List of places called Venice of the East

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

it is complete POV how cities qualify. I do not think one or 2 articles where a journalist from that city thinks it is Venice of the East is a subjective manner to determine it is Venice of the East. LibStar (talk) 03:02, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Not sure The concept seems a little light weight, but at least every item is documented. Steve Dufour (talk) 13:57, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep List criteria are clear and well-bounded. Entries are well-documented. WP:RS sources referring to a location as "Venice of the East", while in some sense subjective, is no more subjective for our purposes than most of our reliance on reliable sources and it is definitely not POV. 24.151.116.25 (talk) 16:04, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep and rename to Venice of the East. This is a commonplace phrase that readers will look for in an encyclopedia, as is Venice of the North, so we should help those readers find what they are looking for. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:23, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Unsure. Calling a city the "Venice of (fill in cardinal direction)" is certainly a cliche, but an article rather than a list may be more appropriate. Bearian (talk) 17:49, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge with Venice of the North or possibly Venice. I see this as valid information, but not a stand-alone article, much less a plain list of cities without description. Reywas92 Talk 06:11, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not an encyclopedic topic. List of places about which journalists have been quoted using one particular hackneyed cliché is more accurate. Carrite (talk) 18:16, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per Carrite. I don't see the value in collecting instances of what really amount to compliments of particular cities. --BDD (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Merge insofar as sourced with the "...of the North" page to something like List of places compared to Venice, or just delete as trivia.  Sandstein   09:31, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename Venice of the East per Phil Bridger; article meets WP:LSC.  Mini  apolis  14:11, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
