Talk:Trekking in Vietnam

VfD Discussion (result: kept with a tentative proposal to revisit the issue later)

Created by a drive-by editor and not much edited since. Currently rated as a stub. Hobbitschuster (talk) 11:34, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

• Keep - the article was was created two weeks ago, and I don't think that is a stub. I provides a decent narrative of different places to hike in Vietnam. While it lacks practical information on how to get to these places, it is an otherwise useful article. Ground Zero (talk) 11:43, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
• Merge and Redirect - while it must have some parts and bits worth keeping, this article, as is, looks redundant and touty. Ibaman (talk) 13:48, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
  • Merge to what? Redundant to which article? Ground Zero (talk) 17:06, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
• Keep per Ground Zero's rationale. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 15:08, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
• Wait for a couple of months to see if the article develops. If there are no significant additions, then delete. The article is essentially a cut and paste from a set of city articles - compare the first para with Ha Giang or the last para with Cat Tien National Park, and so there doesn't look to be any reason to merge and redirect.

• Keep as per Ground Zero Chetsford (talk) 05:00, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
• Keep as per Ground Zero's rationale. Although it needs a template. --Robkelk (talk) 23:52, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Since it looks like we're keeping it, I've added an intro, links to other articles, and copyedited a bit. Some attention from other editors would help bring it up to snuff. Ground Zero (talk) 00:36, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Status

What exactly makes this an outline rather than a stub? Hobbitschuster (talk) 16:05, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

According to Wikivoyage:Travel topic status, an Outline: "Has at least an introduction (this can be as short as a single sentence explaining what the topic is) and an outline of headers laid out for the article, similar to standard Wikivoyage destination templates. Some of the sections of the outline may have content, but not all of them." The question would be whether you consider the listings to be headers. I guess that literally speaking, this wouldn't be an Outline. But what do you think has to be added? Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:41, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

Well the article doesn't really do a good job having any sections or outlining where it wants to go... Some of those issues were raised in the vfd... Hobbitschuster (talk) 12:22, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

If you want to downgrade it to a stub on that basis, go ahead. I don't care either way. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:26, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

I have added a couple sections and made a few other minor changes (and added a picture), so I think it's now clearly at outline status. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 00:33, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

The promised but never occurred revision

If you look at the VfD above, the consensus was to revisit the issue later. Well, quite some time has passed. Is this article going anywhere? Hobbitschuster (talk) 16:16, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

I still think it should be kept; it's a lot better than many travel topic articles. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 16:53, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
