490:- whether this is to be kept or not, I am not sure. However, we need to clarify that this a primarily a cultural center, not a museum, in the sense I think most of our readers would think. It could be notable - the Chicago area has a large Southern Slav population, as well as many fine museums and cultural centers of international repute. But so far, I have not read much to convince me either way. A reference to a local consortium of cultural centers does not give me a lot of respect for this institution. An organization needs to show that it has been covered by multiple sources of independent media, or have won recognition from national or state agencies, such as landmark status, to be notable. Userfication would be appropriate here.
198:. The only source given in the article is a self-published (by the writer, not by the museum) book from 1984. Looking for other sources, I can't find any reliable sources giving any significant attention to this museum, only some routine listings of events at the museum, and mentions from less reliable sources (fora, blogs, personal websites, ...)

Yes, because I researched it a bit more, we now know that they changed the name to "museum" fairly recently (though it's unclear if this means they started exhibitions at that time or earlier). However, even without the museum aspect, it still appears that they have been a major cultural force in
596:- The organization has simply not been discussed in depth by a sufficient number of independent sources. Age does not confer notability, otherwise I would write articles about some of the rocks in my back yard. I also agree with WsIhaUN? Renaming it will not make it notable. -
512:, as this was apparently for many years a worldwide diaspora movement based in Chicago, and would be the primary source of notability. And then perhaps have the actual "museum" part as a subsection of this, as the latest evolution of what was once a more major organization.--

KEEP - The
Serbian American Museum St. Sava is a notable organization. The Serbian American Museum St. Sava is recognized as an ethnic community organization by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs ,
