If page like Tourism in London can exit on Wikipedia, what's wronge with the information for smaller cities. Kind regards, -- Baroda Boy 13:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
While I see what your point is, the two articles have a fundamental difference -- Tourism in London article is simply an overview of the tourism in London, and is really just an add-on to the London article, noting some of the historical places in London. Your article is much more indepth however, and is written in a similar fashion to a travel guide, which is not suitable for wikipedia. See no.2 here. Maybe that can answer your question.

  • Delete as per nom, it reads like a travel guide and is not a travel guide. Plm209(talk • contribs) 12:39, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Most of this is already in the Vadodara article. The 'excursions' section is completely unnecessary, that is travel guide material. If there was a "WikiTravelGuide", this might be appropriate, but not here. Brianyoumans 19:29, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
But wait, there is a wikitravel, at wikitravel.org.
  • Transwiki to wikitravel. Capmango 02:21, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Last time I saw the information on it, Wikitravel had a different kind of license for contributions than Wikipedia does, so I'm not sure that a straight-out transwiki would work. The original author should have a look at the Wikitravel entry for the location and see what can be added to it from this article, though. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 04:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The information in the article is very useful, but it's not encyclopedic. I would advise the creator to move the content to Wikitravel's Vadodara travel guide. utcursch | talk 08:15, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
