[edit] Travel website
Article is unsourced WP:OR and is already covered by Category:Travel websites. Torc2 08:44, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and Redirect page to Travel agency The article Travel agency already has description about such websites. Not necessary to repeat. Chris! ct 23:11, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and Redirect to Travel agency as it is repetitious of material found on that article.--Chef Christopher Allen Tanner, CCC 20:59, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep and Improve The supposedly superior section in Travel agency is titled "The Internet threat" - hardly an example of NPOV. I will attmept to find references to justify a stand alone article. UnitedStatesian 15:25, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - That section of travel agency does need improvement, but that doesn't justify the existence of this article. Having an article on as vague a concept as travel website is like having an article on music website - what do you mean? Music reviews? Music retailers? Artists' websites? It's far too vague to warrant an article. Torc2 21:55, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
- Well, in fact there is an article Online music store, which has survived an AfD. The question is, would a user think to go to a paragraph buried in the long travel agency article to find out about the history and business model of companies like Expedia? If you can think of a better name, I'd love to hear it. UnitedStatesian 14:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- Online music store is a much clearer and more specific topic than music website, and even that was challenged. The appropriate place for this is someplace like Computer reservations system or as a section in travel agency - and yes, people would look for it there if it was appropriately marked. "Travel website" doesn't sufficiently describe whether a site is an online airline ticket retailer, a rental car agency, or shared photos from somebody's trip to Ohio.

- Keep. Unsourced, yes, but verifiable, and it's hardly OR. I see no reason to delete; this is a separate topic from travel agency; they could be combined but I see no reason to force the issue. Mangojuicetalk 20:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

That's not original research? Torc2 20:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)"Travel booking is one of the largest e-commerce business on the web, for three reasons. First, travel bookings do not require any non-electronic fulfillment, such as is required in the shipment of physical goods. Second, the wide variety of travel options means there is a high value in creating comparisons..."
