Talk:Draft:Urhobo

Understand
The content of this section is interesting but seems encyclopedic and copy-pasted with slight paraphrasing from somewhere. Could we please make the section more travel-focused and summarize other interesting background without necessarily going into full-blown coverage of facets of life like the details of their administrative system? AmyCutie, you seem to be knowledgeable about Urhobo. Would you like to try your hand at this? Any thoughts about what's likely to have most impact on visitors?

Is Urhobo a town or an ethnic group?
Hello AmyCutie, Is Urhobo a town or an ethnic group, Or is it both? I just wanted to be sure. Timmylegend (talk) 11:12, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * A search result of "Urhobo town" only comes up with Urhobo people. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 11:17, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I had been wondering this a few days ago and did some research. It appears from the street names and such mentioned here that Urhobo may be southwest of Ejeba, on the west side of Warri. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 11:39, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * (Marker #4 seems to have been put in that location since, confirming my suspicion.) --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 11:40, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
 * But are all the coords right? SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 11:50, 29 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Good day, it might suffice to say that Urhobo has a dual status as a town as well as an ethnic group in Delta state of Nigeria.
 * Warm regards. —The preceding comment was added by AmyCutie (talk • contribs)


 * Great. Please try to make as clear as possible whether you're referring to the town or ethnic group in each case, when there might be some ambiguity. Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:01, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

 * After making further findings and asking questions, I discovered that there is no Urhobo town, it's an ethnic group in Delta State, Nigeria. The article is misleading and might confuse travellers. I removed content in the Understand section because it was encyclopedic in nature, talks about the Urhobo ethnic group and is not important to a traveller or tourist. Kindly check through the Warri article to confirm my claims, as some listings in the sleep and eat section of the Urhobo article mentions some places like Effurun that are also listed in the Warri article. The article mostly contains information about Ekurede Urhobo which seems to be a part of Warri. A search on google map or google earth shows an extensive built-up area that makes up Warri city.

I would suggest that the article be moved to draft or deleted or moved to Ekurede Urhobo if it's worthy of an article. Timmylegend (talk) 11:14, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Alternatively we could merge and redirect with Warri as both seem to be the same town/city. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 11:45, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I suggest merging it to Warri. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 11:58, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅. While I get that this is quite unusual, this is actually quite common in Australia (e.g. Tjuntjuntjara being a town, but the people who live there are also called the Tjuntjuntjara) SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 12:04, 30 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Agreed. I will add a merge template. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 15:53, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Merged. Towns that don't exist almost never get their own articles. But it seems to be a notable ethnic group, so I've gone ahead without a vfd. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | en.wikipedia) 11:19, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
