Nominating

The basic format for a deletion nomination is the following: 

===[[Chicken]]===
* Delete.  Not a valid travel article topic. ~~~~

Please follow these steps when nominating an article or image for deletion:

  1. First read the deletion policy and verify that the article or image really is a candidate for deletion.
  2. If the article or image meets the deletion criteria, do any preparatory work (like orphaning an image, or combining the article with one it duplicates) prior to listing it here.
  3. For the article or image being proposed for deletion, add a {{vfd}} tag to the top of the article so that people viewing the article will know that it is proposed for deletion.
  4. Add a link to the article or image at the end of the list below, along with the reason why it is being listed for deletion. Sign your vote using four tildes ("~~~~"). List one article or image per entry.

shared:Image:Redirect arrow without text.png

  • Delete. Copied from Wikipedia but because they are licenced under GNU are incompatable with CC-by-SA. -- Huttite 18:59, 5 Jan 2006 (EST)
    • I don't get an option to delete this one. -- Ryan 14:44, 31 Jan 2006 (EST)
      • It's not clear to me that vfd on en: should be enough to delete a file on shared:. I'm not sure where this came from or what it's for, though. --Evan 12:22, 5 April 2006 (EDT)
        • This brings up the question of how things get vfd'ed on shared. Since that's the preferred way to upload non-language-specific images (which should be most of them, I think), it seems like that'll come up more often. (Of course, most people who bother to upload to shared know about other policies...) -- Jonboy 09:56, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

April 2006

Baile 1 Mai

Not a destination; candidate for speedy delete. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 14:51, 7 April 2006 (EDT)

Uh, why isn't it? It seems to be a hot springs area in Romania, though I can't find that much on it... Majnoona 15:20, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
As far as I can tell, it is a single spa, associated with a city or town called Oradea. I think our routine is for the village, not the spa, to be the destination, right? -- Bill-on-the-Hill 19:17, 7 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete if this is just a spa (the search results are mostly in foreign languages, so I'm having trouble figuring it out). -- Ryan 06:32, 12 April 2006 (EDT)




Nichada thani

  • VFDed by Maj, but not listed here. — Ravikiran 02:24, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Gah! I always get distracted... anyway, I can't tell if it's a destination or a housing community or what... at the very least it needs to move to Nichada Thani. Majnoona 09:58, 26 April 2006 (EDT)

Ram Island

  • It looks like an attraction, not an inhabited island. We do not have an article for Liberty Island, so we shouldn't have an article for this. — Ravikiran 02:33, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete. Should be a get out or see from the closest town, or wherever boats come from... Majnoona 22:33, 24 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Niepolomice1.jpg

  • Delete. Taken from Polish Wikipedia where the legal status is listed as unknown. It is the uploader's responsibility to clarify these things before uploading. -- Colin 14:57, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Tarnow ratusz.jpg

  • Delete. Taken from commons where it is claimed to be in the public domain. But the claim appears to be based on the fact that it is taken from the official tarnow home page, and why would they mind? Under copyright law, it's only in the public domain if the author takes explicit steps to make it so. -- Colin 15:24, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Krakow-kazimierz-ratusz.jpg

  • Delete copyvio (GFDL) from wikipedia . -- Colin 15:52, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Krakow synagoga stara.jpg

  • Delete copyvio (GFDL) from Wikipedia -- Colin 16:04, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Cmentarz Rakowicki 1.jpg

  • Delete copyvio (GFDL) from Wikipedia . -- Colin 16:13, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:449px-Bazylika karmelitow.jpg

  • Delete copyvio (GFDL) from Wikipedia -- Colin 16:21, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Kambielanykr.jpg

  • Delete copyvio (GFDL) from Wikipedia -- Colin 16:24, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:KrakowTwardowski.jpg

  • Delete, unknown author. Uploader writes "from Wikipedia Commons" but he was the uploader to wikipedia commons so that's pretty meaningless. Uploader has a history of misunderstanding copyright. -- Colin 16:39, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Modafinil

  • Delete. A short description of a brand-name drug used to treat narcolepsy would seem not to be a valid travel article topic. SHC 19:44, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete -- Colin 19:46, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete Majnoona 22:36, 24 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Petabandung.jpg

  • Copyvio (and completely useless to boot). Jpatokal 12:53, 23 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete. It's a twofer! -- Jonboy 13:18, 26 April 2006 (EDT)

Atlanta dining

  • Delete. Was an advertisement until I deleted it. Sapphire 21:22, 23 April 2006 (EDT)
Delete, anything that would got there belongs in Atlanta#Eat. Majnoona 22:13, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

R. B. Curumsey Damjee Arogya Bhuvan (Sanatorium), Matheran

  • Delete seems to be an advertisement for a rental agency near Mumbai. Sapphire 06:12, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete -- Jonboy 13:17, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete, but maybe see if any of the content could go somewhere else? Majnoona 07:26, 27 April 2006 (EDT)

Mount Tallac

  • Delete. A trail. Not an article topic. -- Jonboy 13:13, 26 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Is it an multi-day hike? I could see keeping it then, but otherwise Delete. Majnoona 07:26, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
  • It's 10 miles, no Sleep info given. You can camp in the surrounding area, but not on the trail. Delete. - Todd VerBeek 18:44, 27 April 2006 (EDT)

Backpackers

  • Delete. If there was going to be a travel topic, I think Backpacking would be OK. Verbs seem to make more sense than nounds... Majnoona 07:26, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete. (In fact, there already are two TT articles on this subject: Urban backpacking and Wilderness backpacking.) - Todd VerBeek 07:33, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete. Instead of Backpacking I would suggest Backpacker because the term is what most people would search. But both are possible jan 07:36, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
    • Yeah, but what would Backpacker be about? Is there anything that isn't covered in Urban backpacking or Wilderness backpacking? I'd much rather see activities than type of people. Majnoona 21:18, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
    • I also think that backpacking is a better term. A backpackers is also a name given to accommodation where a backpacker might stay. -- 07:00, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Pic.jpg

  • Delete. We dont do picts of listings... Majnoona 21:18, 27 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete. Wow, that's a boring picture. -- Jonboy 12:11, 28 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Of course it's boring; it's a place to sleep :) Yeah, delete. - Todd VerBeek 12:35, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Cusco1 089.jpg

  • No sign of 20-odd image releases - we don't do people pics. -- DanielC 17:00, 28 April 2006 (EDT)
    • Delete. -- Jonboy 17:08, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Mujer con su burros.jpg

  • Sorry, no image release. -- DanielC 17:04, 28 April 2006 (EDT)
    • Delete. -- Jonboy 17:08, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Cusco1 263.jpg

  • No image releases. -- DanielC 17:06, 28 April 2006 (EDT)
    • Delete. -- Jonboy 17:09, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

San Nicolas

  • Delete. Anything that's off-limits to civilians doesn't pass the "can you sleep there test?" Info should be moved to Riverside or Long Beach or possibly Channel Islands (California). Probably the last. Should we then redirect? -- Jonboy 21:31, 28 April 2006 (EDT)
    • Merge with Channel Islands and redirect; the content is useful even if you can't sleep there. (BTW, who are you? Please go back and sign with four squiggles...) -- Bill-on-the-Hill 21:38, 28 April 2006 (EDT)

Image:Gbrandt.KohPhiPhi.TonSaiBay.Oct2005.jpg

Thoroughly obsoleted by Image:PhiPhiAerial.jpg. Jpatokal 23:59, 29 April 2006 (EDT)

May 2006

Brussels National Airport

  • Not big enough to deserve an article. -- DanielC 14:46, 30 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Merge into Brussels and delete. Jpatokal 21:44, 30 April 2006 (EDT)
  • Merge into Brussels and redirect to Brussels, then you don't need to delete. -- Huttite 08:11, 1 May 2006 (EDT)

Testen

  • Delete - An orphan page. Testen is probably German for Testing. A google search turns up 22 million references, most of them in German. -- Huttite 08:11, 1 May 2006 (EDT)
    • Delete. -- Jonboy 08:36, 1 May 2006 (EDT)

Lodging

  • Misplaced sleep entry. Where does this belong anyway? Jpatokal 09:35, 2 May 2006 (EDT)
  • Delete. This same sales pitch was found (I've edited it down) in the geographically appropriate Ludington article. - Todd VerBeek 09:44, 2 May 2006 (EDT)

Hillsong

  • Content was "Australian Christian Music Group" I think maybe someone misread "t-r-a-v-e-l" as "p-e-d-i-a" ;-) Majnoona 22:02, 2 May 2006 (EDT)
    • LOL, Maj ... I think you can rapid-delete this one without being pilloried ... -- Bill-on-the-Hill 22:06, 2 May 2006 (EDT)
      • I was kinda hoping I could find a place with that name, like with Cherry, but doesn't seem like it... Majnoona 22:16, 2 May 2006 (EDT)

Packing list

  • This page is of no practical use. It is useless as an actual packing list, because it includes items that are useful only for some kinds of travel and omits items that are useful in others. It's one person's comprehensive things-I-might-ever-bring packing list, slightly edited. In fact, most times when people make good-faith attempts to edit this page, one of its guardians reverts it, even when the edits are not the kind of blatant personalization that originally inspired this unilateral, no-discussion pattern of reversion. I believe this is inappropriate, but my attempt to question it on the Talk page has been mostly ignored. The combination of this page's uselessness and the fact that it inspires this kind of behavior by otherwise responsible editors are why I think MaxTravelz would be better without it. Delete. - Todd VerBeek 22:47, 2 May 2006 (EDT)

Aerolineas Argentinas

Not an article. Jpatokal 08:03, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

  • Delete. - Sapphire
  • Delete. Majnoona 08:39, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Pattaya/Bay of Pattaya

  • Delte. I created this district with the minimal information I had about the city's districts and as it was pointed out to me by Jpatokal this is not a district. Sapphire 15:15, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Pattaya/Buddha Hill

  • Delte. I created this district with the minimal information I had about the city's districts and as it was pointed out to me by Jpatokal this is not a district. Sapphire 15:15, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Pattaya/North Pattaya

  • Delte. I created this district with the minimal information I had about the city's districts and as it was pointed out to me by Jpatokal this is not a district. Sapphire 15:15, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Pattaya/South Pattaya

  • Delte. I created this district with the minimal information I had about the city's districts and as it was pointed out to me by Jpatokal this is not a district. Sapphire 15:15, 3 May 2006 (EDT)
