fails WP:ORG. I found very little coverage for this. also given it's a converted bus shelter not sure how significant a museum it is. compared to other art museums we have in WP which tend to be well established buildings. LibStar (talk) 03:45, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It's a (small) art museum. It's a public attraction. It's a roadside attraction. It is covered in newspapers and other sources. I notice numerous separate individual artists' resumes/webpages mentioning their showing pieces in exhibits there, and there is news coverage in Peru and other countries such as [http://mobi.peruthisweek.com/news-peruvian-collage-artist-participates-in-norway-show-111153/ this article in "Peru this week". Based on its apparently small size alone, I sort of question how monumental an achievement it is to exhibit there, and I think it is a service for Wikipedia to show exactly what it is, as a reference to persons trying to evaluate the artists' work for any reason. --doncram 04:24, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - interesting but not notable. No significant reliable sources are provided to suggest notability. Sorry, but Wikipedia is not intended to be a "service" for persons evaluating an artist's work.--Rpclod (talk) 02:04, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Did a search in a database of 100+ Norwegian media outlets. The museum is mentioned in one - 1 - news piece, the one in tiny Opdalingen which is cited in the current article. The museum has not gained any media attention whatsoever. Geschichte (talk) 20:26, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Selective merge and redirect to Berkåk. --Hegvald (talk) 09:48, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
disagree with merge as it's such a minor museum with close to no media attention. LibStar (talk) 09:55, 19 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no evidence of notability beyond the limited sourcing in the article now. I can't even find an article on the Norwegian Wikipedia. [[1]] It's hard to argue that it's more notable over here than there. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 20:36, 21 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
