[edit] Historical London travel guide

Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Any encyclopedic material which is added to this article should be added to the articles on the relevant museums etc instead. Alternatively the writer may be interested in contributing to Wikitravel. Bhoeble 01:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

• Transwiki to Wikitravel. Ardric47 04:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Wikitravel is not a Wikimedia project. If the writer wants to post there, let them do the work. Scranchuse 04:25, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Is it somehow incompatible with our license? Ardric47 04:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Wikitravel is a Wikimedia project, but it uses Creative Commons licensing rather than the GFDL, hence we can't transwiki there. Stifle (talk) 21:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

• Don't delete. It is not indescriminate and does not duplicate anything. Bhoeble, if this info was added to individual museum articles, it wouldn't be findable by someone wanted to visit museums with content for a given era. And doesn't the whole notion that this info should be added to individual museum articles contradict the notion that this info is indescriminate? Greg 05:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
  • That argument is a straw man, Greg. Stifle (talk) 21:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as unencyclopaedic. Recommend the author check out Wikitravel. Stifle (talk) 21:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Use Wikitravel instead.--Jusjih 08:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete with strong recommendation to copy/paste to Wikitravel. M1ss1ontomars2k4 02:21, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
