 * Delete. Promotional article for a web site.  Not an article topic per Project:What is an article and not something that should be linked to per Project:External links. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 10:55, 22 November 2010 (EST)

 * Speedy delete. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 11:13, 22 November 2010 (EST)

 * Delete — I agree with Ryan's reasons. It is possible though unlikely that a guide to world beaches could be developed as a travel topic, but this is not it. Does anyone actually plan a trip based on the beaches alone? Like, lets go to Skilpadvrekvandiedorsfontein, it has a great beach. There is nothing else within 100 miles, but who cares, the beach is nice... Surf, yes, definitely, surfers will endure great hardship for a good wave, but that is not the beach, it is the wave break that is important. • • • (WT-en) Peter (Southwood) Talk 02:57, 23 November 2010 (EST)

Www.munnarelephantpark.com
Appears to be self promotion of 'Munnar Carmelagiri Elephant Park who operates an elephant safari park in Munnar.

This looks like a legitimate attraction of Munnar and would best be described in detail in that article rather than in a separate one. I nominate the article for deletion and for the useful content to be moved across to the Munnar article. (WT-en) felix 09:03, 10 December 2010 (EST)

Route 62
Highway article started with copyrighted material, which I removed. I don't know if this would be a good candidate for someone to write an itinerary about, but until someone speaks up and starts writing an itinerary, I think it should just be deleted.

BR-101
Started 3 years ago not as an itinerary but as a simple list of states and cities that the highway passes through, two thirds of which have no article. It couldn't make a very logical itinerary because the highway itself is extremely long and is broken into non-contiguous sections and furthermore, it skirts many of the bigger nearby regional destination/attractions that most travellers wouldn't want to miss (Florianópolis, São Paulo, Salvador, etc.) The places along the highway for which we have articles are already linked by routebox navigation, so this article is essentially useless and unnecessary.

Picture Violations
These are not on Shared:
 * Image:Riding Holidays 7.jpg - has a border
 * Image:Mozambique-horse-safari.jpg - attribution/ad on the image
 * Image:4.jpg - border and attribution/ad on the image

 * Having a border is no reason to delete. But TinEye found a match on the (defunct) horse safari web site, so it likely isn't freely licensed.  (WT-en) LtPowers 16:52, 1 December 2010 (EST)

 * Borders have been used before as reasons to delete and I've never seen anyone defend a bordered image. At their best, they look too commercial, and at their worst, they ruin the picture. They always look inappropriate for Wikivoyage, in my opinion. (WT-en) ChubbyWimbus 01:01, 2 December 2010 (EST)

 * Delete. All three appear to be promotional in nature, which is typically reason for deletion - the first image was uploaded by a user apparently trying to promote a specific resort, and the other two are obvious.  With respect to the border, in the past borders have been used as a rationale to delete otherwise questionable images since it's not standard Wikivoyage style, particularly when the original uploader is not around to provide a non-bordered image.  One further point - please list articles & images separately on this page in the future.  As this discussion shows, because one nomination was made for three separate images we are now forced to have three separate discussions in the same thread. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 01:13, 2 December 2010 (EST)

 * Borders and text on the images can be removed quite easily by cropping the edges. I can do this if the images are worth keeping. They dont seem to have a copyleft listed on the file description page, or have explicitly been uploaded without one. • • • (WT-en) Peter (Southwood) Talk 05:11, 2 December 2010 (EST)

 * Just to clarify, past VFDs have cited borders as a contributing reason to delete questionable images. We often have images from users where the source isn't entirely clear, the purpose of the image isn't clear, etc, and in those cases a border has been cited as a contributing factor towards deletion of the image.  In this case, the fact that the image in question appears to have been uploaded for promotional purposes AND has a border (and is thus not standard Wikivoyage style) are both reasons to consider deletion. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 11:19, 2 December 2010 (EST)

Yes, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear; the border can be removed with ease, which is why there's no reason to delete it just because it has a border. (WT-en) LtPowers 08:02, 2 December 2010 (EST)

 * Sorry for uploading all of them together! I did it because they are all from the same user, so I thought discussion would revolve around them as a group, as well. If they are violations from a website, then perhaps the rest of this users images should also be deleted. I think there were only a few more. (WT-en) ChubbyWimbus 18:59, 2 December 2010 (EST)

Wikivoyage:Votes for deletion/December 2011

Tham Nong Pafa Cave
It is obviously an attraction and not an article. It is not even an especially important attraction and should be deleted according to policy. I guess a merge and re-direct to Tha Khaek would be OK though.--(WT-en) burmesedays 10:23, 13 September 2011 (EDT)
 * Merge and redirect to Tha Khaek. --(WT-en) globe-trotter 11:01, 13 September 2011 (EDT)

Image:Cleethorpes seafront.jpg

 * Delete. See Cleethorpes for the current usage of this image - it's a pretty image, but at 7199x367 the aspect ratio makes it nearly impossible to use in a web-based travel guide. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 00:47, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

 * Modify and Keep. Unless we have a better image, this one is an excellent perspective on Cleethorpes, showing the mudflat, the tide out, and the tacky English seafront attractions along the waterfront.  In fact the image says everything about the town, such that the rest of the article text should in fact be deleted, and just replaced with this image.  --(WT-en) inas 20:44, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

 * Delete - I'm not a fan of using panoramas in the first place, and this one is beyond extreme, such that even if we trimmed off 3/4 of it, it would still be unwieldy at a comfortable viewing size, and it would lose most of the advantages Inas mentions. Plus, at a comfortable viewing size, it's pretty grainy picture quality. I'd say it's better to dump this and find 2 or 3 reasonably framed shots from Flickr or something. (WT-en) texugo 22:40, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

 * Keep, at least until we have a better image to replace it with. (WT-en) Pashley 02:13, 28 October 2011 (EDT)
 * No comment on how to make it useable? At a size where it fits on the article page, it's microscopic, not even viewable-- you can't tell what anything is.(WT-en) texugo 07:53, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

 * On the article page it is unviewable, but one click, and it is a really descriptive image. Took me a couple of seconds to have a look at it, and most people using WT can click on a image and have a monitor that can view it.  It needs replacing, and the article needs development.  Once that is done the image can be orphaned and removed easily enough.  --(WT-en) inas 18:17, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
 * That completely ignores the goal of having a printable guide. Everyone so far has admitted it needs to be replaced, but if we don't do something right here and now, if we let this just go to "Keep" despite its poor fit with our goals, then it's back to being out-of-sight, out-of-mind, and it could actually be years before anyone gets around to replacing it. On top of that, this image is uploaded here on en:, and without any source.(WT-en) texugo 21:49, 30 October 2011 (EDT)
 * No it doesn't. It reaffirms that having a printable guide is a goal.  I just think that this image has potential to be chopped up and used in the guide in preference to having nothing.  So, I think it would be a bad thing to remove it before we have something else, because for all we know this may be the best we have. There may well be better images out there, and when we find them we move another step towards our goal.  I've been to Cleethorpes twice, and I really, really don't want to go back there to take a picture of it.  --(WT-en) inas 18:23, 2 November 2011 (EDT)
 * I'd honestly like to see us set an upper limit on aspect ration. Nobody should have to click through to the image page to view anything.(WT-en) texugo 22:22, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

 * Keep. Its initial aspect ratio made it unusable, but I have cropped it to make it viewable in the article. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 11:25, 14 November 2011 (EST)
 * Any further comment? The image is still somewhat unwieldy, but with Peter's change it's no longer completely unusable so I'd be OK with keeping it until someone adds more appropriate images to the article. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 12:56, 1 December 2011 (EST)

Result: Kept. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 13:27, 3 December 2011 (EST)

Blue Lagoon

 * Delete. This is a very nice article about a single geothermal bath. Although it's extremely popular and they do offer some limited accommodation, by no means can this be considered a resort or a destination in its own right. The information belongs either in the article for nearby town Grindavík or simply as an activity in the Southwest Iceland region. --(WT-en) sterio 06:28, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

 * Create Grindavik and merge there. Blue Lagoon is a loose term and very widespread.  There are two Blue Lagoons in Bali for example, and I am sure heaps elsewhere.  Therefore I propose that Blue Lagoon is not redirected to Grindavik.--(WT-en) burmesedays 06:55, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

 * This seems like a borderline case - the Blue Lagoon is one of the most popular destinations/attractions in Iceland, so it seems important to have decent information about it in Wikivoyage, but it also isn't something that would typically get its own article. The information needs to be somewhere, but I'm not sure that putting it in Southwest Iceland makes sense and Grindavík may be too far away to be an obvious solution.  If there isn't a place to put the information that makes it easy for travelers to find then I'd say keep, although if it can be included in another article in a way that makes sense then either a redirect or a disambiguation page would be fine. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 10:22, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

 * The more I think about it, the more I agree it should not be in Grindavík. Not because of the distance (it's just a few km outside the town) but because tourists would generally approach Grindavík for very different reasons than the Blue Lagoon. But it fits perfectly in the "Do" section of Southwest Iceland: It is an activity in this region, and usually done either during visits to other sites in the region (Reykjavík and the international airport), or as an extention of the Golden Circle in South Iceland. It should be mentioned in the Iceland, South Iceland and Reykjavík articles, but the listing belongs in the Southwest. And it should not be a separate page because all that needs to be said is what it is, where it is, how to get there, and how much it costs as well as a few lines on how good/bad people think it is. That's what the page does now, only in a somewhat elongated form. I can understand that people feel this attraction needs more info than just any other swimming pool, though. Maybe a special box on the Southwest Iceland page would be a good idea? --(WT-en) sterio 11:09, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

 * Keep. It cannot be solely in Southwest Iceland as that is a region article. Region articles give an overview of the region, but do not include any listings. The problem, then, is how we deal with small villages and outlying sights like the Blue Lagoon. This has been a point of contention on Wikivoyage for a while, and I don't think we have found a compelling solution for this yet. However, the Blue Lagoon is a major natural attraction with 400,000 visitors annually, so I think it could be a separate park article, just like Angkor Archaeological Park and Borobudur. I agree it's a borderline case, but I wouldn't know how else to deal with it. --(WT-en) globe-trotter 13:31, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

 * Keep (WT-en) Pashley 20:51, 28 September 2011 (EDT)

 * First, is there a WT policy that says an attraction cannot be listed in a Region article only? Second, I think it is very notable that our only regular Icelandic contributor does not think this is an article.--(WT-en) burmesedays 21:54, 28 September 2011 (EDT)
 * It's definitely questionable whether the Blue Lagoon merits its own article based on Wikivoyage's standard criteria, and were it less popular there probably wouldn't need to be further discussion. However, I would hazard a guess that the Blue Lagoon is the country's second most visited spot (behind Reykjavik) so it's important that Wikivoyage cover it and definitely worth considering whether it merits an exception under existing policy.  Most people going to the Blue Lagoon will do so as a day trip or half-day trip and will need info on how to get there, what to expect, whether food is available, etc.  If that can be adequately covered as a listing in a region article then that might be the best option, but it seems like it may just make more sense to keep the info in its own article rather than trying to wedge it into something that looks more like a standard Wikivoyage attraction. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 22:34, 28 September 2011 (EDT)
 * I have to admit, I'm slightly perplexed by this discussion. The Blue Lagoon doesn't fit any of the loose criteria there is for exceptions for article status: It's not remote, it's not large or complex. It's not a park of any kind, or an independent destination in its own right. For the visitor it functions much like any other pool: You get there (driving yourself or by bus), pay, shower, swim, shower again, maybe eat in the café, and leave. In addition, there's a restaurant and a gift shop. And that's about it unless have psoriasis, in which case your doctor can recommend you go there for treatment. The only thing that makes this place possibly warrant a separate article is that it doesn't fit in the Reykjavík article (it's not in Reykjavík) or the Grindavík article (very few who visit the Blue Lagoon actually enter the town). The fact that many people go there isn't, in my view, reason enough for a separate article. In fact, apart from the introduction, there is very little content in the current article other than what I just mentioned. Some of what's there is even slightly silly and shouldn't be there, in my opinion (taking a taxi and making it wait outside is just stupid, and this article lists the rules that apply to every single swimming pool in Iceland).
 * However, this rule globe-trotter mentions about no listings in region articles is highly problematic in the case of Iceland. Most people come their not for the urban areas, but for the stuff in between them. People come to experience nature, towns are often only where they go to eat and sleep. The sights and activities do in many cases belong better in region articles than city or town articles. If this is a rule, I would see much more use in getting an exception from it rather than the rule on what is an article. --(WT-en) sterio 05:24, 30 September 2011 (EDT)
 * That means the cities in Iceland should cover a broader area than just the city itself. For example, Kanchanaburi is a city that covers a huge surrounding area, as travelers use that as a base for all the natural attractions in the area. Bali gives a good example how to divide a whole island. About the Blue Lagoon, maybe an article Reykjanes Peninsula could do it? Or we could include it in Reykjavik, as that is where most travellers come from. --(WT-en) globe-trotter 07:23, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

 * Sterio's latest comment is very telling to me. This is clearly not an article.
 * I ask again if there is really a rule that an attraction cannot be described in a region article and nowhere else? If that is the case, just stick this in the nearest city article as the attraction that it is.
 * As an aside, I don't see anything wrong with the regional split of Iceland. The plan was actually re-done quite recently with extensive local input from User Sterio.--(WT-en) Burmesedays 09:52, 30 September 2011 (EDT)
 * I have not proposed re-doing the regions of Iceland, I just proposed a new article at the lowest level of the hierarchy, similar to Bukit Peninsula in Bali. But I don't know Iceland well enough, it was just a suggestion. Regions only give an overview, no listings, as written at Region article template. I agree that it is an attraction, but wouldn't know which city it should be placed in. --(WT-en) globe-trotter 11:30, 30 September 2011 (EDT)

 * Attractions definitely can be listed in regions, but I'm pretty certain our practice and discussions permit them only in "bottom level regions"—"region" articles containing no separate articles beneath for cities or other destinations. They essentially serve the same purpose as a city article, but do so for an agglomeration of rural areas and towns that do not warrant their own articles. This discussion has the most information on this topic, but is going to just confuse anyone not very familiar with the topic to begin with. I'm going to whip up a blurb in Project:Geographical hierarchy, and see if it's acceptable for those involved in the evolving discussion.

 * I do think that this article does not meet our article criteria, and runs afoul of our Project:Bodies of water policy, so ideally, I vote merge and redirect, but only if we can come up with a good place to which we would merge and redirect (I do not know Iceland enough to help with that). Otherwise, I'd vote keep as an exception on the pragmatic basis of not having a better option. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 11:32, 30.September 2011 (EDT)

Nekala
Merge to Tampere. This seems to be somebody's idea of a joke, or a bizarre attempt at spam by the "detective agency". Nekala is a suburban neighbourhood of Tampere, mostly known for its wooden houses and large allotment gardens; my grandparents owned one and I spent many an idyllic summer day there as a kid. One chunk of it does contain dodgy public housing full of alcoholics, but the stuff about people going around carrying knifes, defending their honor etc is just ridiculous -- and the reason the article should be deleted is that there's absolutely nothing for a tourist to see. (WT-en) jpatokal 06:10, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

Jpatokal; I think you are right and somewhat wrong at the same time. There is indeed no doubt that the article seems a bit ridiculous at its present state and the image it gives is very one-sided. However, I cannot find any actual errors or lies from article. From my personal and limited history in the late 90s I can say that at its worst, parts of Nekala where exactly as described in the article. I think the writer might just be familiar with a very small chunk of Nekala and therefore naively presents his experiences being true to the whole area. In my opinion, the article should be expanded to provide a more wholesome picture of Nekala. The mention about the detective agency seems indeed too much like an add.

I see no reason to delete the article just because the area is not interesting. Don't we all feel that way about the places we live in? Finnish neighbourhood might feel very exciting to someone from a different culture. For example, the lake Iidesjärvi is a very important natural scenery very close to the city centre. 88.192.177.6 14:42, 22 October 2011 (EDT) Viinikka Vanha Liitto

 * This is the wrong place to have this discussion, as no one is arguing for it to be deleted. The article should have the merge tag on top of it, and this discussion (about merging or not) should be relocated to the Talk page of that article. --(WT-en) globe-trotter 15:03, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

 * Keep for now.  As per (WT-en) globe-trotter.  Sure it probably needs merge and redirect.  I'd like to nominate (WT-en) jpatokal for the job, given his familiarity with the area.  --(WT-en) Inas 20:49, 4 December 2011 (EST)

I know you were just trying to help and improve things, but this damages the site, it doesn't help it. I've removed it from the Nainital page for now since it seems highly likely to be deleted.

Category:Airports
I don't think we want to do this sort of category. Delete. -- (WT-en) Jonboy 19:47, 21 January 2007 (EST)

 * I think that if the airport article meets the Project:What is an article? criteria (which I remember reading of certain airports that do) surely it's a good idea to keep a category of them? As far as I'm aware we're not doing categories properly yet on EN, but when we do get round to doing it, when we start categorising ski resorts, beach destinations etc together, airports are going to get categorised as well. I fully agree that most airports are not going to satisfy Project:What is an article?, but the really big ones will - people will end up staying over night, and where do we put info about that airport?? For example, Heathrow isn't in London and for that matter its not really in any town or city, yet it has numerous shops, restaurants, banks, bars, hotels.... So, in conclusion, don't delete this! -- (WT-en) Tim 07:35, 24 January 2007 (EST)

 * Delete. Generally I'd rather group stuff together in actual articles rather than using categorize as a substitute for needed articles.  Make a Travel topic if this is needed. -- (WT-en) Colin 00:29, 26 January 2007 (EST)

 * Delete. I'm also going to copyvio the page. A large percentage of that info (said to belong to http://www.langebaan.biz/ where it has a copyright notice) seems to have originally been copied and pasted from http://www.sawestcoast.com/park.html, that is in itself a copy of an article from a privately owned newspaper called The Cape Odyssey.

Image:Example.jpg
Uploader says the image is available under CC-by-SA 1.0, but I suspect that it's not and request for clarification have gone unanswered. -- (WT-en) Andrew H. (Sapphire) 18:05, 12 January 2007 (EST)
 * Why do you doubt the copyleft? I see nothing about the photo to suggest it's anything other than a personal image uploaded by the owner.  There are some compositional aspects to it that say "amateur" rather than "professional" to me, and I can't find it on any other websites.  I haven't made up my mind about a vote yet, but I'd like to know what's bugging you about the thing. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 00:03, 13 January 2007 (EST)
 * The toolbar buttons for inserting an image add example.jpg as the image. (You can test this by enabling the "Show edit toolbar" toggle on the "Editing" tab of your user preferences, then editing a page and clicking on the button that looks like a little landscape. We should probably swap it out for something useful, like a gray square that says "EXAMPLE IMAGE". --(WT-en) evanp 01:51, 14 January 2007 (EST)
 * OK, I follow that. If the image is not a copyvio, another path forward would be to rename it to something more descriptive and delete the redirect page.  And yes, replacing the example.jpg reference with (foo) seems like a good idea, independent of the outcome of this particular VFD. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:07, 14 January 2007 (EST)
 * So any objections to moving it to Image:BophutBeach.jpg? --(WT-en) Jonboy 18:52, 28 January 2007 (EST)
 * No, let's do it. -- (WT-en) Andrew (Sapphire) 19:11, 28 January 2007 (EST)

Unfortunately, the move turns out not to be possible owing to a quirk of the software; apparently you can't do moves/redirects in the Image namespace. What now? Let's get this resolved. (I reluctantly vote delete under the circumstances.) -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:03, 2 February 2007 (EST)

 * It's possible to download the image, then re-upload it, provided Philweaver is attributed. I'll do it, but I'm busy today so it'll be a while before I get around to it. -- (WT-en) Andrew H. (Sapphire) 13:13, 3 February 2007 (EST)

Heathrow airport

 * Delete. Redirect to London is OK by me as well.  An airport is listed as a rare exception to get its own article per Project:What is an article?, but this one wasn't discussed and was a copyvio from Wikipedia to boot.  Personally I'd rather not see articles for airports unless there is a good reason for such an article to be created. -- (WT-en) Ryan 19:44, 20 January 2007 (EST)

 * Keep - as a redirect ~ 61.91.191.11 06:41, 4 February 2007 (EST)

 * Keep - As Article ~ Heathrow being the busiest international airport on earth (according to Capital Radio some time ago), it should be worthy of description. Perhaps in more detail (WT-en) MiddleEastern 11:41, 4 February 2007 (EST)

 * Keep as article - I agree with MiddleEastern - there are numerous bars/restaurants/hotels here, and it's hardly in London - it's about 30 miles out of the centre, and only just inside the M25. Plus, as it is one of the main hubs for international flights, people will be passing through here and spending time waiting for connections, where they may well want a hotel/meal/few drinks, so it makes sense to keep it as an article in it's own right. -- (WT-en) Tim 08:45, 14 February 2007 (EST)

 * Keep. Heathrow is the sort of mega-airport that warrants an article. It's arguably its own district of London. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 09:47, 14 February 2007 (EST)

 * Problem with all this is that maybe it "could be" an article, but in point of fact, it is not one as of today. If someone wants to turn this into at least an outline, go for it, but I see no point in keeping something around that's completely empty and could fit gracefully into the obvious city article. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:03, 14 February 2007 (EST)

 * Started. In fact, I'd be pleased to see most of the Heathrow information in the London article moved here, because it features an unusually specific level of information about where to eat etc, in what is (for all practical purposes) a region article. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 11:06, 14 February 2007 (EST)
 * Looks OK to me. Keep; I think there's a clear consensus on this one, so will deal with the paperwork shortly. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 11:23, 14 February 2007 (EST)

 * Image:Laguna Tramonto.jpg
 * Image:Museo Guzman.jpg
 * Image:Frontone di Talamone part.jpg
 * Image:Anguille Eels.jpg
 * Image:Orbetello Panoramica small.jpg

 * Delete. Proper attribution (including photographer and copyright holder) is not provided though uploader claims that these are licensed under cc-bysa.  Unless he owns a Satellite, he didn't take them all himself, so he needs to explain why these are copyable.  All photos uploaded appear in a photo gallery at Yahoo Italy linked to from the city's website. No information about copyrights is given in the photo gallery.  So unless the contributor has more information about these, I would guess he misunderstood copyright and we should delete these. -- (WT-en) Colin 02:56, 28 January 2007 (EST)

 * Keep. Of course, the first picture is taken from satellite, is one of those you can easily find all over the web and I made some changes on it with photoshop. I really don't know whether anyone can hold rights on such a picture. The other pictures are mine and I provided them to the photogallery you mentioned and I set them as free to use. As you can see, some of them are used also in the web site of Comune di Orbetello, but they simply use them and don't hold any other rights on them -- (WT-en) Pino Fusi 10:14, 29 January 2007 (EST)

 * Keep all except Image:Orbetello Argentario.jpg based on that explanation. Delete that one, since I think satellite photos can have copyright.  -- (WT-en) Jonboy 11:10, 30 January 2007 (EST)

 * What Jonboy voted. Satellite photos definitely can be copyrighted (read the watermarks on Google Earth; Google has paid some big bucks for he rights to use some of these images), so unless you can establish that the image is public domain (such as those coming from NASA), we have to assume it is not. - (WT-en) Todd VerBeek 10:45, 14 February 2007 (EST)
 * This looks right to me. I've deleted the satellite photo, but it appears that the others can stay unless there's evidence to the contrary. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:23, 15 February 2007 (EST)

 * Delete. Per Project:What is an article?, unless someone can find a town somewhere named "Mile". -- (WT-en) Ryan 23:40, 30 January 2007 (EST)

 * Keep (albeit a weak one) - out of idle curiosity I've converted it to a disambiguation page. Clearly it's not a disambiguation that we "need", but then again it probably won't do any harm either. However I've no problem with it being deleted if anyone considers it unhelpful (if so, maybe save the original "distance conversion" content elsewhere?). ~ 61.91.191.2 03:07, 31 January 2007 (EST)

 * Keep, redirect ~ 61.91.191.2 11:45, 30 January 2007 (EST)
 * Keep, at least for now. It appears that there is lodging there, after a fashion, and that it's really associated with the park.  A merger with Poitiers seems reasonable once that article is populated, n'est-ce pas? -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 10:36, 15 February 2007 (EST)

Delete - A Theme park, but unlike Disneyland, you can't sleep here (as far as I'm aware) therefore it doesn't fit with us IMO.

Conflicts with the Project:Internal links guidelines - Do not link to articles in other namespaces (Wikivoyage:, User:, Talk:) from the main namespace. Alternatively the guidelines could be clarified to permit #REDIRECT links to the User: namespace from the main namespace (but slippery slope?) or it could be redirected elsewhere (Arizona? Colorado?

 * Delete. I don't understand our anonymous contributor's commment.  Also, I added the  template to the article -- which is sort of weird with a redirect article, but it seems like it needed to be done.  Agree that speedy deleting for this circumstance should be policy, but that discussion should be carried out elsewhere. -- (WT-en) Jonboy 10:19, 7 February 2007 (EST)

 * Nah, I went ahead and did it... I think it's better to get rid of these ASAP, and the Project:Deletion policy says under "speedy delete" that admins can SD things that never have the potential to be an article (or part of one). I certainly understand a checks and balances system for admins, but I also think that we should make use of the SD a little more often, it adds more work to put things through VFD that will obviously never be kept. Is that ok with people? (WT-en) - Cacahuate 19:25, 21 February 2007 (EST)

SkiWelt
Keep (but MOS)It does look like a ski region with numerous resorts and 'pretty Tyrolean villages'. I guess it is a marketing name tied to the region but is it across one region or many? I notice a number of resorts with pages listed in Winter sports in Austria so, I guess, resorts are acceptable. In which case, a marketing name for a ski region should be acceptable too, especially if that name is better known than the region name.--(WT-en) Wandering 13:16, 8 January 2008 (EST)
 * Delete. Seems to be a resort of some sort. Is there a policy on stand-alone resorts that are not a part of a town?--(WT-en) Wandering 18:17, 4 January 2008 (EST)
 * Hmm, this one's tough. According to this, SkiWelt is enclosed by the Wilder Kaiser valley on one side and the Brixental on the other. One ski pass covers the 250km of pistes, over 90 cable cars and lifts and in excess of 70 mountain huts in which to take a break. ... The area includes the villages of Scheffau, Soll, Ellmau, Going and Itter on the Wilder Kasier side and the villages of Brixen, Hopfgarten, Westendorf and Kelchsau on the Brixental side. So is "SkiWelt" just a marketing name for the region, and thus best redirected to the region article...? (WT-en) Jpatokal 22:46, 4 January 2008 (EST)
