WP:NOT a travel guide. I imagine that this only duplicates content existing elsewhere, but maybe some of it could be moved to Festivals in Tokyo, for instance Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:09, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

  • This article isn't much of a travel guide. Quoting from WP:NOT#TRAVELGUIDE:An article on Paris should mention landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, but not the telephone number or street address of your favorite hotel or the price of a café au lait on the Champs-Élysées. Wikipedia is not a place to re-create content more suited to entries in hotel guides, culinary guides, popular eating guides, gazeteers, travelogues, and the like. Notable locations may meet inclusion criteria, but Wikipedia does not list every tourist attraction, restaurant, hotel, venue, etc. This article hews very closely to this guideline of sticking to the high-level details, enough so I couldn't plan my vacation with it. Keep. —Quasirandom (speak) 20:50, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • This article isn't much of a travel guide. Competence -- or lack thereof -- isn't the issue, intent is: a listing of tourist spots in Tokyo, ergo it's a travel guide. --Calton | Talk 13:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
keep per Quasirandom. Chris (クリス) (talk) 20:59, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Quasirandom. Tim Q. Wells (talk) 21:17, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and cleanup. Nominator seems not to fully understand what is meant by Wikipedia is not a travel guide.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 21:39, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep as a perfectly good article, per HisSpaceResearch et al. Bearian'sBooties (talk) 22:57, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep You imagine this article duplicates content existing elsewhere? As others have stated above, even if you had bothered to check this claim, this is the sort of problem that is solved by editing, not deletion. --Canley (talk) 23:04, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep per the same reasons as the Tourism in Japan AfD discussion above. Perfectly legitimate article, that is not a travel guide, this is not a WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. Mr Senseless (talk) 23:13, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep The article is not a travel guide, and being a travel guide is the only reason the nominator gave for deletion. Fg2 —Preceding comment was added at 05:45, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep Well, this acticle is important. Why should it be deleted? Masterpiece2000 (talk) 10:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Because Wikikpedia ISN'T a travel guide, which this article actually is? --Calton | Talk 13:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and start again. As it stands, it IS blatantly a travel guide and NOT an article about tourism in Tokyo. --Calton | Talk 13:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - The argument for deletion is not that the subject doesn't belong, but that the article as it currently stands is in poor quality. This isn't a valid argument for deletion. We just need to improve the article. matt91486 (talk) 14:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
