Talk:Tetonia

There really doesn't seem to be anything here beyond the one hotel. I think this article fails wv:wiaa. It should be merged and redirected to Rexburg, 39 miles away, so that the hotel listing is more easily found. Ground Zero (talk) 17:50, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- There is more there than one hotel. I would refer you to w:Tetonia and these three pages on Tripadvisor.
- If we do decide to redirect this article, I think we should start an article for Driggs and redirect this there. See Tripadvisor:Driggs and w:Driggs, Idaho, and note this: Things to Do in Driggs. It appears that all 24 are actually in Driggs. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:44, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- So there is a shop, a café, and a rental holiday home listed on VRBO. We don't usually list rental holiday homes. I think that the listings for the hotel, shop and cafe would be more useful in and article for a nearby town because not every village deserves an article.
- wv:wiaa says, in part, "Some small villages and hamlets may be best handled by merging and redirecting, consolidating listings to the article for a nearby town or combining several villages." I think this applies here. Ground Zero (talk) 20:52, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- We list holiday homes if they are available for a week or less and normal for a given area. But I'm not objecting to redirection; I'm saying if we do that, we should start an article for Driggs and merge this there. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:56, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Of course I checked the Wikipedia article. That is how I have been able to expand scores of stub articles over the past few months. But I only adapt information that is relevant to travel. I don't think that the Tetonia article's extensive demographics section is relevant, and the little bit of history isn't very interesting.
- I looked at the VRBO listing and cannot confirm that the requirements of Wv:apt (especially #3) can be met for this house.
- I have no objection to merging this to a Driggs article if one is created. But if it isn't, I think this is more useful for travellers if it is redirected to Rexburg than being left as it is. Ground Zero (talk) 21:13, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- I'll start an article for Driggs. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:35, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
- Driggs is now usable. Thanks for making that article :) SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 22:00, 30 October 2021 (UTC)

- Support the proposal to redirect to the Driggs article that Ikan Kekek created. Ground Zero (talk) 22:05, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
- Indeed. This is all set up to redirect; the one listing just needs to be detouted. I'm not done adding info in the Driggs article. It seems like a great place to visit. However, I'm taking a break from working on it for now, so if anyone else would like to add more listings or information, please do. Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:21, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
- I'll try adding more eat and sleep listings to it. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 00:13, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
