[edit] Seldom Seen Roadhouse

I don't see any evidence that this roadhouse is notable, especially because removing the unencyclopedic, basically unverifiable stuff about "tourists who don't know about the other roadhouse", and the general comment about Australia's sparse population, you're left with.. not much.

it is a bit scary that the www.explore-places.com has the text of this apalling quality wikipedia article when you click on their link for the locality.
  • I think it's generally agreed that pubs and restaurants and such do not belong here (they go in Wikitravel, but you can't transwiki there for legal reasons). I fail to see how this one is any different, so weak delete for now. Radiant_* 07:27, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
It is actually not a pub or restaurant but a locality (in the atlas as such) and represented by a petrol station. There are a number of such localities in Australia in isolated spots. This is perhaps notable as being an isolated locality towards the east coast - most such localities are further west.--AYArktos 07:40, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with Wulgulmerang, Victoria. Alphax τεχ 15:55, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
but there is no article on Wulgulmerang to merge with and "Seldom Seen Roadhouse" is a locality too and therefore just as valid an article with perhaps slightly more interest because of its unusual name. I note that locally derived web sites such as a Gelantipy outdoor activity and farm experience business refer to the Seldonm Seen, Gelantipy and Wulgulmerang communities as separate when discussing the bushfires of January 30 2003.--AYArktos 00:40, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • keep real places, AYArktos persuades me that it is one. Kappa 00:22, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
