This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Museums and libraries. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Museums and libraries|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Museums and libraries. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Recently prodded/deprodded stub article about a short-lived gallery in NYC. In a BEFORE search I was able to find some info about a few of the artists who exhibited at the gallery, but the only thing I could find on the gallery itself is the closure announcement on ArtInfo.[1] I think this is a press release and not actual reporting on the gallery itself as there is no by-line. I found nothing on the Wikipedia Library other than the review of Jamisen Ogg's show (which is about the artist's work not the gallery), and JSTOR turned up nothing. The single ArtInfo piece on the closure is not enough to meet WP:NCORP nor WP:GNG. Bringing it here for the community to decide. Netherzone (talk) 16:16, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Arts, Visual arts, Museums and libraries, Business, and New York. Netherzone (talk) 16:16, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: I was the one to prod it. I found a similar lack of information about the gallery as Netherzone. Moritoriko (talk) 14:29, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - notability is not inherent because they were in NYC or had one notable artist; see WP:NOTINHERITED. If they represented multiple notable artists, then that would be different. Bearian (talk) 22:59, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
