Nathu La

Does not appear to be anything more than a mountain pass, which shouldn't get its own article. (WT-en) Texugo 02:13, 8 December 2008 (EST)

This is an interesting one. I'm not sure what to do with it, but this makes for interesting reading. --(WT-en) Peter ^Talk 02:35, 8 December 2008 (EST)

How about making it a disambiguation page, noting to check out Gangtok#Go next if traveling from India to China, and then whatever Chinese town you come from to get there if crossing into India – (WT-en) cacahuate ^talk 04:00, 8 December 2008 (EST)

• Redirect to Gangtok. This is an attraction (of sorts...), not a destination, and it is the next step along the slippery slope down which we started with Panmunjeom. However, it's also high profile (like Panmunjeom), so having it accessible via search benefits the traveler, so redirect rather than delete. -- (WT-en) Bill-on-the-Hill 13:04, 8 December 2008 (EST)

Actually that's better, I forgot that it's not open to tourists for crossing, it's only for import/export purposes, so indeed, an attraction, but can't cross there – (WT-en) cacahuate ^talk 00:03, 9 December 2008 (EST)

Yes, redirect. We actually have a few articles on passes including some I started: Khyber Pass, Khunjerab Pass (a redirect) Bolan Pass (deleted once, but someone re-created it), and several I had nothing to do with: Hamta Pass, Salang Pass, Snoqualmie Pass, Crowsnest Pass, Three Pagodas Pass. I'd say any well-known pass is a possible search term. A few, like the Kyhber, might qualify as regions. The others should all be redirects. (WT-en) Pashley 07:05, 9 December 2008 (EST)
