Ambiguous redirect outside Indian contexts, where it could mean the Associated Press instead of Andhra Pradesh. Yes, we don't cover news agencies here, but "AP" is still ambiguous even within Wikivoyage. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 14:22, 7 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It does not seem likely either as a search term or for linking. Pashley (talk) 08:19, 8 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Convert to disambiguation as this is not entirely an uncommon phrase to use in conversation. //shb (t | c | m) 22:53, 9 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• "Associated Press" isn't a travel term. We needed worry about it. We have a lot of acronyms (especially airport codes) that are redirects to travel articles without disambiguation pages. If AP is commonly used in India for Andhra Pradesh, then it is a valid redirect. But I defer to Sbb1413's local knowledge to answer that question. Ground Zero (talk) 13:01, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I have no problems with the fact that "AP" is commonly used in India to mean Andhra Pradesh. But I fear whether it has some other meaning elsewhere (other than "Associated Press" of course, which you have pointed out not a travel term). Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 17:48, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If it does have another travel- related meaning, we can create a disambiguation page when someone identifies it. I guess I think that Andhra Pradesh is important because it has a population 25% larger than that of my home country, Canada. BC redirects to British Columbia, and NS redirects to Nova Scotia, both of which have a fraction of AP's population. Ground Zero (talk) 18:15, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Ikan. Seeing "Londres" on the ground isn't particularly uncommon (particularly in Paris Gare du Nord and Bruxelles-Midi/Zuid for Eurostar services), and I don't think it's an inherently unreasonable redirect. //shb (t | c | m) 09:28, 17 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Redirects are cheap & this is at worst harmless, likely occasionally useful. Pashley (talk) 13:22, 17 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — There seems to be a consensus for keeping certain redirects that are both non-English and non-native. But I think that should be on a case-by-case basis, similar to WP:RLOTE. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 18:17, 17 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This was nominated in 2013, and the nomination failed. More than 12 years later, this article is still a waste of space. It links two articles, but has no description, incorrect coordinates, and a long list of red links. While in theory it could possibly be an extraregion article, it isn't one, and no-one is will to make something of it. This article is of no use to readers. There is no content to merge to other articles, and no obvious place to merge it. It is time to delete it. Ground Zero (talk) 12:50, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I would say to redirect it to the parent region and give it a quick mention there, but of course the problem is that Emilia-Romagna is in a different parent region from the other regions included in Montefeltro. I doubt it would make sense to mention it in the Italy article. I regret deleting the article, but like you, I struggle to see a good solution unless someone wants to write something substantive. Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:23, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia article includes a map showing it spanning three of our regions: Emilia Romagna, Marche and Tuscany. Oh, and another country, San Marino. I don't think a redirect to Emilia-Romagna is correct, as someone following the link would arrive at ER and find no informationabout Montefeltro. Further, it spans our top-level Central Italy and Northeast Italy regions. The article is so sparse that there isn't even any descriptive text to use to make a passing comment in the Italy article. This actually a case of page creation vandalism. I don't feel the need to bend over backwards to try to keep a redirect here. If this were a valid travel search term, I think that someone would have added some kind of content to it at some point. Ground Zero (talk) 18:11, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I think page creation vandalism is an overstatement. Italian WV has a similar article, which has Get in info and a list of castles in See, but they do have articles for 9 of the municipalities. It would just cross the threshold to keep if the Italian article was translated. AlasdairW (talk) 18:24, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

No-one suggested a redirect to Emilia-Romagna. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:43, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Policy page has:

Simply asserting that a page does not fit within our goals is not sufficient for a deletion rationale, which needs to reference specific policy.

This does make at least some sense as an extra region & the fact that Italian WV has a page shows that the term is in use. There is no good place to redirect to; Italy comes closest but is not quite right since the region includes San Marino. Pashley (talk) 20:35, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It is a stub, in that it has no useful information and links only two articles. Under our stub policy, I could put a stub tag on it and then delete it after 7 days, but I felt it would be better to have a discussion about it. Is there any reason to keep it, beyond the procedural objection you make? Ground Zero (talk) 20:46, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep As there is some interest in having this article, I have added a map & markers and translated the See section of the Italian article. It is now 4 times longer than it was an hour ago. AlasdairW (talk) 22:01, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks, but the towns those castles are in need to be mentioned and linked in each 1-line listing, and moreover, that is a long list in apparent violation of Wikivoyage:Avoid long lists. Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:15, 13 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the effort that Alasdair has put into trying to rescue this article, but it remains of no use to travellers. Ground Zero (talk) 12:26, 26 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete and move the one useful listing ("Regional Park of Sasso Simone and Simoncello") to Pennabilli. I'd love to see an article (a travel topic or itinerary, perhaps?) about the castles, but considering the state of many of our articles from this region of Italy, I don't think that's realistic. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 13:55, 31 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Near-empty article with little-to-no real listings (listings like Sringeri are actually separate cities with own articles). No information on why travellers would visit this place. No corresponding Wikipedia article to improve this travel article. --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:34, 6 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the article for the nearest town and mention the temple and big river fish there? Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:50, 6 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect and Merge into Thirthahalli. I think Chibbalagudde is just the temple with a fish sanctuary where you can feed the fish. Some of the listings may be better moved to other cities. I have expanded some of the listings. AlasdairW (talk) 21:25, 6 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Redirect to the listing. Article has no content, and park doesn't appear to be so significant that it should have its own article. AlasdairW (talk) 21:21, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  According to Wikivoyage:What is an article?, a theme park district with on-site hotels can deserve an article; examples are Disneyland and Cedar Point. However, this article has no content at the moment. /Yvwv (talk) 10:18, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This extraregion is largely redundant to the Grand Est region of France, and no part of this region has been a part of Germany since 1918 (excluding the Nazi period). --Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 12:40, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree that this is not a useful extraregion. I suggest redirecting it to Grand Est, which has subregions for Alsace and Lorraine separately. Ground Zero (talk) 12:57, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I agree with a redirect, but speedy keep. It's a sufficiently well-known historical region for the term to exist on this site. Ikan Kekek (talk) 13:09, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  It's definitely well-known (I learnt about it in high school history), but the Grand Est region itself consists of Alsace, Lorraine and Champagne-Ardenne. Plus the current article has only two sentences for such a historical region, which could be easily covered under the "Understand" section of Grand Est. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 13:13, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Ikan. Definitely keep in some form. Pashley (talk) 13:35, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Grand Est per GZ. Dunno about keeping, but I do oppose deletion. //shb (t | c | m) 23:02, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  If you oppose deletion, what possible other choice could there be other than to keep? Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:46, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Redirect, but I feel less strongly about it than deleting it outright. //shb (t | c | m) 01:11, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be helpful if people could clarify if they want to redirect the article or keep it as is. Those are different options. Ground Zero (talk) 01:08, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is Votes for deletion, and this stub was nominated for deletion. I oppose deletion. I support a redirect, but that is not the fundamental question, and this is not Votes for redirection. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:39, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I actually want to redirect it to Grand Est instead of deleing it, which I forgot to mention as I thought it's obvious (why I would support deleting a historical name). Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 10:44, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This is Votes for deletion. The most appropriate place to suggest a redirect is Talk:Alsace-Lorraine. Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:11, 22 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty much neutral on whether it should be kept as an extra region or turned into a redirect, but am opposed to deletion. Pashley (talk) 09:57, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

While it is true that a redirect should be discussed on the article's talk page, we ended up discussing it here. I see no point in repeating the discussion there. There appears to be a consensus to redirect the article, so i will do that tomorrow unless there is any objection. Ground Zero (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Outcome: kept, and redirected to Grand Est. Ground Zero (talk) 15:44, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

It's not strictly a vote for deletion, but I thought I would nominate my own created article for discussion, as it seems like a recreation of the previous Western world article deleted as per Wikivoyage:Votes_for_deletion/December_2020#Western_world. However, my article does not exactly qualify for speedy deletion, since my article is more traveller-centric and intended to cover the term "the West" as encountered by non-Western travellers. They might be interested to know about Western culture, travel the West, etc. Plus, despite its deletion, the terms "West" and "Western" are widely used in Russia, Ukraine, India, and other articles for the Western Europe+North America+Oceania stack, thus needing an article to briefly explain that meaning. However, as I encounter a 2020 VFD already, I think this article needs to be discussed for an updated consensus. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 11:28, 1 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but move to "The West" without a redirect It doesn't have anything to say about the compass point as a direction of travel, and the current title just confuses readers looking for any of the other destinations starting with "West". AlasdairW (talk) 19:35, 4 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds right to me. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:05, 4 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a good solution. Pashley (talk) 01:53, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Move to the West, but leave a redirect or a disamb Purplebackpack89 01:55, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — I want to avoid a dab page under West as the original dab page was deleted as part of Wikivoyage:Votes for deletion/July 2021#Cardinal point disambiguations (10 pages). So that's why I created West as an extraregion and East as a redirect to Asia. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 03:09, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Ikan Kekek and Pashley. I oppose any articles, redirects, or disambiguation pages from ompass points. Move West to The West without a redirect, and delete East. Ground Zero (talk) 03:12, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

East could be made "The East" by analogy. "The Orient" should possibly also be a disambiguation. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:43, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Come to think of it, "Far East" is the appropriate redirect, and not for Asia but for East Asia. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:44, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, for a lot of the same reasons that Western world was deleted. This isn't really a travel article. Of the small amount of content that is actually travel advice, most is overgeneralized and/or not unique to the West. —Granger (talk · contribs) 03:59, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  At least one delete !vote I got for this. I thought it could act as a portal for those interested in visiting "the West", with links to actual travel articles. I tried framing it as travel-oriented as much as possible while not sounding like an encyclopedia article. It's not exactly overgeneralization, as many Western countries indeed impose severe travel/immigration restrictions on "third-world" countries, but not always the opposite. Also, even if the article is deleted, the use of "West" and "Western" in countries like Russia should be addressed, as this article is there to explain the meaning. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 04:10, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  There's some very gross and distorting overgeneralization. Do you think the problem in the U.S. is that right-wing Christianity is too weak? Is the U.S. part of "The West"? Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:43, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  If the overgeneralization cannot be fixed, it needs to be deleted, but I think the article could be useful, à la Travel in developing countries but much shorter, only somewhat longer than at present. –LPfi (talk) 14:51, 8 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I like Alasdair's solution, move to "The West" without a redirect, for this one.

But there are a lot of complications here, arguably a slippery slope. "East" & "West" were used in rather different senses during the Cold War & there are other terms -- "Far East", "Eastern Bloc", "Orient", "Third World", "Global South" & likely some I have not thought of -- that all arguably rate redirects or some sort of disambiguation or extra region article. Pashley (talk) 06:46, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Christendom? Dar-al-Islam? Pashley (talk) 06:52, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

We do have articles like Latin America & Tropics & Sub-Saharan Africa is a redirect that survived a vfd attempt. Pashley (talk) 07:12, 5 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Done – moved to The West with no redirect. //shb (t | c | m) 23:43, 25 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they look like page-creation vandalism to me. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:06, 26 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for 1 day to facilitate speedy deletion. This is a long-term abuse vandal at this point. I don't think we should play this deletion request out for 14 days. Mass delete. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:11, 26 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Their sock has also been blocked for 1 day. We need to block these vandals permanently on sight. I hope there are no objections. If we are soft in the brain and refuse to have a consensus about this, the blocks of these and any other socks need to be extended during any discussion. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:16, 26 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Ikan Kekek: I've blocked Ur Mortimer, Botswano and Lesothe, Kohngo, Botswanie, Botswane and Lesothe, all of which are 100% confirmed per a CU check. I've nuked all their single letter typo redirects per precedent from the Vienna, austria, discussion. //shb (t | c | m) 06:52, 26 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Now a redirect for Food and drink, rather than Hungary, as it was previously. Is it really useful? Should we then redirect "Tired" to Sleep? I doubt it. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:57, 26 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Done – it was agreed upon (albeit barely) that a redirect to food and drink wouldn't be helpful. This redirect was created in spite of that VfD discussion, thus eligible for speedy deletion. //shb (t | c | m) 06:59, 26 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I'd support immediate deletion. We don't have redirects for any other political parties or terrorist organizations I can think of. Why would we want to gratuitously promote any? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:28, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The Hamas is especially important for travellers to the Gaza Strip, as it's the group that controls the territory, just like the Taliban would redirect to Afghanistan. I don't know if redirects of terrorist groups are harmful for travellers or not (per ttcf), and I would find it important. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 09:34, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

There is no need to have a redirect for these names in order to cover the details on how to travel to and stay in these places. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:36, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted it. It isn't a valid travel search term. There are no sites in the Gaza article that are relevant for someone planning a Hamas-themed trip. I don't think Wikivoyage can or should help someone who is looking to do that. Ground Zero (talk) 09:39, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for deleting the redirect. I will refrain from creating such redirects in the future. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 09:41, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really want this term to have a redirect on this site? What do you all think? It seems tasteless to me, and it's at least worth a discussion. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:36, 28 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
