Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Miniature White House
There is nothing in otability which calls for exclusion of something which has http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=Zweifel+%22miniature+white+house%22&num=10&as_price=p0&scoring=a&hl=en&ned=us&sa=N&start=60 significant coverage, over several decades, in multiple reliable and independent sources, just because some editors don't think it is important enough to have an article. This 1/12 scale model, described recently in http://www.americanprofile.com/heroes/article/5341.html American Profile,  has been reported by newspapers all over the U.S. since 1977, per Google News archive. There is coverage from 1977 to the present(much behind paywall). See http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=bk4NAAAAIBAJ&sjid=pm0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=3300,1001775&dq=zweifel+miniature-white-house Pittsburgh Post Gazette(1983) which says it is 60 feet by 20 feet, and took 200,000 hours to build, starting in 1961. It includes rooms not open to the public and not included on tourist maps of the building. By 1983 it had been exhibited in all 50 states. It weighs 10 tons per http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/access/17416374.html?dids=17416374:17416374&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Aug+16%2C+1996&author=Amy+Wu%2C+Tribune+Staff+Writer.&pub=Chicago+Tribune+%28pre-1997+Fulltext%29&desc=NO+SMALL+DREAMS+JOHN+ZWEIFEL%27S+MINIATURE+WHITE+HOUSE+HAS+EVERYTHING+BUT+BILL+AND+HILLARY&pqatl=google Chicago Tribune (1996), and by then had cost nearly $1 million for materials and transportation.. http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-991723.html Washington Post (1992) said it got updated seasonal decorations, and was exhibited at the National Museum of American History. http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=AT&p_theme=at&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EADA27661D557CD&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM The Atlanta Journal (1996) said it had clocks that tick and chimneys that smoke. In sum, there are 83 references with significant coverage in Google News archive, from at least 1977, 1978, 1983, 1985, 1988, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007, and 2008, clearly not just reprints of the same wire service story or press release. Google book search shows a 1994 book about it published by Norton  with creator Zweiful's cooperation http://books.google.com/books?as_q=Zweifel+&num=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=miniature+white+house&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_brr=0&as_pt=ALLTYPES&lr=&as_vt=&as_auth=&as_pub=&as_sub=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_isbn=&as_issn=, and http://books.google.com/books?as_q=Zweifel+&num=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=miniature+white+house&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_brr=0&as_pt=ALLTYPES&lr=&as_vt=&as_auth=&as_pub=&as_sub=&as_drrb_is=q&as_minm_is=0&as_miny_is=&as_maxm_is=0&as_maxy_is=&as_isbn=&as_issn= 5 other instances of book coverage of unknown extent (snippet views). The Gerald Ford Library site http://www.fordlibrarymuseum.gov/museum/exhibits/wh_miniature/main.html says it is "Considered to be one of the world's great miniature houses," that it has been exhibited at the Smithsonian and the Kennedy and Reagan libraries, and that it has been "hailed by presidents, first ladies and the general public as a masterpiece in the art of miniature." http://www.americanheritage.com/articles/magazine/ah/2003/5/2003_5_9.shtml Americanheritage.com says it is listed by Guiness Book of World Records as "the world's largest dollhouse," though its builder denies it is a dollhouse. This is not some random replica haphazardly built and little noted. It is a work of art.  is abundantly satisfied
