List of tourist attractions in Somerset

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a list whose function would be better covered by Wikivoyage. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:01, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Oh, no. I do so hope this isn't the start of a raft of AFDs on places, or tourist attractions or lists of such places. Let's hope someone just pressed the wrong button in Twinkle. WP:LISTN says the topic must be notable. Is there really any serious suggestion there are not reliable, etc. sources about tourist attractions in Somerset? Wouldn't these do? Moreover, the list is limited to places with WP articles so it is a useful navigational aid. We no not remove articles about species from here because they are in Wikispecies. We should not be doing so for places on account of Wikivoyage. Thincat (talk) 15:26, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The evidence seems to be that Wikipedia does a better job of this. In any case, we don't delete articles for this reason.  For example, we have species and lists of species on Wikipedia even though there's a specialised project for it - Wikispecies.  My view is that less is more and that we should close those other projects to focus upon our core competency. Warden (talk) 19:06, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Wikipedia is not a tourist guide and Wikivoyage is not an encyclopaedia. Just as much as Wikipedia has crossovers with WikiSpecies, Wiktionary, etc, so it does with Wikivoyage. In the specific case this is a navigational list to encyclopaedia articles, the list on Wikivoyage would link to travel guides and so fulfil a different purpose.

 * Keep, standard navigational list of articles per WP:LISTPURP and a complement to Category:Visitor attractions in Somerset per WP:CLN. postdlf (talk) 23:59, 16 June 2013 (UTC)


 * WP:SNOW, 5 Keep votes and no votes for deletion, time for closure, I think. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:27, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep -- a useful list that is doeing something more than merely listing articles. POssibly rename to match category (or vice versa).  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:23, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
