Viking Voyage

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There are no sources cited. Viking Voyage is also an insignificant topic with very little content, other than to say when and where it existed (already covered in the Wild Adventures article). There are specs associated with the coaster, but these are insignificant as well. GoneIn60 (talk) 06:59, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge, probably to Wild Adventures, or "Keep" and expand. Roller coasters are big items that are of significant interest to the public, that usually have extensive coverage.  wp:ITSAPUBLICATTRACTION.  However, the current article is short and unsatisfying as an article.  it is not necessary to have a separate article if the material written in Wikipedia is not long;  they can be covered in list-articles about roller coasters or in articles about theme parks that have them.  Here, there is existing article Wild Adventures which mentions this in the text but does not have a row for it in its table of roller coasters.  Maybe the table only covers current ones?  Well, modify the table to include past ones too, as is often/usually done for lists of significant things/places.  Also the table could/should be modified to include thumbnail images of the roller coasters it covers.  It would be inappropriate to delete this topic entirely and deny readers the opportunity to find their way to where the topic is covered in Wikipedia. Merging leaves a redirect behind and allows restoration if someone chooses to expand using significant additional sourced information. --Doncram (talk) 10:20, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * , a closer look at this ride reveals that it was actually removed prior to the 2019 season. The article says it was moved to Fun Spot Kissimmee, and this is backed up by RCDB. Perhaps we can briefly mention it at the Fun Spot article and change this to a redirect. While I agree that roller coasters in general are big items that often deserve coverage in a dedicated article (I work on hundreds of coaster articles), this one doesn't qualify. It hasn't received any extensive coverage. It's a junior coaster that isn't any more significant than other amusement rides offered at the parks it existed in. Other than minor specs and the years it was featured, there's not much more that can be said. A one- or two-line mention at the amusement park article it's currently located at is probably ample coverage for a ride of this magnitude. --GoneIn60 (talk) 20:28, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Merger to Fun Spot America Theme Parks would be fine too, adding it to the table there which includes other rides which have been moved to there. The ride should probably be mentioned, still, at Wild Adventures.  Thanks, GoneIn60, and sure, one or two line mention is okay, but it should be mentioned, and readers should be directed to where it is covered most substantially. --Doncram (talk) 18:31, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
