Talk:Bo Sang

Smells of copvio and is outside the scope. Hobbitschuster (talk) 23:41, 11 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Speedy redirect to Chiang Mai. We don't delete real places. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 00:07, 12 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete It is about a past event that definitely is not important enough to have its own page. I am not sure that this is the correct spelling of the place - should the page not be Bosang (no space) - see scanned printed programme. I think that the "don't delete real places" should only apply when somebody has started a real travel guide page about a place. AlasdairW (talk) 00:11, 12 March 2018 (UTC)


 * That's not how we've generally interpreted that policy. The salient question is, how likely a search term is Bo Sang/Bosang? The fact that there is a handicrafts festival that takes place there is an additional argument in favor of redirecting rather than deleting. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 00:15, 12 March 2018 (UTC)


 * That is how we've treated copyvio articles. I think this is an obvious copypasta. Delete. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:25, 12 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Redirect I'm not at all sure the redirect is needed, but it solves the problem, does no harm & may help searches. Pashley (talk) 02:00, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chiang Mai per the merger suggestion of Traveler100. I'm not sure if it is a copyvio but it might be worth revision deleting as a precaution. Green Giant (talk) 17:13, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
 * If the article were titled Bo Sang Umbrella and Sankamphaeng Handicraft Festival, it would be acceptable to redirect it to a "Festivals & exhibitions" subsection. But Bo Sang itself is not a festival or event - it's a place name. As such, policy says it should be redirected to Chiang Mai, and a listing for the festival is what should be placed in Chiang Mai. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 20:45, 14 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Result - redirected to Chiang Mai. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 14:26, 25 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Question - Is our policy no longer to delete copypasta articles? Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:43, 25 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't believe deleting copypasta articles (as opposed to copypasta itself) was ever a policy in the first place. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 01:29, 26 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm now seeing on Deletion policy that it is; my mistake. I still think Bo Sang is a valuable redirect, though, so I will likely recreate it after deleting the original. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 01:32, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
