I'm completely confused. I created a new page based on the same format as the Ty Cobb Museum and the Yogi Berra Museum. Please advise what I need to change to maintain the site.. Ecupirate99 (talk) 01:21, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Ecupirate99: Thanks for your question. First of all, would you please disclose if you have a conflict of interest with the subject of the article? This is important for all editors to know. Now, while you've done a reasonably good job stripping out the advertising material from this article, there's little in it that suggests to me the article passes a Wikipedia policy called notability. This is how we decide whether something deserves its own article on Wikipedia. Because Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, we have to make decisions about what is allowed. The reason I don't think the museum is notable is because it doesn't meet The Golden Rule: significant coverage in multiple, independent sources. I could only find one short local news article (the one you provided as a source) about the museum. Business listings and advertising material don't count when establishing notability. If you do have any sources that prove the museum is notable, you should mention them in the deletion discussion here. As for the other museums, "other stuff exists" is not usually a suitable argument, and I'm not really convinced they are notable either, although there seemed to be more coverage of the Ty Cobb one. I will be investigating further. I'm sorry if this had not been a good experience for you. If you have any further questions please reply here. Triptothecottage (talk) 01:38, 7 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
