Merge

I think this should stay as a re-direct at minimum becuase it's likely to be a search term but absent finding more sources, any thoughts on merging it with the uni? _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 17:03, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The template that I put up at the top wasn't intended as an AFD nomination. Some things are inherently notable. Although a small science museum might not be so obviously notable I am hoping that there are additional paper sources out there that will support the retention of this as a separate article. (If somebody actually nominated it for deletion, I might vote for "merge and redirect," but it hasn't, and I won't.) 69.140.152.55 (talk) 00:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Linking related discussion: I know you didn't nominate it, but the lack of notability was something I was thinking of even as I created this. I'm shocked that there's so little turning up -- even from the uni newspaper which makes me think it may be operating under another name as well. I ned to do some digging. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 04:03, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because there are sources that can be used to flesh out this article. I didn't find them in a Google News Archives search, but these articles from the Oneonta Daily Star are on the web, free for the picking:
- Reads gave back to community, see second half of article
- "Oneonta couple earn honor for dedication to community"
- "Retired director says he’ll still help out"

Good find, thanks Noroton! I'm going to add them to the article in a moment to help flesh it out. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 13:44, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grant Article

(I also left this note for 69... on the talk page in case s/he isn't watching the page) I removed the source in the see-also section because it appears that he received the grant for work unrelated to the science center. If I'm wrong, please feel free to re-add it. The link above is a direct link to the article, not password protected. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 14:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
