Proposed merge with Shanghai Art Museum edit
article on former museum could be could be merged into history section of current museum EdwardUK (talk) 12:43, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
Oppose. ---Another Believer (Talk) 13:50, 22 November 2016 (UTC)- Seems sensible the building may be new but most of the collection will be the same. Care to give a reason, User:Another Believer? Johnbod (talk) 20:05, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
- Well, actually, I don't know. I am confused about the best way for Wikipedia to cover the Shanghai Art Museum, Shanghai Race Club, the notable building that housed the Shanghai Race Club, and the China Art Museum. I crossed out my vote above and will let others decide. ---Another Believer (Talk) 22:44, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
- The best approach is probably to have an article dedicated to the heritage building itself, separate from the many institutions it has housed, including the Shanghai Race Club, Shanghai Library, Shanghai Art Museum, and now, the Shanghai History Museum. -Zanhe (talk) 15:33, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
Support merge: the website for the China Art Museum recognizes its continuity with the Shanghai art museum; for example, giving its foundation date as 1956. Having a separate page for the Shanghai Race Club, however, seems reasonable. So, then we have pages for the institutions rather the buildings, which is consistent.Klbrain (talk) 13:30, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose: the article Shanghai Art Museum is mostly about the building, not the exhibits. The building has been reopened as the Shanghai History Museum. -Zanhe (talk) 15:20, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
- OK; withdrawing my objection and closing the discussion as there is evidently no consensus to merge, nor is anyone strongly minded to do so. I agree that separating the material about the former building, and about the museum, is reasonable. Klbrain (talk) 21:04, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
