Not much out there detailing the museum and confirming notability. Meatsgains (talk) 18:48, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning keep - This building is a Grade 1 listed building (confirmation), and per WP:MAPOUTCOMES, buildings of such historical interest are usually considered notable. There is the question of whether Wesley's London house deserves an article of its own, or whether it should be merged into the article about Wesley's Chapel next door. Both are Grade 1 listed in their own right. Altamel (talk) 19:15, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:OUTCOMES. We usually keep "listed" buildings, especially ones that are open to the public and have real historical value, as this obviously does.John Wesley co-founded ~~ISIS~~ Methodism. Bearian (talk) 14:56, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (changed from "Keep") ~~Museums are notable. John Wesley is notable. Registered historic sites are notable.~~ Thanks, editor Qwfp, for finding other longstanding article, to which this obviously should be merged. It did not make sense that the topic was not already covered. This still should not have been AFD'd. Merging does not require AFD. The new article topic was obviously very important IMO. -do ncr am 02:28, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets WP:GEOFEAT as a grade 1 listed building as highlighted by Altamel above. Coolabahapple (talk) 16:17, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Why on earth are we AfDing an article that looks like this that was created less than a week ago? Where the talk page is still a red link? Also, per all the above. Jclemens (talk) 17:33, 13 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Wesley's Chapel, as that already briefly covers John Wesley's House and Museum of Methodism, which both currently redirect there. The House is next door to the Chapel and was built at the same time, and the Museum is in the crypt of the Chapel, so it seems unnatural division to have one article on the Chapel and one on the House+Museum.

Keep. Naturally a Grade I listed building is (separately) notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:44, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Grade I listed buildings are generally notable enough to sustain articles. This is no exception. Mjroots (talk) 18:31, 17 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
