Hi, This is the third time I've submitted this page for creation. The first time it was declined for lack of references, which was just because I didn't put in the 'References' title. The second time it was rejected for 1) being biased and 2) not having enough contents to account for a page of it's own. Instead, it was recommended to shrink it to a quarter of it's size and add it to a the sub section in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem's page.
Accordingly, I've rephrased the content (now I think it's not as biased), though I disagree about its being a page of it's own. Before I'll explain why, I'd like to declare my COI with this article - I'm working in NPG. After reading the guidelines in such a case, I've been trying to keep as neutral a stand as I can in making this page.
A Letter of Justification:
1) Hundreds of open air museums around the world have their own Wiki pages, two of them in Israel. Many of these pages have no more content, publications, or referencing that NPG. Several have a good deal less. List of open-air and living museums

2) Hundreds of “gardens,” “horticultural gardens,” “botanical gardens,” “arboreta,” and “sculpture gardens” on university campuses have their own Wiki pages, rather than sections of their university’s sites.

3) NPG, in a sense, combines elements of the 1 and 2 above, being an open air museum on a university campus.

4) A museum needn’t be housed within a building, according to the widely accepted definition of museums by UNESCO’s International Commission on Museums: “A museum is a non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and enjoyment.” NPG fully meets these criteria.

5) Like NPG, hundreds of other university museums meet UNESCO’s criteria. In a recent check of many of these, each one checked was found to have its own Wiki page.

Best, Michael

OK I've accepted the article "as is" and am letting it take its chances in the main encyclopedia. Rankersbo (talk) 11:42, 13 October 2014 (UTC)Reply
