The result was delete per WP:NOR, but moved to User:Sethnessatwikipedia/Dive sites of saipan to ease a possible transwiki. They seem to be the only substantial contributor, so I don't see many problems with transwikiing and relicencing the content there. Sandstein 21:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dive sites of saipan

Dive sites of saipan (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

A very interesting article, with a lovely photo. Sadly, it's all original research. The comment from the author in the Edit Summary when he created the page confirms he has written it from his own experience of diving in this area. Jules 17:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Trans Wiki Well written but not appropriate for Wikipedia. Move it to Wikitravel. --Daniel J. Leivick 18:06, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
    • It can't simply be moved to Wikitravel because their license (CC-BY-SA) is incompatible with Wikipedia's (GFDL). the wub "?!" 02:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Trans Wiki by encouraging original contributer to move content himself. Then Delete. --Selket Talk 06:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and provide sources. Fg2 00:53, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and move to Wikitravel if possible. Wikipedia is not a Rough Guide. Nuttah68 15:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm the original author. Not sure how to recopy an article to Wikitravel. They have a Saipan page, but nothing like a "dive sites of Saipan" page. Will try to make one. Article is based on several years' pro experience on Saipan-- and a bit of tourist literature. Sorry for the breach of Wikipedia etiquette. Live and learn. Same defects may apply to my dive descriptions for Palau and Guam.Sethnessatwikipedia 09:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
