Talk:Coconut Beach Badagry

Article or listing?
Does this attraction really need its own article, or should it just be a listing in the Badagry article? I'd say, unless there's a whole bunch of additional content to add, it should just be a listing. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:46, 23 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree. Individual beaches don't merit their own articles unless the there's a town based on that beach (something like Sydney/Palm Beach). SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 21:50, 23 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Semmy1960, what do you think about this? Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:32, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, Semmy1960 has also created Ikogosi Warm Springs before which also fails wiaa. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 07:47, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Well we are working on Wiki Voyage transportation project and it was listed as part of the articles to be created. The only thing i observed about the article is that it is not far from Sultan beach. What ever you think is right is okay by me. Thanks for the information.

 * Semmy1960, where can I see the Wikivoyage Transportation Project? Could you please provide a link? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:25, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * See Nigeria Transportation and Recreation Expedition -- SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 09:30, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Thanks. There are quite a lot of suggested articles on that list that might fail the What is an article test. It's hard for me to know which ones might or might not. A waterfall can merit its own article when it's Victoria Falls, for example. There's a bit of an art to park articles; the question really is how much content could there be if everything that would be interesting and relevant to travellers was included. Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:43, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * It really depends to be fair. To be fair, most New South Wales and Queensland urban national parks would fail wiaa as ordinary urban parks don't get their own articles (except those like Central Park (guide article) or Sydney Harbour National Park (star article)) but our policy allows it so...
 * I'd say let's see how this one goes. If it develops into a usable article, keep it, if not, merge it into Badagry. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 09:48, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The question is whether there is much more content to add. Semmy1960, would you say there is? Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:55, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I am working on it. will see if there is. Semmy1960 (talk) 10:17, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * OK, please carry on. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:23, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi guys, there is actually a lot to e added to the article, I was waiting to see if the creator @Semmy1960 would still work on it, if not I will improve it. Thanks for your help guys :) @SHB2000 @Ikan Kekek Edriiic (talk) 13:53, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Great! And Merry Christmas to you if you celebrate. Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:52, 25 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I will work on it. Thanks Semmy1960 (talk) 13:33, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

Merger
There isn't much information here about the beach, so I think it would be more useful for travellers if we merged this into the Badagry article. Ground Zero (talk) 10:57, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * beaches rarely get their own articles unless if a town is based by the beach and we've become more harsher with beaches after the Lake Como beach mass stub creator. SHB2000 (talk &#124; contribs &#124; meta.wikimedia) 11:00, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * It's conceivable though unusual for a beach to get a park article; however, there would have to be a strong justification for that, and a cursory inspection of this beach article shows no such justification, so I completely agree with a merge and redirect per Ground Zero's remarks.

Done. Ground Zero (talk) 21:44, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
