Proposed merge of University art museums and galleries in the United States into List of university museums in the United States

This severely underdeveloped article used to be located at University art museums and galleries, but it was moved to the more specific U.S.-specific title (seemingly without much consensus/with objections). To the extent that there's anything salvageable, it could help improve the lead at this list article (most university museums seem to be art galleries, so there's a bunch of overlap). Other stuff might be able to form the core of a revived University art museums and galleries page, which I concur with User:Sionk and User:Pigsonthewing ought to exist. Pinging User:Hegvald and User:JBW as the others involved. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 05:22, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support merger, I'd forgotten about that page move, it was 9 years ago after all, but the University art museums and galleries in the United States has not been further developed or improved, is still largely unsourced and essay-like. I agree, a pared-down version would be a perfect introduction to a list article and wouldn't increase it in size unduly. Sionk (talk) 10:20, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pinging me, but my involvement all those years ago concerned a different issue, and I don’t really have any opinion on the present one. (Incidentally, I don't think that I would now do what I did back then.) JBW (talk) 12:25, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 07:55, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

List cleanup and referencing

WP:LISTORG suggests lists of organizations need independent verification, if they don't have their own standalone article. Several of these entries are cited only to their own (or their university) website. Many other entries have piped links to another (e.g. the parent university) Wikipedia article, sometimes with no independent evidence of their existence. To the person that removed the 'refimprove' cleanup template, I'd say we need to address this problem first. Sionk (talk) 17:07, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
