Short depiction and not create page standard.--✈ IGOR ／ ✉ TALK?! ．WIKIVOYAGER ! 05:37, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from Wikivoyage:Votes for undeletion, because it was obviously intended to be here. Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:52, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, merge, or redirect. We generally try to avoid deleting articles about real places on Wikivoyage. Instead we either keep them, merge with a better article, or redirect to a better article. I'm personally not sure what is the best option at this point. Also, just so you know in future, you should add {{vfd}} to pages you nominate for deletion. Thanks! --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 12:53, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect both. Pashley (talk) 16:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Where would you redirect it? --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 17:48, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is maybe one building, if it is still there at all. A search of GNIS says it is or was a roadhouse on the trail to Nome. As far as I can tell it has never been anything more than that, and given that I can find no current information whatsoever it is likely that it is no longer in operation as a roadhouse (most people fly rather tha use dog sleds these days so that's not surprising). There is simply nothing to say about this place so it shouldn't have a page. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:52, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to where? Nurg (talk) 08:41, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The region name or Iditarod Trail. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 19:44, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but the page creator was clearly not a PCV. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 22:33, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know that it matters what the page creator's intentions were. The dot-on-a-map rule not only exists to deter page-creation vandals, but also because redirects are only useful inasmuch as they're plausible search terms. For instance, a small town that doesn't exactly have nothing to offer a traveller, but which doesn't have enough to fill out an entire article, is a good candidate to be converted to a redirect. But a ghost town consisting of two very likely abandoned buildings, with no amenities or points of interest, that's not on a major route and that's exceedingly difficult even to find information about on Google? No one is going to be searching for that. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 15:21, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You're forgetting, however, its apparent connection to the Iditarod Trail, as made clear in the article, which makes it more important. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 21:04, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bingo. Looks like I found a building or two on ZoomEarth. But we don't need an article, if that really is Walla Walla. --Comment by Selfie City (talk | contributions) 21:05, 13 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I went to that coordinates on Google Maps and I couldn't see anything but grass and a few white spots. I don't know if the white spots are buildings, but even if they are, we still don't need an article since even Google Maps doesn't mark out that place. Also, I searched "Walla Walla alaska" on Google and beside the Wikivoyage page, there's no information at all and everything the search engine gave me is about the Walla Walla in Washington. Then, I did another search at Wikipedia and there's not even a mention of this place. So obviously, there's no use at all for keeping. (Edit: I don't see any connection between Walla Walla and Iditarod, since even the Iditarod trail's official website doesn't give any mention to Walla Walla.) The SmileKat40!

Sorry, I take that back, I just found a mention of Walla Walla on the Iditarod Trail's official website. It said, there's a cabin at Walla Walla if the weather is bad. I still don't see any reason for keeping considering the difficulty to get information about it and probably there's just a cabin or two in Walla Walla for the dog sled race. The SmileKat40!

It exists so don't delete, but it is insignificant so redirect to Iditarod Trail. Pashley (talk) 14:52, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
