 * Delete - who defines them as interesting? One man's interesting is anothers boredom. Ben W Bell   talk  08:31, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete arbitrary and travel guide.-- danntm T C 15:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:LC; List of boring places in Kent. dcandeto 16:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep or Move I agree with the comment "Wikipedia is not a travel guide" however the page does not break the guidelines set in What Wikipedia is not where it talks about Paris should mention the Eiffel Tower but not the phone number. The List of places of interest in Kent page was created following advice from WikiProject UK geography in an attempt to improve the Kent article (see Talk:Kent). The information could be put back into the Kent article rather than this page, or the page could be moved to List of tourist attractions in Kent. Just because you may find something 'boring' does not make it unworthy. - Olive Oil - ŢάĽɮ - 19:22, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 09:57, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Might need some cleanup but otherwise reasonable. This is consistent with Summary style avoiding making the Kent article too long. --Polaron | Talk 15:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete an arbitrary list of things that range from locations to shopping complexes to sports clubs. Wikipedia is not a directory. Nuttah68 15:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - It was done as part of a clean up of the Kent article. Yes WP is not a directory, etc. How do you all suggest the editors at the Kent article and the relatively new Wikiproject Kent either clean up or merge back this article to make this a suitable page/bit of information.

 * Delete. Far too arbitrary and POV and could never be anything else. -- Necrothesp 18:43, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per all above (maybe rename list of tourist attractions in Kent or something similar. "places of interest" is open to pov I guess, whereas tourist attractions are.......tourist attractions whether or not I would find them of interest.) Jcuk 20:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment the list is not just tourist attractions though. That randomness is part of the problem. It is a list where peolple have added what interests them. Nuttah68 21:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Weak move to List of tourist attractions in Kent as a couple of others have suggested above, and remove things can't justifiably be listed in it. By way of precedent, there are such articles: List of tourist attractions in Amsterdam is a good example of how such an article can exist.--A bit iffy 08:23, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep There already exist several such articles, see
 * Places of interest in Bermuda, Places of interest in Bursa, Places of interest in Ernakulam district, Places of interest in Kasaragod district, Places of interest in Kolkata, Places of interest in and around Ernakulam, Places of interest in the Death Valley area, Places of interest in the Death and Panamint valleys area. They are not tourist guides they list the places which have geographic or cultural significance. Lumos3 22:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Question Should this article be worked on now? or is it best to wait until a decision has been made, to avoid wasted effort? - Olive Oil - ŢάĽɮ - 06:48, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wikipedia isn't a directory. Besides, who decides what is and what isn't. Those articles listed by Lumos3 should probably all be deleted as well.-- Carabinieri 15:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
