Votes for deletion

From Wikitravel Shared

Jump to: navigation, search

This page contains lists of articles and images which are recommended for deletion. Any Wikitraveller can recommend an article or image for deletion, and any Wikitraveller can comment on the deletion nomination. Articles and images are presumed guilty until proven innocent. After fourteen (14) days of discussion, if a consensus is reached to retain an article, it won't be deleted. Otherwise it will be deleted by an administrator. Please read the Nominating and Commenting sections prior to nominating articles/images or commenting on nominations.

[edit] 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. 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.
  3. 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.

[edit] Commenting

All Wikitravellers are asked to state their opinion about articles and images listed for deletion. The format for comments is: 

===[[Chicken]]===
* '''Delete'''.  Not a valid travel article topic. TravelNut 25:25, 31 Feb 2525 (EDT)
* '''Keep'''.  There is a town in [[Alaska]] called Chicken. ~~~~

When leaving comments:

  1. First read the deletion policy and verify that the article or image really is a candidate for deletion.
  2. You may vote to delete, keep, or redirect the article. If your opinion is that the article should be kept or redirected, please state why you feel that way. Sign your vote using four tildes ("~~~~").

[edit] Deleting, or not

After fourteen (14) days of discussion, there will probably be consensus one way or the other. If the consensus is to keep, redirect or merge, then any Wikitraveller can do it. If you are redirecting, please remember to check for broken redirects or double redirects as a result of your move. Remove any VFD notices from that page and copy the deletion discussion to the talk page of the article being kept or redirected.

If the result is delete, then only an administrator can delete. Check if any article links to the image or article in question. After removing those links, delete the image or article.

After you keep/redirect/merge/delete the article, copy the deletion discussion to the appropriate archive.

[edit] Image:Vinisce.jpg

Almost certainly a copyvio (aerial photo with no attribution) and unusably small to boot. Jpatokal 12:28, 27 March 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Image:Gallerie st denis.jpg

Delete. Copyright clearly marked on photo. 2old 11:49, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Keep. Licence clearly granted as well. This photo is explicitly licensed by the author under the CC by-sa. He must own the copyright in order to do that. -- Mark 16:31, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
Keep. CC is just a way of licensing copyrighted works. Jpatokal 05:41, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

  • Delete. too recongnizable and focuses on the drummers – cacahuate talk 03:54, 9 May 2008 (EDT)
  • Delete. Too bad, because it's a nice shot, but the privacy violation is clear. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 12:52, 7 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Image:Garden Route-Bloukrans Bridge.jpg

Delete - The wiki refuses to display this photo for some reason. I'll upload a replacement --NJR ZA 05:33, 20 April 2008 (EDT)

I can see it – cacahuate talk 03:49, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean

Delete. Definitely does not belong here, but I'm not sure what the intent was, so I'll leave it to run through the process. --Peter Talk 11:24, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Image:2006 08300085.JPG

Delete No license info is specified. Tatata ask him for license a long time ago (see [1]), but author not answer. -- Sergey kudryavtsev 04:37, 29 April 2008 (EDT)

I suggested that license info must be assigned explicitly. I will keep in my mind your remark. -- Sergey kudryavtsev 04:08, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Image:Asd.jpg

Delete Pivacey Violation. 2old 12:13, 28 May 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Samokov

Clearly does not belong on Shared. I was about to merge to en:Samokov, until I read that nugget "including the author." I couldn't find an online source, but I'm inclined to delete this as a very probable copyvio. --Peter Talk 04:02, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

I don't see what the problem is; 'including the author' clearly indicates the writer owns a holiday home there and is probably quite an authority on the area! The article has some good facts and I dont see why it should be deleted. Tony.

I've merged it to en:Samokov. We really need to give Shared more distinct branding... at least change the background color or something? Jpatokal 00:49, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] June 2008

[edit] Image:Picture 097.jpg

  • Delete. Was on the en:Ohrid page, but it's pretty random and not useful, and there are plenty more pics for that destination already – cacahuate talk 17:00, 21 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Image:Lighthouse_of_Alexandria.gif

  • Delete. We don't have much use for drawings here, we normally just use pictures and maps in the articles – cacahuate talk 01:52, 24 June 2008 (EDT)
  • Keep for using in en:Alexandria as a introduction to ancient history. The lighthouse was demonished in XIV century, so it is imposible to take a photo. But uploader should denote a drawing's author for a copyright cleanness... -- Sergey kudryavtsev 06:12, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
Hmm. What do others think about this? In general we should be using current pics of what a place looks like now, and not old pics or drawings... those are usually more relevant to Wikipedia than us... but I'm a little unsure on this one, it's one of the 7 wonders... but what's left there now? is the site a tourist attraction? is there rubble there now? do people visit it? – cacahuate talk 15:47, 25 June 2008 (EDT)
Now there is Citadel of Qaitbay. I don't know how much its tourist popularity. -- Sergey kudryavtsev 03:41, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
Keep. Absolutely nothing of the original lighthouse remains, they've built the abovementioned fortress above it. But I agree with Sergey: as one of the original Seven Wonders and an icon of the city, the drawing is important as a historical reference and should be kept. I've added the source, it's a valid old PD image. Jpatokal 06:21, 28 June 2008 (EDT)
Then keep we shall – cacahuate talk 23:47, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Image:Orchid.jpg

  • Delete. Of no use to a travel guide (and it's not an orchid) – cacahuate talk 15:52, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
  • Delete. It's a cultivated plant. It's grown around the globe in tropical gardens and in greenhouses. --Rein N. 22:23, 26 June 2008 (EDT)
And in every backyard in LA... here we call it Bird of Paradise, one of the most common plants in the area  :) – cacahuate talk 11:40, 27 June 2008 (EDT)
