[edit] Hospitality

The subject of this article is unencyclopedic. Ryan Delaney talk 13:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete as nominator. --Ryan Delaney talk 13:51, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless completely rewritten. bogdan 13:54, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, as not a traditional (or it seems, desirable) encyclopedia topic. -- Fuzheado | Talk 14:00, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Xenia (Greek), the current article has nothing worth saving, so I wouldn't object to a delete. But, maybe the redirect would be slightly better: Xenia means hospitality, and a user might go to Hospitality looking for it. -- Rmrfstar 14:18, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete apparent original research. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 14:29, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete in current form. Is there an article on the Hospitality Industry though? Dan 18:01, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strongly Oppose Deletion: As it is, the article is a mere collection of Bible passages, but this could be a starting point for a better article; I'd never give up hope. Hospitality is an important subject for en encyclopedia; after all, it is an important cultural value, less so today and in the West perhaps, but much more in Oriental countries (and in Greece, obviously). If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the Taliban did not want to hand over Osama bin Laden to the U.S. before the Afghanistan War was precisely because he was their guest... Furthermore, I plan to expand Louis Massignon's view of hospitality.--Robin.rueth 21:16, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete looks like Christian advertising. Might be worth a mention as part of a larger article. Needs more historical references than just the bible. Atrian 03:38, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Wikipedia needs an article on the various concepts of hospitality, even if this article does not even begin to cover it adequately. -Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 05:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect' to Xenia (Greek) per Rmrfstar. Chick Bowen 00:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. Yes this needs a cleanup but not deletion. It should not be redirected to Xenia (Greek) since that article links here, there must be a reason for that. Linking to Xenia (Greek) will confuse most readers since that article will make no sense at all to them. Vegaswikian 08:29, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep Make this a disambig page. Create two other articles Hospitality industry (to mirror Food industry a and other industries) and Hospitality (culture) that discusses Middle Eastern(Arab) rules of hospitality, Greek hospitality (Xenia is Greek hospitality, but not neccessarily norms that arabs follow), and any other hospitality norms that differ in various world cultures. Rationale is that hospitality as an industry is an unassailable fact (hotels, restaurants, etc.) and that hospitality as a cultural norm is established sociological phenomenon that people study and write papers about reference 1 reference 2 MPS 17:51, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
