fails WP:GNG. nothing in gnews including for alternate name. gets 1 hit for travel book listing in gbooks for its name and alternate name. and 1 small mention in gscholar for alternate name. complete lack of significant coverage. those wanting to keep must demonstrate existence of coverage. this is not a clean up, this is a clear discussion of the notability of this museum.

Delete: After multiple searches, I found no significant coverage. I do think you should be notifying page creators when you nominate stuff for deletion which I don't think you ever do. SL93 (talk) 06:18, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I've notified User:Dr. Blofeld, the creator of the article. – Joe (talk) 10:51, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As pseudo-national museum of Belize and per the great work done by Aymatth2. Ravendrop 20:40, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
comment I've tried to withdraw this afd but someone has reversed it. [1]. LibStar (talk) 10:11, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @LibStar: As I indicated in the edit summary, WP:WITHDRAWN clearly states that "if subsequent editors have added substantive comments in good faith, the discussion should not be closed simply because the nominator wishes to withdraw it". If you want to withdraw your nomination you should strike it out or leave a comment, not close the AfD. – Joe (talk) 11:10, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Public museums are generally going to be notable; weaker articles should be tagged but usually not AFD'd. An AFD will usually turn out to be forcing a clean up, but wp:AFDISNOTFORCLEANUP and it is not right to impose upon the community of AFD editors in this way, in my opinion. Also I noted the AFD nominator has failed to notify article creators in other AFDs. --do ncr am 15:17, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Museum of Belize. This is supposed to be the same museum, just a new location. Kaldari (talk) 22:38, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- I saw no reference in the sources to moving the Museum of Belize to Belmopan. If the national museum in Belmopan is ever built, the Museum of Belize in Belize City is unlikely to close. Belize City is where the tourists are. I see the new one as being based on the Institute of Archaeology collection. There is this source, which says the Belize City museum is inadequate and there is a need for a new National Museum in Belmopan, but I do not read that as saying the old Museum of Belize would be moved.
