A museum whose building is not even designed yet! WP:CRYSTAL and puffery for a businessman. Even the article itself has an example of a planned but failed museum. Staszek Lem (talk) 22:11, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Wikipedia has a long tradition of articles on proposed museums. See, for example, Museum of the Bible, Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Be sure to scroll down on one of these pages and look at the category: proposed museums.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:23, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the page of another new Warsaw museum, the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews predates the museum by several years. In other words, starting a page on the strength of a well-sourced plan for a museum is thoroughly routine at Wikipedia.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:36, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also note That when a proposal like The Boston Museum fails, we simply update the page and move it from Category:Proposed museums to category:Failed Museum proposals. This is routine stuff at Wikipedia. User:Staszek Lem, I can see why this would seem strange to someone who is not a museum professional, but proposed museums (c.f., Lucas Museum of Narrative Art) are a big deal with major repercussions (in city planning, competitive philanthropy, competitive art collecting) so it is natural for newspapers and Wikipedia to cover them. I do hope that you will reconsider, and, perhaps, if it is not asking too big a favor, help me expand this article with Polish sources. We could even take it ti DYK if we move quickly enough. Snaring this museum for Warsaw would be a major coup. Switzerland is still gnashing its teeth over losing the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum to Madrid.
