Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Freshly branded tourism region (launched 12 April 2018). Nice marketing effort but nothing achieved. The Banner talk 19:52, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. New, yes. But a news search reveals that the subject has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. I can add more of these to the article if it will help. ODriscollOClock (talk) 20:08, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, they throw in a nice marketing campaign. But what did the IHH achieve themselves? And why is that marketing campaign also on Wikipedia? The Banner talk 00:36, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep per ODriscollOClock.ApolloCarmb (talk) 20:50, 13 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep: the region was just introduced two days ago with lots of news coverage and you already want to delete it. Remember that Ireland is rather big on it's tourism. I don't think so. Wait a little while and it will no doubt be expanded. ww2censor (talk) 22:33, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Is there any sign of coverage in the press or elsewhere beyond the current marketing campaign? The Banner talk 07:36, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. tourist promotion entirely. The term itself indicates it has no other purpose. That news sources repeat promotional material does not make it less promotional--it rather shows the sources are to that extent unreliable in the matter.  . DGG ( talk ) 08:50, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * delete That this tourism branding was introduced only (now) three days ago is exactly why it needs to be deleted. We are not here to promote the promotion. Mangoe (talk) 12:20, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. A tourism marketing campaign that has gotten mentioned a few times in local newspaper is run-of-the-mill. --Calton | Talk 14:38, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. Standard touristm self-promotion. The campaign isn't particularly notable. FirefoxLSD (talk) 15:49, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: I stand by my assertion that the subject meets the basic criteria for inclusion, as I outlined above. It's an officialy designated tourism region, not simply a marketing campaign. But as a realist, my request to the closer is that if the decision is against inclusion, that it will be to merge rather than delete, with a to the relevent section on the article of the designating body, Fáilte_Ireland. ODriscollOClock (talk) 13:43, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * It's "officially designated" by the National Tourism Development Authority of Ireland. In other words, it's a tourism marketing campaign. Your distinction is also irrelevant because whatever you want to call it, it fails notability requirements: Wikipedia is for documenting notability, not promoting it. --Calton | Talk 14:49, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * From where else would an official designation come from if if not the national authority? ODriscollOClock (talk) 15:28, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I get a bit itchy from the fact that you have added a link to almost every possible related article and have filled the article with irrelevant stuff about lakes and rivers. I severely doubt that those rivers and lakes have joined the region by themselves. The Banner talk 15:56, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The point is that your "official designation" is essentially meaningless, since its "authority" is the National -->TOURISM<--- Authority. So it is, once again, A MARKETING CAMPAIGN TO PROMOTE TOURISM. Your distinction is also irrelevant because whatever you want to call it, it fails notability requirements: Wikipedia is for documenting notability, not promoting it. --Calton | Talk 16:44, 16 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete a "tourism region" isn't the type of thing that must be included by WP:NGEO. It's inherently promotional, and the launch publicity can't meet the sustained coverage needed for GNG. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 04:10, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
