  • Delete. This is either an advertisement or a first-person account, neither of which meet the Project:What is an article criteria. I didn't speedy-delete it only because if it's a first person account then hopefully the contributor will see this and contribute to Siem Reap instead (but please read our Tour policy first). -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 02:47, 1 August 2010 (EDT)
  • Delete! My guess is it is an ad. IP address it was posted from is in Cambodia, which is odd for a traveller reporting now on a 2007 trip. (WT-en) Pashley 04:45, 1 August 2010 (EDT)
  • Also, it appears to be a copyvio. Identical text at . (WT-en) Pashley 04:51, 1 August 2010 (EDT)
    • Based on Pashley's info and the fact that this user hasn't returned I'd be fine with a speedy delete, unless anyone objects. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 09:17, 2 August 2010 (EDT)

  • Delete. Unused, poor quality image of the back-end of a Quantas jet.

Result: Deleted. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 01:56, 13 August 2010 (EDT)

  • Delete. Unused image of benches in the Sydney airport terminal. This is unused, and it's non-descript enough that adding it to the Sydney article wouldn't improve the article in any possible way. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 20:38, 30 July 2010 (EDT)

Result: Deleted. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 01:56, 13 August 2010 (EDT)

  • Delete. Unused and very blurry image of a rock on Tioman island. The image is of too poor quality to make it worthwhile to add it to that article. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 20:38, 30 July 2010 (EDT)

Result: Deleted. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 01:56, 13 August 2010 (EDT)

  • Delete. Blurry, unused thumbnail of a cafe(?). No indication of what article this could be added to, but the small size and poor quality make this a candidate for deletion rather than anything to add to an article. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 20:38, 30 July 2010 (EDT)

  • Delete. This broken redirect page points to a non-existant page. The only difference in name is capitalization. There are no links to this redirect page. (WT-en) Bill in STL 18:38, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
  • Keep. While we (surprisingly) don't yet seem to have an article for Voyageurs National Park, that is a valid destination so a redirect would be the preferred solution. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 22:46, 2 August 2010 (EDT)
  • Withdrawn. Page added for the park so this redirect now points to a real page. (WT-en) Bill in STL 23:51, 2 August 2010 (EDT)

Result: Redirected. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 11:32, 13 August 2010 (EDT)

  • Delete - The useful information has been merged to the Agra article. This article title doesn't meet the guidelines so a redirect is not useful. --(WT-en) Sebindi 10:47, 6 August 2010 (EDT)

  • Delete. Unused template that duplicates the functionality of Template:Geo. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 23:23, 3 August 2010 (EDT)
  • Not sure. The functionality is not duplicate at all; Template:Geo displays nothing on the screen and only creates RDF code. Template:Coordinates displays a box within the article that shows the coords and a link to Google Earth. Now, granted, we have no provision in our guidelines for such a feature, but someone at some point thought it might be a good idea. I think I might prefer we discuss whether or not we should make coordinate display more prominent; if we do, this template might be useful. (If we don't, then I would suggest redirecting this to Template:Geo as a useful alias, rather than deleting it.) (WT-en) LtPowers 08:04, 4 August 2010 (EDT)
  • Redirect - I don't think anybody (maybe except a few experts) have any use directly viewing the coordinates in an article. It will only clutter the guide. The information is great to use for other (yet to be developed?) features but the display of the numbers seems useless. Therefore redirect to the RDF-Template Template:Geo and lose this info box. --(WT-en) Sebindi 11:14, 6 August 2010 (EDT)

Result: Redirected. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 11:37, 13 August 2010 (EDT)

  • Weak keep. If the user who created this guide was not plastering his/her company URL all across our site I think this would be a clear keep - much of the information is pretty good - but the article should not be used as a promotional tool for any particular company. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 13:39, 13 June 2010 (EDT)

nominations for Turkish Airlines and LAN Airlines moved to separate nomination, per policy ((WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 12:50, 19 June 2010 (EDT))

Almost empty article, not really sure what to do with it, so I decided to place it here. I don't see any use for it, so I think deleting is the best option.

I have nothing against hiking, but these two articles are almost completely empty. --(WT-en) globe-trotter 17:40, 8 June 2010 (EDT)

  • Delete. If someone has something to say, they can create and article and say it, or possibly add it to the main article. Creating stubs for everywhere you can hike prior to information being available there doesn't add any value. This article was created by anon 18 months ago. This was their only edit, and they haven't added any content. --(WT-en) inas 18:59, 8 June 2010 (EDT)
  • Delete both since neither have received a substantial edit in over a year, and per policy stub itineraries get deleted after a year if they receive no further edits. As an aside, it is helpful to have one nomination per article (unless they are copies of one another) as it is awkward to potentially have to argue to keep one and delete another. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 12:42, 19 June 2010 (EDT)

A ghost town, population 544. The only thing to see is a handful of abandoned buildings. No place to stay. It hasn't appeared on official Texas highway maps since 1992, and even Google Maps can't find it properly.

  • Any further guidance on which of the two towns to redirect to? Barring further clarification, and based on a five minute search for this place using the Google, I'd lean towards a delete since I'm not sure that a redirect that may or may not be correct would actually be a good thing. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 23:21, 16 June 2010 (EDT)
Is that correct though? The first suggested redirect target, The Colony, is currently listed as being in Prairies and Lakes, not Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. My concern is that normally we create a redirect as an aid to the traveler, but in this case I'm not sure if 1) we're redirecting to the right place and 2) this redirect would be of any value at all. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 12:14, 1 July 2010 (EDT)
Well, look for yourself. It is not true that Google Maps cannot find it properly, it is here with Frisco to the East and The Colony to the South. And seems to be in the Megaplex when looking there. --(WT-en) globe-trotter 09:07, 2 July 2010 (EDT)
Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but when I search via Google maps I get a location that's midway between Houston and San Antonio: . In either case, if a redirect to Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex makes the most sense then I don't object. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 14:53, 2 July 2010 (EDT)
Redirect The Hackberry that Google Earth directed me to is adjacent to Frisco. Hackberry the ghost town is located in Lavaca County, which is between Houston & San Antonio. Since the former seems to just be a few housing developments in a suburb, I'd say the ghost town is more interesting and this should be a redirect to the sub-region Post Oak Savannah.

  • Delete. Per the article talk page this was nominated for VFD back in 2004 and kept because, per Evan, "It's a side-effect of making queries, and mostly harmless". With the current version of the software I don't think that's true any longer, so this page should be able to go away. -- (WT-en) Ryan • (talk) • 11:12, 8 August 2010 (EDT)

  • Speedy delete. This article was created to promote a specific travel agency, which goes against our Tour and Project:Don't tout policies.
