Region?[edit]

Is this a region or an itinerary? If it's a region, is it an extraregion, or should it be added to Ireland#Regions? If it should be added to Ireland#Regions, there needs to be a discussion at Talk:Ireland and we need a consensus to proceed. I would solicit User:ODriscollOClock's input, as s/he started this article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:33, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware of the extraregion option, which seems most approriate. It's a tourism region, like California's Wine Country, for example. I've swapped the template tag. ODriscollOClock (talk) 15:25, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Great. Thank you. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:12, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Marketing campaign?[edit]

Swept in from the pub

An editor here has created an entry for a marketing campaign, Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands. This isn't a standard regional grouping, but a promotional one. Is that OK? --Calton (talk) 02:37, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A marketing campaign is exactly what this is, enabling the small places along the Shannon to be promoted under a common brand. That's all it is and I'll add an explainer to the relevant county pages (as done for Co Leitrim and Co Roscommon). But the page is hollow and eventually should redirect into one of these (Co Longford perhaps) but only once the likely target pages are usable standard.
"Wild Atlantic Way" is similar but makes sense as an itinerary, and that page is a-building.
"Ireland's Ancient East" covers almost all the eastern half of the country, a ramshackle expanse, please let's not create a page.
"Dublin Surprising by Nature" is the fourth, to try to draw the hordes out of the rut between the Guinness Brewery and Temple Bar. Which our Dublin city and county pages already do. Grahamsands (talk) 22:27, 20 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
