A470 road
Hi, just to let you know that I have completely removed the "Points of Interest" section, which you have contributed to on the A470 road article as Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Nothing mentioned within that section was actually relevant to the article about the road and has no place in the article, however some may warrant articles of their own if they don't already have them. Thanks Jeni  ( talk ) 17:52, 15 February 2016 (UTC)


 * What right have you to delete a that was set up as a university project for our group. The points of interest may not be of interest to you but it is to others throughout the world who visit our area for numerous reasons. Also the points of interest were specifically associated with the A470 from Brecon to Cardiff. So what is the problem with you???


 * If this was set up as a university project then I'm afraid that your tutor was wrong to encourage you to introduce content that has no place in the article. Feel free to encourage them to come here and discuss this. Please read the link that I included in my comment above - Wikipedia is not a travel guide.
 * Do you care to expand on how you think that those points had any connection other than being "vaguely near" the A470? Jeni  ( talk ) 08:58, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

It seems that you are unaware of the historical interest in the Merthyr Valley of which the A470 runs through. All those points of interest were essential to the Industrial Revolution and Merthyr as the Iron Capital of the World at the start of the 19th century and continued into the beginning of the 20th century. Hoovers was a massive employer of over 5000 people in its heyday. If you are truly interested in the facts then perhaps you should have looked them up first before removing the points of interest. The other area on the site was Pontypridd and the Albion Colliery, which was a mining disaster and is actually adjacent to the A470 today. So please tell me now that we were writing a travel guide and not historical interests of the road, which actually follows some of the route of the old Glamorganshire Canal, which ran from Merthyr Tydfil to Cardiff..

If you feel that we have been wrongly advised then you contact the university and tell them that. It is the University of South Wales, Treforest, Pontypridd, History Department.

If Wikipedia is not a travel guide then why do you have a list of service stations on your site??

Can you please reply to my enquiry and also why is Merthyr Tydfil not mentioned on the A470 page as the motorway runs through the Merthyr Valley???
