Keep. Seems consistent with
wp:museum, which is a draft guideline only. There is plenty of news coverage of exhibits and so on at the museum. I just added a couple of 2014 news items. The article is brand new and needs editing (it was written with a review-like / judgmental tone) but the subject is notable. There is no requirement in wp:museums or anywhere that a museum must be accredited. Museums are public institutions that are almost always notable by their nature. And here, there is more that is said, and that could be said, than is appropriate within the main university article. The "section" mentioned is an unreferenced couple of lines. Developing a proper article is a step forward for the wikipedia. --

Comment. The article has been edited by someone else, dropping
this reference I had added about a recent exhibit. The exhibit, which seems to me to be possibly from the museum's permanent collection (not sure), included
Albrecht Durer and
Salvador Dali works. I don't particularly care about what shows in the article now, but this is evidence of some importance for the museum, whether the works are in the permanent collection or not. --

Keep This is a break-out from
Binghamton University, and I marked the main article. It would help to have a history of the museum. I saw one reference going back to 1969. The museum attracts the attention of the world at large with each new exhibit, as well as from its permanent collection. I added a reference that it receives 25,000 visitors per year. Other names on which to search are "BU Art Museum" and "Binghamton Art Museum."

Keep This needs a separate page to highlight specific facets of the permanent collection of this university art museum. — Preceding

Keep as noted by attendance, identity separate from the University, and consistent with other museum articles.
