- Keep. I came to this puzzled too why it was up for deletion. --Bduke (talk) 11:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Clearly notable. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 12:48, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. Notable even when defunct. --Mervyn (talk) 16:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. How can this stub be 'Clearly notable' based on a single source that says nothing more than 'it closed' (from a low-circulation local newspaper?) Clearly fails WP:N there's no prospect of this article being any more than a single sentence based on the complete lack of in-depth coverage by any source. JeffUK (talk) 16:54, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete owing to a lack of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Very clearly fails to meet WP:N. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 05:59, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: "Keep" !votes need to elaborate further. Citing a relevant notability guideline, how is this museum notable?

- The fact it is seen as "the quirkiest science centre museum in the U.K" and "it was inspired by the world famous Exploratorium in San Francisco and the Questacon Science Circus based in Canberra" makes it interesting as these are famous museums. It does however need sources other than the local newspaper, but I think that needs someone closer to the museum than I am. --Bduke (talk) 02:02, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete Not the most detailed nomination I've seen, but sort of cuts to the chase. If you want The Express as higher circulation coverage, here it is, but it's a pretty passing mention. Other than that, notability is absent. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:19, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
