[edit] Northern Venice

Northern Venice (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

A mere grouping of three places in northern Venice? Which it.... isn't... I confess I don't understand the idea of this page. No response as of yet from the creator, and he or she was messaged only 1 minute after the article was created. SGGH speak! 17:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment - I guess it means that these three cities all claim to be "The Venice of the North", because they all have canals, or at least water... Birmingham, England should join the list (more miles of canals than Venice), and probably other places. There could be an article based on this, I suppose, but it would need to add some meat and not just look like a DAB page; and "Venice of the North" would be a much less confusing title.

  • Delete - original research that forgets Brugge! —TreasuryTag talkcontribs 18:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete or, as a pis aller, redirect. A dab page Venice of the North already exists, of which this is an incomplete duplicate. Deor (talk) 20:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - a second-rate substitute for the existing Venice of the North, and an improbable version of the title, not worth making into a redirect. JohnCD (talk) 20:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - looks like WP:OR to me, as well as not being encyclopaedic. Cloudz679 (talk) 22:24, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete incomplete duplicate of the "Venice of the North" page, with possibly misleading title. --Snigbrook (talk) 01:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - Just by the title, I thought it meant Mestre and was going to suggest a merge. But simply a list of other European cities with absolutely no context? --Oakshade (talk) 17:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
