Tourism in North Karnataka

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

I am listing this article per WP:NOTTRAVEL. All the notable tourist destinations are covered in their own articles and there is no additional encyclopedic information here at all. There are large, unencyclopedic sections such as "Top 10 Tourist Attractions of North Karnataka", and the whole thing is extremely WP:POV and peacocky. The same subject matter could possibly be covered in an encyclopedic way: it could talk about economic significance, tourist demographics, and objectively present a summary of the main destinations (supported by relevant information such as visitor numbers). However, this just looks like promotional material from a tourist board and there is almost nothing here that could be salvaged.- Papa November (talk) 12:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Papa,


 * Thanks for your comments on the article "Tourism in North Karnataka". I am ready to take your suggestions; I will try to modify the article to meet the standard of wikipedia.


 * As you already know North Karnataka is known for the historical places associated with Chalukyas, Rastrakutas, Kadambas, Vijayanagara Empire and others.


 * This article is necessary to provide the information related to Tourism in North Karnataka. I hope you will not suggest this article after modification.


 * Thanks and Regards

 * Comment: Thanks for your reply, Manjunath. At a bare minimum, all peacock terms and point-of view statements would need to be removed.  The unencyclopedic sections like "Tourism Circuits in North Karnataka" and bare lists of places to visit would also have to be replaced by encyclopedic information such as the effects of tourism upon the economy and the environment.  In short, it may be easier to delete it and rewrite it completely as I think it takes the wrong approach to the subject.  I'll try to strip out some of the most problematic parts and we can see how it looks. Papa November (talk) 13:18, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Alternative suggestion: How about stripping out all the WP:POV, WP:PEACOCK terms and tagging all the unreferenced material, converting it to list format and moving it to List of tourist attractions in North Karnataka? Papa November (talk) 13:55, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Merge/Delete each piece of this to the articles of the districts of North Kanaranata such as Uttar Kannada, Dharwar.... No need to have them in a separate article such as this. You are duplication.. --Athos, Porthos, and Aramis (talk) 00:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to Tourism in Karnataka, which is probably what this is spun off of. There is no state called "North Karnataka".  The Indian state of Karnataka is slightly smaller in area than the American state of Nebraska.  Although eastern Nebraska has more exciting nightlife than western Nebraska, I would not support articles for either of those two sections of a defined area.

 * Merge with Tourism in Karnataka and clean up to remove the excessive peacockery. No clear justification for cretaing this subpage + it anyways needs to be rewritten to comply with wikipedia's sourcing and NPOV policies. Even the official organizations for tourism promotion deal with the whole state rather than this region alone; and encyclopedic content like number of domestic/international tourists per year is also compiled statewide AFAIK.

 * Neutral Karnataka is a big, beautiful state with a lot of tourist attractions. Despite it being not well referenced as it is now, it still appears to have the potential to stand on its own. -- Docku:  What's up?  04:58, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge Tourism in Karnataka is a substantial article, but not so long as to require the forking off of subarticles, at least not yet. That article has a section on North Karnataka which will be a suitable merge target.  Peterkingiron (talk) 13:38, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
