After the intro, which is verbatim copypasta from w:Ahvaz County, the entire remainder of the article is verbatim copypasta from Ahvaz. Therefore, there is nothing to merge. Nor, in my opinion, is it at all useful to travelers to have an article about this county. We have too little coverage of actual content in articles about Iran to merit any further regional divisions of the country on this site, at this time.

I'd propose a speedy delete, but I'd like to get a consensus for a speedy, since a merge tag was inserted into the article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:34, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

hello Ikan Kekek , for why delete, i can edit this article , i now edit first day in en.Wikivoyage , this is your wellcome? thanks Florence (talk) 15:20, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get testy, Florence. Anyone is welcome to edit on Wikivoyage in accordance with the policies of our site, but copyright violations are a very serious matter here.
As for the article, redirect to Khuzestan per our policy on real places.

Actually, Wikivoyage:Deletion policy#Deleting vs. redirecting does not draw any distinction between destination and region articles when it comes to our preference to redirect real places. In addition, Ahvaz County is a likely search term and leaving a redirect does no harm. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 19:56, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Florence, we understand that these are real regions and real cities with the same name. This is common in many countries. The point is that we only make articles for sub-regions if we have enough unique information to fill them with. If not, we just mention the name of the subregion in the article about the "parent"-region. So normally, we would say please help us develop the article about the "parent-region" and the important cities first. If the information becomes too much for 1 article, we can create separate entries for subregions. Hope that clarifies. JuliasTravels (talk) 21:56, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

̈ Redirect - The parent region only has 6 articles, period, so we are very far from needing to insert an addition hierarchical layer of county subdivisions. Texugo (talk) 22:01, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect, I think to Ahvaz. Rather similar problems have come up elsewhere; see Talk:China#Merge_districts_and_prefecture_cities.3F and Talk:Fuzhou for examples. Pashley (talk) 03:01, 14 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Redirected to Khuzestan. --Saqib (talk) 11:17, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article has several better photos of the castle anyway and there is nothing in the sign photo that particularly needs to be shown. Pashley (talk) 22:17, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Commons has 132 pictures of the castle, and all the photo gives us is out of date prices for the castle. AlasdairW (talk) 22:26, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. Strictly speaking, this doesn't need to be VfD'd. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 22:47, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Deleted. --Saqib (talk) 11:17, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please speedy delete this page. It is my mistake.--GZWDer (talk) 13:38, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Speedily deleted. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 13:53, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Useless for a travel guide. IonutBizau (talk) 07:21, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly uncredited copypasta from Wikipedia. If it's worth having a Wikivoyage article about this "settlement," this article should be deleted, and an article without copypasta and with a proper Wikivoyage article template and tone should be created.

Support delete --Andrewssi2 (talk) 11:08, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Policy has always been to redirect real places. I see no reason that this should be an exception. Pashley (talk) 12:08, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I was thinking of Redirect in fact when I said delete, sorry. OK, I'll redirect. IonutBizau (talk) 12:17, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Redirected to Crişana. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 23:06, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
