  • Delete, with any useful content merged into the article for the nearest town (which is what?). As stated at the beginning of the article: "Kaesimsa is a temple in North Korea." There shouldn't be Wikivoyage articles for individual temples. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 02:31, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Delete and merge to Chilbosan mountains I guess. (WT-en) Jjtk 03:49, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Is a mountain worthy of its own article? Perhaps the scant content in both Kaesimsa and Chilbosan would be better employed in trying to make Donghae Coast into an article worth reading. It doesn't look like North Korea has sufficient content to make several layers of district articles. (WT-en) Travelpleb 08:27, 19 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Merge & redirect since it is a possible search term. 21:19, 21 June 2012 (EDT)

Result: Redirected to Chilbosan –sumone10154(talk) 22:44, 8 September 2012 (CEST)

Result: Redirected to South Chotanagpur –sumone10154(talk) 22:51, 8 September 2012 (CEST)


  • Delete - Much of the information was taken from Hawiyat Najm Park. And we don't create articles about specific sights. As the thumb rule goes, you cannot sleep in this sinkhole. (WT-en) JamesA >talk 04:26, 12 June 2012 (EDT)
The information was copied word-for-word from the aforementioned article, so there's not really any info to merge. (WT-en) JamesA >talk 10:15, 12 June 2012 (EDT)
OK, then just redirect. (WT-en) Pashley 22:08, 12 June 2012 (EDT)
  • Delete Article was created with copied content. There is no content at the target of the redirect. Restore the status quo, here. --(WT-en) Inas 18:43, 15 June 2012 (EDT)

Result: Redirected to Northern Oman –sumone10154(talk) 22:59, 8 September 2012 (CEST)

  • Delete - About a specific beach/sight, rather than a destination where you can sleep (town, national park, region, etc) (WT-en) JamesA >talk 04:26, 12 June 2012 (EDT)

Result: Redirected to Northern Oman –sumone10154(talk) 22:59, 8 September 2012 (CEST)

A body of water, or geographical feature, depending on how you look at it. Either way, it doesn't merit its own article.

  • Delete - (WT-en) texugo 19:01, 21 June 2012 (EDT)
  • Comment — This is a Wikipedia copy-paste job, so a speedy delete/redirect would be fine. I'm not sure whether this would merit its own article, though, in theory. It sounds like there is a village there at which you could stay, and that it is a commonly understood tourist destination, with springs, caves, etc. --(WT-en) Peter Talk 16:23, 18 July 2012 (EDT)

Result: Redirected to Northern Oman –sumone10154(talk) 22:59, 8 September 2012 (CEST)

  • Speedy delete - We're not part of IB anymore. –sumone10154(talk) 00:05, 9 September 2012 (CEST)

Outcome: Speedy deleted. --Peterfitzgerald (talk) 00:41, 9 September 2012 (CEST)

  • Delete. It means South Korea in Dutch, but not sure if a redirect makes any sense? --Globe-trotter (talk) 15:51, 10 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Speedy deleted. Redirects to versions in other languages are done seldom with specific names. Jc8136 (talk) 16:17, 10 September 2012 (CEST)


  • Delete - No content. Refers to the Cham people of Cambodia, not the article we have on Cham, Germany. –sumone10154(talk) 23:42, 9 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete. There is nothing to redirect it to. --Globe-trotter (talk) 16:07, 10 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - Irrelevant, and no opportunity for redirect. JamesA >talk 09:09, 13 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Outcome: Speedy deleted. --Peter Talk 19:00, 13 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - No content. We have an article on space. –sumone10154(talk) 02:48, 10 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete. Article doesn't make any sense. --Globe-trotter (talk) 16:06, 10 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete Doesn't make sense. Jc8136 (talk) 17:02, 10 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - No idea why this was created. Space serves the purpose. JamesA >talk 09:09, 13 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Speedy redirected to Space. It's a (borderline) place, and redirects are cheaper than deletes. --Peter Talk 18:58, 13 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - Not a destination. –sumone10154(talk) 16:56, 10 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - Doesn't fit in with the wiki's scope. JamesA >talk 09:09, 13 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Outcome: Speedy deleted. --Peter Talk 19:00, 13 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - "la" is the code for latin, not lao, which we already have a template for. –sumone10154(talk) 20:17, 20 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Outcome: Speedy deleted. JamesA >talk 16:22, 26 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - Unused and not an actual babel userbox. –sumone10154(talk) 20:21, 20 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Outcome: Speedy deleted. JamesA >talk 16:22, 26 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - We don't use userboxes except for Babel. –sumone10154(talk) 20:23, 20 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Outcome: Speedy deleted. JamesA >talk 16:22, 26 September 2012 (CEST)

There is no such sight. --Saqib (talk) 17:13, 24 September 2012 (CEST)

  • Delete. From the article: "Longqingxia[...]now is the [Beijing] city reservoir." We don't do articles on bodies of water. (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 05:22, 18 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Weak Keep.  : I don't think the body of water rule applies. The main decision here is whether it is an attraction or a destination. It seems to be too far from Beijing to be part of that article, and you can camp there. I'll defer to the opinion of someone more familiar with the area, however. --(WT-en) Inas 05:53, 18 April 2012 (EDT)
Why wouldn't the body of water rule apply? (WT-en) Ikan Kekek 10:14, 18 April 2012 (EDT)
As with most of these discussions, the article isn't just about the body of water, but it is about the region about it, where you can walk, shop, camp, etc.
My observation, after having many discussions on deletion based on the 'body of water' rule, it rarely informs us whether to keep or delete. A article on a mountain is just as likely to be on the hit list as a lake. The question is whether it constitutes a region to be visited, and if so whether that region fits, or if the information should be included elsewhere. --(WT-en) Inas 00:35, 19 April 2012 (EDT)
I think it is a merge & redirect candidate. Merge because it seems to have some info worth keeping. Redirect because it is a possible seach term and because policy is to redirect rather than deleting where possible.
It would be be worth keeping only if it fit well into the Beijing district hierarchy, which I do not think it does. (WT-en) Pashley 03:42, 19 April 2012 (EDT)
Seems to be in Yanqing County, therefore it would make sense to include in information in Beijing/Rural Beijing? --(WT-en) Inas 00:24, 20 April 2012 (EDT)

Result: Merge with Beijing/Rural Beijing. --Globe-trotter (talk) 16:57, 26 September 2012 (CEST)

  • Delete This page has almost no content. Can be added to the region page which itself could use extra content. (WT-en) Cheyenne 00:32, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Redirect to Lofoten. The name could could be a valid search term.(WT-en) Travelpleb 03:03, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Keep. --(WT-en) Inas 20:46, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
  • Keep. It's a valid destination article. --Globe-trotter (talk) 16:10, 10 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Keep - An outline is better than nothing. –sumone10154(talk) 16:43, 10 September 2012 (CEST)

Result: Kept. --Globe-trotter (talk) 16:57, 26 September 2012 (CEST)

  • Delete This page has almost no content. Can be added to the region page which itself could use extra content. (WT-en) Cheyenne 01:47, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Redirect as above. (WT-en) Travelpleb 03:31, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
  • Keep --(WT-en) Inas 20:46, 1 May 2012 (EDT)
  • Keep. It's a valid destination article. --Globe-trotter (talk) 16:08, 10 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Keep - An outline is better than nothing. It also has content in the introduction. –sumone10154(talk) 16:43, 10 September 2012 (CEST)

Result: Kept. --Globe-trotter (talk) 16:57, 26 September 2012 (CEST)

An encyclopedic article. --Saqib (talk) 19:56, 26 September 2012 (CEST)

  • Keep. While this is (almost?) completely copied from Wikipedia, it seems to be a legitimate destination, in which case the article needs a re-write as a travel guide (and a template) rather than getting deleted. Vidimian (talk) 20:24, 26 September 2012 (CEST)
Withdraw my nomination. I learnt that articles of legitimate destinations are not meant for deletion. --Saqib (talk) 21:04, 26 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Keep. Valid article. I have removed the copy-pasted content and added an article template. --Globe-trotter (talk) 20:44, 26 September 2012 (CEST)
Then please archive this (now) redundant nomination to prevent confusion --W. Franke-mailtalk 13:55, 30 September 2012 (CEST)

Result: Kept - JamesA >talk 13:59, 30 September 2012 (CEST)

  • Delete. Hasn't been edited for over a year. Also, the A1GP racing series does not exist anymore. --Globe-trotter (talk) 04:26, 16 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete per Globe-trotter --W. Franke-mailtalk 01:32, 22 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete. Defunct, and nowhere to merge. --Peter Talk 19:31, 29 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete - No longer relevant or useful. JamesA >talk 14:04, 30 September 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete per above comments. --Saqib (talk) 14:25, 30 September 2012 (CEST)

Result: Deleted.
