Talk:Fondation Calvet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Name

...from AfD discussion: ....[this] should be renamed (Musée Calvet), and the foundation should be described at the Founders page (Calvet). --rpd (talk) 22:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd agree with the rename, except that the Foundation now runs three units in 3 locations; I think the situation is better handled with redirects, which need to be done. Johnbod (talk) 22:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Just one moment please, I have to check it. --rpd (talk) 22:22, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
The founder, Esprit Calvet, has already an entry. Thus, renaming/shifting the page will cause little problem.--rpd (talk) 22:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
I think you miss my point. You have the main Musée Calvet, the Musée Lapidaire, and the Library (which includes the coins, and the prints I think). In fact here there seem to be 9 different museums involved - only one "branded" as the "Musée Calvet". Johnbod (talk) 22:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, let's have a word on administration (the museum, for example) and ownership (the foundation, one of more possibilities), for then we are at least at the soil of the problem. The Museum Calvet houses various collections, one of which is part of the Calvet Foundation, which, on the other hand, owns (or once owned?) things which are now in the Louvre. Here at WP, it's our task not to mix up these things, I believe.--rpd (talk) 23:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Exactly - but I think it is the other way round - the Louvre has deposited objects in Avignon. What about all the other musems? Johnbod (talk) 23:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
For the deposits of the Louvre you're right - sorry. The Musée Lapidaire is, at present, evidently seen over by the Musée Calvet (and appears on its webpage). Musée Calvet's own entry on WP was redirected to Esprit Calvet, by Wetman. All entries involved are stubs, and now? --rpd (talk) 21:52, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
It should clearly redirect to this article. But the foundation also run the Petit Palais, the Natural history Museum, the Jewish museum etc etc. Since we don't have articles on these, we should add them to this article under the founation name. I'll copy all this to the talk page, where it should be continued. Johnbod (talk) 23:58, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
