DMZ tour

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Wikipedia is not a tour guide. This article just lists locations that this DMZ tour visits. Completely unsourced so no way of telling the tour actually does visit all those places. Furthermore, not notable. Atlan (talk) 11:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete unreferenced and probably original research. MilborneOne (talk) 16:58, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOTTRAVEL. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 18:37, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs a lot of work. However, WP:NOTTRAVEL does not apply:
 * Travel guides. An article on Paris should mention landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but not the telephone number or street address of your favorite hotel or the price of a café au lait on the Champs-Élysées.
 * The article does indeed mention landmarks, and does *not* mention contact information or menus. Proxy User (talk) 20:03, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't have to mention all of the things. Just some. Those are just examples and not the only things that apply to WP:NOTTRAVEL. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 21:00, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Merge as a few sourced sentences into the main DMZ article. There is notable coverage of tours, but most of the sites are already detailed in their own articles and the subject doesn't warrant much more than noting its novelty. Flowanda | Talk 01:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is a list of sights, nothing more. Drmies (talk) 00:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * keep: WP:NOTTRAVEL doesn't apply at all here. That guideline is about what articles on places shouldn't contain. This article is not an article on a specific place, but on tours to that place. The notability for a standalone article on such tours is hard to determine, but http://books.google.nl/books?id=UrohIhkT_sUC&pg=PA137&dq=DMZ+tour+korea&ei=D10KSfa8CJ2ItAPEqumhBQ&client=firefox-a&hl=en gives significant coverage to such tours, and is a reliable source. This source makes me think there must be more out there. The article however is a mess. It hardly provides any encyclopedic content, it only gives a brief overview of what places DMZ tours are likely to visit. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 01:25, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree with that narrow interpretation of WP:NOTTRAVEL. Anyway, even when taking WP:NOTTRAVEL out of the equation, the article has little going for it, if anything at all.--Atlan (talk) 13:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
