[edit] Balvanyos

An ad for a spa in Transylvania, not likely to be notable. Delete. Grandmasterka 08:28, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but rewrite, removing by far the most of the details. Spas and hotels are generally notable, and "Balvanyos + spa" gets over 76000 Google hits. The current contents are blatant advertising, though. JIP | Talk 09:22, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment: Would you consider doing the rewrite yourself? If not please consider whether voting to keep, rather than delete, the article currently serves Wikipedia better. Zunaid 13:15, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I tried to, but all Google hits for "Balvanyos" turned out to be some kind of hotel booking sites. One of those I tried didn't even find hotels in the same country - the nearest was in Italy. I could, of course, simply remove all the advertising, but that would only leave the first paragraph, which would only tell where Balvanyos is and not establish any notability. Even the Romanian Wikipedia doesn't have an article about this. I'm changing my vote to weak delete. JIP | Talk 18:51, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I'm changing my vote again to keep as rewritten by Grutness. Thanks! JIP | Talk 08:27, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless rewritten, blatant ad. Far too many articles survive AfD on "keep and rewrite" without the rewrite subsequently taking place. Will gladly change my vote if article is rewritten before this AfD closes. Otherwise it could always be recreated later in a much better form. Zunaid 13:15, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Would like to change vote to keep following Grutness' excellent rewrite, however notability now seems like a major concern. There is nothing in the article to indicate importance, thus there is no support for it's being kept. Weak delete unfortunately. Zunaid 08:05, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as advertisement. Elfguy 14:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment: Such a shame. Balvanyos seems like a very notable place in Romania, and if someone could write a good Wikipedia article, then it would definitely deserve a place in Wikipedia. Unfortunately, it seems no one can, not me anyway. I only heard about the place when I saw this AfD. Maybe in summer I'll buy a travel guide, maybe even actually go to the damn place. It'd be my first time in Romania and all that. It's just so damned hard to find out anything about Balvanyos except how to book hotels there. JIP | Talk 22:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I've tidied it up and removed the infotainment quotient. Looks like a reasonable basis for a real article now. Grutness...wha? 23:16, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten by Grutness. Well done to hime for the rewrite. Capitalistroadster 23:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Great job on the rewrite by Grutness. Crypticfirefly 05:50, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
