An unnecessary essay-like article, very much a tour guide, likely WP:OR. The museums have their own articles, or individual articles can be created where they do not. See WP:NOTGUIDE. This has been moved to draft once already. Unilaterally moving it back would be move warring, so I have brought it here for discussion Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 07:39, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but then, I am the author. First, let me say that the article is absolutely not WP:OR because every statement has been carefully sourced. The reason I started the article was that there was a nice version of it in Italian Wikipedia, and provided an overview of the museums and facts about them "as a whole", e.g. that there are many museums there, because the city was not attacked, even during WWII, and that the museums exist now because the Medici and the Savoy put their art there. Also the fact that the museums give rise to the Stendhal syndrome applies to them all, not each. And no one disputes that the article is notable. User:Salimfadhley who placed the essay tag before, and moved to draft agreed that the tag was not proper and the article is not an essay. There was no reason for me not to move it back. Overall, "much ad about nothing" regarding a notable topic, and a fully referenced article. It is just surprising what one has to do to help build an article on a notable topic, which is fully referenced. I will not get a dime if this article exists, but I had assumed that the users would have been helped by the article. Ode+Joy (talk) 08:02, 12 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
