Essentially a minor duplicate of the article about the Higgins Armory Museum and its closing; more than half this aricle is about that rather than the building per se, which has a good bit of coverage in the museum article. At very least, merge them. Qwirkle (talk) 04:39, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is about the building, which since it's on the NRHP clearly qualifies per WP:GEOFEAT. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That’s an argument for inclusion, but not for a separate article. Qwirkle (talk) 14:43, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly. Merging would be acceptable. But if you want to merge them, why did you propose the article for deletion? That's not what AfD is for. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:06, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

One or the other should happen; it’s easier to work down than up. Qwirkle (talk) 02:24, 9 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

MERGE Since it is museum that has closed Delete the Higgins Armory Museum and merge into the Higgins Armory Building page.Myotus (talk) 21:36, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I’d disagree; the museum, too, “merged” into the Wormtown Ahht Museum, but it is still more or less a separate entity there, a distinct coherent collection, much like Bashford Dean’s stuff in New York. Qwirkle (talk) 22:17, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge into the article about the museum, which seems (slightly) more notable per a BEFORE, which makes me think that should be the name of the article with the building as the redirect. There's no doubt the building is notable per Necrothesp's points, but I don't think we need separate articles on both. Re: Myotus' comment on deleting the museum, I don't see the need. It was notable during its existence and (still looking into this for better sourcing), part of the museum's story is about the building so makes sense for them to be covered together.
