[edit] Defunct attractions
Instead of removing defunct attractions, how about adding them to a "defunct" section? That way, someone trying to find one which has ceased operation can definitively end the search. —EncMstr 08:04, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What is the limit of "Around" Portland?
Tillamook is listed, is Astoria also valid? I'd like to add Shanghaied_In_Astoria is it is. 198.6.33.13 (talk) 23:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- One point of view is that it should be confined to the metropolitan area, approximately a twenty mile radius. Another is that if a tourist is visiting Portland, how far would they naturally travel for a day outing. In that respect Astoria is well in range. Personally, I favor the former. An article like Tourist attractions suitable for a day trip from Portland, Oregon would contain the latter. —EncMstr 23:30, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- I took Tillamook out. That's a bit far. General consensus is that Portland=Portland, and not things within a 200-mile radius of Portland. There have been several previous discussions about this mattter, but darned if I can find links right now. BTW, do I detect a wee bit of WP:COI in the promotion of this Astoria thing? Just curious.

- Heh, no WP:COI I don't think. Just very bored in work training and trying to make a good article :) 198.6.33.13 (talk) 23:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- For a limit I'd say anything in Mult/Wash/Clack/Clark counties for sure, plus those items on the edges that are just inside the counties surrounding those that are close to the core part of Portland. For instance something to the west of Washington County or east of Clackamas County would be too far (Kah-nee-tah/Camp 18), but just inside Columbia County (probably up to Scappose) would be OK. Northern Marion County OK, as long as it is near I-5. Newberg OK, McMinville a little iffy. Aboutmovies (talk) 00:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
