Keep I’ve added five refs. I don’t see a huge amount of in-depth coverage, but the museum has a scholarly catalogue and is referenced in many books.

Whilst new sources are welcome. I'm not sure some of them meet
WP:SIGCOV:
- This one
[1] is about the Babungo Mask. The word museum (musee in French), appears only on 1 line.
It tells us that this museum contains 3,000 objects.

[2] I'm not sure it's indepth coverage, just single mentions of "Babungo" in a book.
It demonstrates that there is a catalogue.

- This one
[3] again not indepth, merely refers to 2 pictures of the museum.
Well it’s all we can see because of google book restrictions, but plainly the work covers material about the design and building of this museum.

Is the description of the design and building of this museum, somewhere in text in this book?

[4], a 1 word mention of Babungo in a 11 page document.

No, it describes the background and context of the creation of museums in Cameroon, makes clear why this particular region was important, and describes how and why thus museum (and others) were established.

It's not
WP:SIGCOV as it does not specifically refer to this museum except once. If there was a
Museums in Cameroon article, then yes.

Keep. It's sourced, there's no reason to doubt that anything the article says is true, and I can't think of any way in which removing this article will improve the lives of our readers or improve the way information is spread around the world (which is fundamentally what an encyclopaedia is about). This looks like a pointless deletion for deletion's sake.
