Talk:Ganja Region

Orphaned cities

The following are city articles with no content, but that fall in this region and are orphaned:

• Agdash
• Agstafa
• Barda
• Daskashan
• Gadabay
• Goranboy
• Khanlar
• Samukh

If content does develop for these and the more important destinations within this article, we may want to subdivide the region. --(WT-en) Peterfitzgerald ^Talk 16:16, 3 June 2007 (EDT)

I wish I could help, but unfortunately, I don't know too much about Azerbaijan. Roovinn (talk) 04:58, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

@Ikan Kekek: I have readded four of the removed towns again, because they have enough information with them to be useful for travellers. I believe it doesn't make sense to only mention places that have their own article, that would remove a lot of content from WV. Also, I am not aware of a policy that would remove such information, unless it is a listing without any information attached to it.

I understand that the red can be annoying but that is only the presentation on the website, not in OsmAnd for example. Also, the argument in the past was that this would potentially attract editors willing to create new articles. This wouldn't happen if the information wasn't there in the first place.

Either way, it is probably better to just use the wikidata id anyways, the rest is done automatically.
