Articles about individual hills around Jerusalem

Hi. I just posted a merge tag on Mount of Olives. All the other individual mountains' articles are going to get merge tags, too, preparatory to turning them into redirects to Jerusalem, after useful information has been merged into the article. The Hebrew-language Wikivoyage may have different standards for what gets an article, but it is my opinion that if the Taj Mahal doesn't (and shouldn't) get an article here, neither does (or should) Mount Scopus. Please read what is an article for guidelines, but the basic policy is that individual attractions, unless they've extremely important and large/complex (e.g., Angkor Wat, Disneyworld) don't get their own article, but are covered in destination articles for the city they are in or closest to. Parks that are distant from cities can get their own article, but parks within cities usually don't (exception: Central Park, as a district of New York City).

Also, as a subsidiary point, please read the external links policy. No article should have an "external links" section, regardless of the subtitle used for the section. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:04, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Another subsidiary point: Galleries are frowned upon here. It is best to use fewer larger thumbnails than a bunch of little gallery pictures. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:13, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
