Lacks notability. This is a vehicle for user:Harrygouvas to promote himself (like all his contributions to en.WP, and el.WP), and to publish his supposedly important "historical" and "scientific" research, that otherwise would have remained in the drawer (see this page; even the string "MUSEUMOFARTSANDSCIENCESOFEPIRUSΜΟΥΣΕΙΟΤΕΧΝΩΝΚΑΙΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΩΝΗΠΕΙΡΟΥ" of the url confirms how H.Gouvas is eager to be connected to an institution, since he lacks of a realy important affiliation as a scientist; -he is just practicing medicine). As I had already noted elsewhere, Harry Gouvas' so-called "Museum" is a no-museum, no-foundation, no-institution, it is not certified by the Greek Ministry of Cultrure, as the Greek law requires for (real) museums. It does not house important collections of any kind (Gouvas himself has admitted that he failed to gain for his "collection" an official status by the Greek authorities), but "exhibits" like this. In general, the exhibits are replicas and copies of originals of poor or doubius qualitity. There are no published catalogues of the "museum" collections, or any other similar publication, like books or pamphlets for general readers. References to the collections of the "museum" by reliable sources cannot be found; only those H.Gouvas uploads on the net, usually throught forums and local friendly media. There is nothing notable about this "museum". On the abovementioned grounds the article has been deleted from the Greek Wikipedia, as well. ——Chalk19 (talk) 20:05, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. A non-government recognized museum whose "most notable exhibits" includes a "Big Collection of Shells and Corals"? Fails GNG. Clarityfiend (talk)
Delete - Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Nothing notable here.Glendoremus (talk) 04:35, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
