This article should be merged with the Rila Mountain article in which there should be a section for the monastery (maybe in the See or Destinations parts) because the article does not meet with the requirements of wiki as it is neither a district, nor a city, nor a national park. However, I believe that there should be articles about sights with significant meaning for a people's history and human culture and that are of larger size with more than one sites to see like in the case of the Rila Monastery or The Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, or at least a type of articles that unites destinations of the same type (e.g. Medieval Fortresses in England).

 * All I know about Rila is that it's one of the top non-urban destinations in Bulgaria so I can't really decide, but as recommended at What is an article?, if this monastery is large enough and sufficiently away from a city, it could theoretically have its own article. The Hermitage and the "Medieval Fortresses in England" aren't similar in this regard, since the former is indisputably located in a city that we have an article for, while the latter would be a travel topic, not a destination article. If you think Rila Monastery does not really deserve an article on its own, then I'd suggest adding all relevant info to the article of the nearest city (or creating one if it does not exist), and making this page a redirect as this monastery is a popular site. Or you could even elaborate at Southwest Bulgaria, which currently has some text about the place (in which case this is where the redirect should point to).
 * Unless a national park or somewhere with some sort of importance for tourists/travellers, we don't generally have articles for mountains. Vidimian (talk) 20:41, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
