Wikivoyage:Votes for deletion

Votes for deletion Shortcuts: WV:VFD vfd This page lists articles, files and templates that are nominated for deletion. Any Wikivoyager can make a nomination or comment on any nomination. Nominations or comments should follow a rationale based on our deletion policy. If our deletion policy leads towards a merge or redirect, then coordinate this on the discussion page of the article. The purpose of this page is limited to the interpretation and application of our deletion policy. You can discuss what our deletion policies should be on the deletion policy discussion page. Nominating Add a {{vfd}} tag to the top of the article, file or template being proposed for deletion, so that people viewing it will be aware. Place the tag at the very top, before everything else, except the page banner. Do note though, if you're tagging a template for deletion, use <noinclude>{{vfd}}</noinclude> instead of {{vfd}} alone. Add a link to the article, file or template at the end of the list below, along with the reason why it is being listed for deletion. Sign your recommendation using four tildes ("~~~~"). If you're nominating a file for deletion, make sure it's actually hosted on the English Wikivoyage and not on Wikimedia Commons. The basic format for a deletion nomination is: ===[[Chicken]]=== Not a valid travel article topic. ~~~~ Commenting All Wikivoyagers are invited to comment on articles, files or templates listed for deletion. The format for comments is: ===[[Chicken]]=== * '''Delete'''. Not a valid travel article topic. TravelNut 25:25, 31 Feb 2525 (UTC) * '''Keep'''. There is a town in [[Alaska]] called Chicken. ~~~~ When leaving comments you may elect to delete, keep, or redirect the article. If you recommend redirection, you may suggest where it should be redirected to. Any attempt to merge content from an article to some other destination must retain the edit history to comply with the attribution (CC BY-SA) requirements of the free license, so it may be possible to merge and redirect but not to merge and delete. Sign your comment using four tildes ("~~~~"). Deleting, or not If, after 14 days of discussion, the consensus is to delete, an administrator may delete it. If, after 14 days of discussion, the consensus is to redirect or merge, any Wikivoyager may do it. If you make a redirect, please check for any resulting broken redirects or double redirects. If, after 14 days of discussion, the consensus is to keep, any Wikivoyager may remove any VFD notices from that page, and archive the deletion discussion. If there is no consensus after 14 days, allow a further 7 days for discussion. If, after the additional 7 days, there is no consensus, the page should be kept – any Wikivoyager may remove any VFD notices from that page, and archive the deletion discussion. If, after the additional 7 days, there is a consensus, implement it in line with the first three points above. When deleting an article, check "What links here". Either remove the newly-broken links from the articles or point them somewhere else. Inbound redirects to a deleted page should either be deleted or redirected elsewhere. When deleting a template, either replace it wherever it's been transcluded, especially if it served a formatting function. You can do this by adding "subst:" before the template name (especially if the use is in article space, you may then want to clean away unnecessary HTML or CSS code, which would make the wikitext confusing). Once that's done, you can delete the template without affecting individual uses of it. Otherwise, remove the template from all pages that use the template. However, do not delete the template first – this breaks links and will cause a swathe of red links, requiring a lot of cleanups. Archiving After you keep/redirect/merge/delete the article, file or template, move the deletion discussion to the Archives page for the appropriate month. The root archives page has a directory. Note that it's the month in which the action was taken, rather than when the nomination was first posted, that should be used for the archived discussion; that way, recourse to the deletion log can lead subsequent readers right to the discussion (at least for the pages that were deleted). When archiving, always make it clear to other editors what the outcome of the discussion was. First, describe the outcome in the edit summary when you remove the discussion, with something like "archive as kept". Then add a line for the result to the discussion on the archive page. If the nominated article, file or template was not deleted, then the nomination should be mentioned on its talk page. Generally this is done by providing a link to the deletion discussion on the talk page. One should also indicate the result on the talk page. If the discussion is short, an alternative is to place an (identical duplicate) copy of the discussion on the talk page.

Plage de grande anse

Similar case as #Etang-Salé above with no integration whatsoever. Furthermore, individual beaches don't get their own articles per WV:WIAA; unsure whether to redirect or delete, but I'm leaning towards delete since a) the content is barely salvageable; and b) it's not even capitalised properly. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 00:18, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:18, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
• Delete per SHB2000. Ground Zero (talk) 07:57, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
• Rename & Redirect This one had some absolutely breathtaking photos on Commons and I didn't know Réunion even existed before this Vfd, so since it taught me something new, I didn't have the heart to let it's sandy little head lay on the chopping block. It seems to be that the most productive course of action is to rename the page to Petite-Île without leaving a redirect to the current name. However in the spirit of honoring the work of the original author, I think a redirect should be made for Grande Anse Beach (or Bay, if the preference here goes to naming pages for geographical features over attractions) to Petite-Île. I know my little bit of tinkering left it far from ship-shape and Bristol fashion, but I was mindful to address the stated concerns of the nomination. I do believe it is now integrated, has a page banner and as in the previous case, another grain of sand in the oyster for a future editor. — 🐈ℛogueScholar🗨₨Talk (My recent mischief) 14:05, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
• Rename It would make a decent start for a Petite-Île article. Pashley (talk) 16:46, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

  I'm fine with that, but someone has to fix the format and style, so that it's a Wikivoyage article and not an irregular stub. Unless someone does or at least says they plan to do it, it should be deleted. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:24, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Karakalpak phrasebook

At this point it resembles more akin to an unreferenced simplewiki article that has been lying abandoned for almost a month. Nothing I see is salvageable and it would be easier for a newbie to start an article from scratch than work with this. --SHB2000 (t | c | m) 23:19, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
