The result was delete. After five years in existence and a full cumulative month at AfD, the article has not been meaningfully expanded or improved, nor have any appropriate sources been identified or added. The Sin Chew story identified here only devotes one short paragraph to the subject: two sentences describing the structure (not the gallery, mind), and one lamenting the limited hours of operation. Lest this bare-bones page sit stagnant for years more with no attempts being made to establish notability, I feel deletion is the only appropriate result. – Juliancolton | Talk 23:24, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Useful Malaysian tourist attraction to include in Wikipedia, and I'd hate to see this go. Online searches also indicate this gallery should be notable. Ambrosiawater (talk) 18:10, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - I believe it is mentioned in this sourceThe adaptation of creativity in museum sector: A case study of Malacca Maritime Museum, Malaysia, and anyone else searching for sources should try the alternative spelling, but the mention in the source is in passing as are other mentions. Found it mentioned in some books too, such as Lonely Planet, but existence is not notability, and none of the sources show why this is notable. -- Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 14:52, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
