User talk:AlasdairW/One day in Hong Kong

Vfd
Another personal itinerary of the type which we are to avoid. It has long been tagged with merge, but there is not really much of anything to merge that isn't already covered in the main articles. Thus, there is no reason to keep this for attribution since nothing has been merged, and it's not a reasonable search term, so a redirect is not really appropriate.

 * Keep. The sights in this itinerary may be listed elsewhere, but Hong Kong is a huge city which is often visited for short stopovers. Why should a traveller have to spend half a day reading all our district articles, just to plan what to do on a one day stopover? This itinerary visits a good variety of Hong Kong sights, and is much more varied than most people would put together from reading our listings. It is only really lacking a map.

 * Comment I believe that people who have a 1 day stopover in Hong Kong would be simply too overwhelmed by the main Hong Kong article to get much meaningful out of their visit, and I see this article as a good way to address that. It does need a map however. Andrewssi2 (talk) 05:17, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
 * After carefully looking at the policy again, I would say this has to be deleted. I feel that there probably should be a way to accommodate this kind of personal itinerary, although as it stands today there isn't. Andrewssi2 (talk) 04:42, 8 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment Perhaps one of you could volunteer to have the article moved to your user space in case there is a determination to delete this article on the basis of policy. I should say that I don't feel impelled to take a pro or con position on this article, myself. It's a nice article and a Usable itinerary with nice photographs, so one could argue that an exception could be made for it, as in the case of Three days in Singapore, but I would observe that this is just one way you could spend a day in Hong Kong and, therefore, it is seemingly a personal itinerary, exactly as Texugo says.

 * I am happy for this to be moved to my user space if the decision is to delete. I don't know when I will next have a stopover in Hong Kong (my last was in 2001), but I could make use of this itinerary when I do. If it is being kept, I hope to add a dynamic map.

 * Keep - this page might use more work (POI markers, map, etc.), but I find it very useful, as for all other large city articles where complete district articles is one thing, but guiding a casual tourist without weeks to explore every nook and cranny (and days to digest our filled-to-the-brim district guides) is another thing.
