Talk:Burnaby

Deletion

Hi, I deleted the review pasted below as I could not find any info on it, nor an address:

• Seed Mexican Casa Located on Ranelagh Street, just off Hastings (Capital Hill, Burnaby Heights) offers the finest in Mexican Cuisine. Everything from taquitos to Chiles Rillenos. Great atmosphere with live band occasionaly.

Thanks. --(WT-en) MarinaK 15:08, 15 October 2008 (EDT)MarinaK.

A few observations and points. I didn't mess with this stuff on the page but:

• I feel its a really bad idea to provide specific transit information inside the wiki. Its too much work to keep it current and updated when bus routes change or fares increase. I would strongly recommend just sending people to the Translink website for current fare information.
• Why are we eating up real estate with restaurants? That's what Yelp is for. People can find their own dining places and can search online reviews. I think there's more value in helping people see why they might visit Burnaby than listing the restaurants.
• Air BnB regulations are changing rapidly and are handled by each city individually. This is one area where I think we can help by directing people to the current status of Air BnB bylaws. Eg, Vancouver is in the process of shutting them down, but Burnaby is not currently regulating them (at April 2018). This could drive people to stay in Burnaby instead of Vancouver.

What you're suggesting is a thorough restructuring of Wikivoyage article templates and even our areas of coverage. That shouldn't be discussed on the talk page for one city article. I think Wikivoyage talk:Listings is probably the most relevant place to bring up these arguments, or you could try the Travellers' pub. But when you bring up Yelp, it's useful but unreliable, as Yelp has been proven to mess with stuff for profit. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:14, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
