Wikivoyage:Votes for deletion Voyage Tips and guide

You can check the original Wikivoyage article Here
Votes for deletion

    This page lists articles, files and templates that are nominated for deletion. Any Wikivoyager can make a nomination or comment on any nomination. Nominations or comments should follow a rationale based on our deletion policy.

    If our deletion policy leads towards a merge or redirect, then coordinate this on the discussion page of the article.

    The purpose of this page is limited to the interpretation and application of our deletion policy. You can discuss what our deletion policies should be on the deletion policy discussion page.

    Nominating

    [edit]

    Add a {{vfd}} tag to the top of the article, file or template being proposed for deletion, so that people viewing it will be aware. Place the tag at the very top, before everything else, except the page banner. Do note though, if you're tagging a template for deletion, use <noinclude>{{vfd}}</noinclude> instead of {{vfd}} alone.

    Add a link to the article, file or template at the end of the list below, along with the reason why it is being listed for deletion. Sign your recommendation using four tildes ("~~~~").

    If you're nominating a file for deletion, make sure it's actually hosted on the English Wikivoyage and not on Wikimedia Commons.

    The basic format for a deletion nomination is: 

    ===[[Chicken]]===
Not a valid travel article topic. ~~~~

    Commenting

    [edit]

    All Wikivoyagers are invited to comment on articles, files or templates listed for deletion. The format for comments is: 

    ===[[Chicken]]===
* '''Delete'''. Not a valid travel article topic. TravelNut 25:25, 31 Feb 2525 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. There is a town in [[Alaska]] called Chicken. ~~~~

    When leaving comments you may elect to delete, keep, or redirect the article. If you recommend redirection, you may suggest where it should be redirected to. Any attempt to merge content from an article to some other destination must retain the edit history to comply with the attribution (CC BY-SA) requirements of the free license, so it may be possible to merge and redirect but not to merge and delete. Sign your comment using four tildes ("~~~~").

    Deleting, or not

    [edit]
    • If, after 14 days of discussion, the consensus is to delete, an administrator may delete it.
    • If, after 14 days of discussion, the consensus is to redirect or merge, any Wikivoyager may do it. If you make a redirect, please check for any resulting broken redirects or double redirects.
    • If, after 14 days of discussion, the consensus is to keep, any Wikivoyager may remove any VFD notices from that page, and archive the deletion discussion.
    • If there is no consensus after 14 days, allow a further 7 days for discussion.
      • If, after the additional 7 days, there is no consensus, the page should be kept – any Wikivoyager may remove any VFD notices from that page, and archive the deletion discussion.
      • If, after the additional 7 days, there is a consensus, implement it in line with the first three points above.
    • When deleting an article, check "What links here". Either remove the newly-broken links from the articles or point them somewhere else. Inbound redirects to a deleted page should either be deleted or redirected elsewhere.
    • When deleting a template, either replace it wherever it's been transcluded, especially if it served a formatting function. You can do this by adding "subst:" before the template name (especially if the use is in article space, you may then want to clean away unnecessary HTML or CSS code, which would make the wikitext confusing). Once that's done, you can delete the template without affecting individual uses of it. Otherwise, remove the template from all pages that use the template. However, do not delete the template first – this breaks links and will cause a swathe of red links, requiring a lot of cleanups.

    Archiving

    [edit]

    After you keep/redirect/merge/delete the article, file or template, move the deletion discussion to the Archives page for the appropriate month. The root archives page has a directory. Note that it's the month in which the action was taken, rather than when the nomination was first posted, that should be used for the archived discussion; that way, recourse to the deletion log can lead subsequent readers right to the discussion (at least for the pages that were deleted).

    When archiving, always make it clear to other editors what the outcome of the discussion was. First, describe the outcome in the edit summary when you remove the discussion, with something like "archive as kept". Then add a line for the result to the discussion on the archive page.

    If the nominated article, file or template was not deleted, then the nomination should be mentioned on its talk page. Generally this is done by providing a link to the deletion discussion on the talk page. One should also indicate the result on the talk page. If the discussion is short, an alternative is to place an (identical duplicate) copy of the discussion on the talk page.

    Yili Health Valley

    [edit]

    Industrial parks aren't covered on Wikivoyage per WV:WIAA, queries on the talk page have gone unanswered for almost 2 weeks. --SHB (t | c | m) 02:45, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

    I disagree. If people see redirects from malls and industrial parks, they will create more. If content exists on a mall or industrial park within an article, a search will find it without a redirect. Ground Zero (talk) 09:57, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
    We can deal with these when they come up, but if any content is taken from an article, it has to be redirected in order to keep the article's history. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:29, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
    I did create a redlink for Industry in San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles. It should probably be mentioned in the article of some adjacent location instead of having its own article – I suppose mentioning it in bold in the one-liner of that other location, or as a subbullet, would otherwise be ideal, but its name makes it very difficult to find by a search if it doesn't have a page of its own (a redirect or perhaps just a disambig). As I don't know the place, I did't do anything myself, other than changing a bullet just name-dropping it into a proper listing with redlink and one-liner based on Wikipedia. –LPfi (talk) 10:24, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
    • Either keep or turn it into a listing & redirect. It is a real place, apparently there are tours available, & we have someone who wants to write about it. I cannot see it being much of a draw for the typical tourist, but it might be of considerable interest to people in the dairy industry. Even if the article is actually pretty much useless, keeping it does no harm. Pashley (talk) 19:08, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
      Your evidence that there is someone who will actually write anything travel-related about it? What in the stub article says "listing" to you? Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:27, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
      I was going to say what Ikan said, but Ikan beat me to it – what about it makes it that "keeping it does no harm"? --SHB (t | c | m) 21:28, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
      Actually, I just checked, and there is now some actual content in the stub, so I do think this can be merged and redirected to Hohhot. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:36, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
      I would note that Yili Health Valley is also a station on the local metro line. That's, to me, another argument in favor of a redirect rather than deletion. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 21:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
      Oh, yes, but in large-area prefectural-level cities like Hohhot, people usually think about the central city, not the surrounding area that is also part of the city proper. And since Yili Health Valley is part of Tumed Left Banner, which is a banner, not a district of the urban area, people will think it is not part of Hohhot. So they will not go to the Hohhot page. I say we keep it as it was. CrunchLabs (talk) 13:54, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
    If we put the information in a listing & create a redirect from this article title to that listing, then anyone searching for "Yili .." or following a link to it will find the listing. Pashley (talk) 14:14, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
    And it is a listing. It isn't a city, a park, or an attraction that's so overwhelmingly complex like Angkor Wat that it couldn't possibly function as a listing. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
    • It looks like this could be a listing in Hohhot, but at the moment we are missing the actual visitor information. Is Yili Intelligent Manufacturing Experience Center open to visitors who turn up at the door (or are bookings required), when is it open, what does it cost, where is it (lat/long), are there tours in English etc? Such a large dairy factory could be of interest to visit, if really welcomes foreign visitors. The rest of the valley (ecological park etc) could probably be covered in a sentence in the Experience Centre listing. AlasdairW (talk) 21:36, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
      It can be listed if it merely welcomes domestic visitors, too, however frustrating that might be to some foreigner. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:37, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
