Outline

Jboigen1 (talk) 16:04, 16 November 2015 (UTC) Your outline is excellent and it follows the guidelines of Wikipedia. I think that you covered all of the basis that pertain to deaccessioning as it is a complex subject. The only suggestion I have is for the criteria, I know this is a draft but other criteria for disposal can include items that are repatriated due to NAGPRA or looted items from the Nazi era. Another one that comes to mind is when an object poses health hazards to staff. One source I can recommend, that provides an in-depth overview of deaccessioning, is the National Park Service. Great work! Pocahontess (talk) 01:52, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I think that your outline is quite thorough and indepth. However, I agree with the previous review regarding the deaccessing criteria in which objects that have been stolen or illegally imported should be expanded to repatriation under NAGPRA guidelines and Nazi looted art. I also like that you mention the object no longer fits within the framework of the institution's mission and collecting goals, for this is what happens in most cases when an object is submitted before the museum's committee for deaccessiong approval.Tfann (talk) 21:35, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Definition

This article came across as strangely reluctant to explain what happens with a deaccessioned object; to find the answer to the question "removed to where?" a reader had to read the entire article. Adding words to the lead that clarifies the item is sold or otherwise disposed of, complete with sources. CapnZapp (talk) 14:36, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
