This article appears to entirely consist of original research. I've been able to look through about half of the citations, which are hard to follow up on due to the lack of hyperlinks or page numbers, and have not found the phrase "hypermuseum" or any derivation thereof in any of the sources that I have been able to track down. Searching on Google Scholar, there are a fair number of hits for "Hypermuseum", but the concept described in those articles is completely distinct from the definition given here: the former appears to be a virtual museum platform ([1]), whereas this article describes hypermuseums as museums that are architectural masterpieces in their own right. There may be some content here worth using somewhere on Wikipedia, but as written the article appears to coin a new term from whole cloth, which isn't acceptable. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 22:04, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I have encountered much difficulty trying to access the sources cited in the article, and in the sources I was able to gain access to, there was no mention of the concept of a hypermuseum. This is the only source I could find which even mentioned the concept. Therefore, this article at best describes an obscure, coined research term which ought to be deleted per WP:NEO and WP:OR. As an alternative to deletion, it may be possible for some of the useful information in the article to be selectively merged to an appropriate title such as museum architecture. However, much of the information in the article is couched in the terms of a hypermuseum (which as mentioned falls within WP:NEO, and as such the passages probably need a fundamental rewrite before they could be usable. Unless someone is willing to perform the merge, or otherwise demonstrate widespread usage of the term in the academia / news, my delete vote stays. --Dps04 (talk) 13:22, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per WP:NEO and because this is an essay full of OR. Mccapra (talk) 06:30, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete appears to fail on WP:NOR and WP:NEO and has WP:NPOV issues. KylieTastic (talk) 17:20, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
