coral Springs Museum of Art leader plans to retire in July"

by Marcus, Jonathan.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel [Fort Lauderdale, Fla] 20 May 2012: p.1. That article is all about the museum and its longtime Executive Director. It mentions that "the nonprofit museum, which is affiliated with the city, has developed a niche in South Florida's art scene. The museum's first annual budget was approximately $121,000 while this year it is about $500,000." I get 377 hits on exact string "Coral Springs Museum of Art" in a national newspapers database behind paywall, many being reviews of new exhibits. --do ncr am 19:25, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply

Modifying to Redirect based on Jllm06's pointing out that there is coverage of the topic at another article. There shoulda been a redirect set up long ago; it was reasonable for the AFD topic article creator to have created a separate article on the notable museum, in absence of knowledge that it was covered elsewhere (that shoulda been embodied by a redirect previously). That happens; duplicative articles get set up and have to be merged later. The topic is a Keeper, though. --do ncr am 21:42, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. In this edit, editor User:Jllm06 redirected the AFD topic article to another article. I just reverted that, pending resolution of this AFD, per technical AFD policy described in the AFD notice at the article. Jllm06's edit is helpful in pointing out that, prior to the February 2014 creation of this article, there was pre-existing coverage of the museum topic at a different article. It seems reasonable for the AFD to be concluded with "Merge/redirect" or just "Redirect", as there was not substantially different content created at the AFD topic (newer) article. --do ncr am 21:42, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Keep. Active art museum showing work of contemporary artists. Bus stop (talk) 15:09, 15 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect – Coral Springs Center for the Arts already has a section with almost the same content. The museum should be handled as part of the center. – Margin1522 (talk) 07:35, 18 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
