 * Keep - While aspects of the article are promotional, this can be addressed by copy editing it. Outright deletion of the entire article seems excessive, especially since the topic passes WP:N. Some source examples include, but are not limited to:
 * Tourism in the New Europe: The Challenges and Opportunities of EU Enlargement. pp. 256-265.
 * "Dracula tourism in Romania Cultural identity and the state". Annals of Tourism Research. pp. 746–765.
 * "Rural tourism and livelihood strategies in Romania". Journal of Rural Studies. pp. 152–162.

 * Keep -because subject meets the standard of inclusion and wp:deletion is not cleanup. Anupmehra  - Let's talk!  10:17, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep according to what policies should this be deleted? Nergaal (talk) 15:37, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep While is correct in saying much of the article reads like a travel brochure and WP:BLOWITUP might be one way to go, copyediting (and sourcing!) should be tried first. --Neil N  talk to me 16:18, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - me, from a HUGE fan of WP:TNT! - this is so important and obviously notable a topic, that somebody should be able to fix it through the normal editing process. I haven't been to Romania, nor do I feel comfortable editing the topic, so someone else will have to rescue this one. Bearian (talk) 20:45, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, it is promotional but that is not a reason to delete. Frmorrison (talk) 17:54, 5 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep, per NorthAmerica's sources. Also any mention of wp:TNT in an AFD is a red flag that notability is present.  Implicit in anyone's call for TNT is recognition that there is a valid topic present;  the wp:TNT essay is simply invalid and goes against core Wikipedia principles, such as that contributors will be recognized for their contributions by GFDL and its replacement license that ensure credit.  No matter if an article is greatly revised and all original language is changed, the original creator(s) deserve credit for getting it started, frankly. -- do  ncr  am  02:29, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
