Keep, obviously. It includes a major temple which does not have a separate article. This is the Luermen Matzu Temple. Look at the pictures. Try alternate spellings, e.g. the Luerhmen Mazu Temple. It is notable. --do ncr am 21:02, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, I think. I'm not sure the standards applied to a corporation etc. should be applied to a museum, which is more of a history-thing than an organization-thing... Assuming their website is truthful, "The museum has a rich collection of artifacts from Zheng Chenggong’s time, such as weapons, armor, and books including a map of Taiwan that was made starting in 1703 and completed in 1722" in addition to including the temple and also a historical house. It there was a similar-size museum in Virginia we would probably keep it. Granted, its not well ref'd and according to the nominator can't be. But we should give a little leeway maybe for museums in non-English countries; they are going to harder to source naturally, but are possibly still worthwhile.

Keep, I've heavily expanded the article, the museum is listed in the Ministry of Culture website of Taiwan (Republic of China), listed in the local gov Tainan City Government website, found coverage of the temple in online news (Focus Taiwan - 2 sources & Taiwan News - 1 source), and it is about Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong) a very famous figure in East Asia. The article is heavily linked to other articles as well. Chongkian (talk) 00:23, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
