Talk:List of beaches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article was nominated for deletion on 4 June 2008. The result of the discussion was keep.

I'd really like to see a brief summary of what each beach offers, e.g. maybe just have a line of text, so they'd still all be one-liners, but just so we know what's available.

I added Toronto's Woodbine Bathing Station in this way, i.e. that they have windsurfer rentals, beach volleyball nets setup, as well as a 50 meter olympic pool.

[edit] Change to a redirect to a category?

I just reverted a change of this article from a redirect to a category (Category:Beaches by country) to its original contents. I' m not really opposed to replacing this article with a category, but I do think there should be some minimum of discussion before removing what a lot of people have contributed towards. In the end, an actual WP:AfD may be best with the suggestion that it be replaced with a redirect. --StuffOfInterest 12:46, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:AFD#Before nominating an AfD: "Consider making the page a useful redirect or proposing it be merged rather than deleted. Neither of these actions requires an AfD." How about discussion here on the talk page instead?

I redirected because the list was mostly not of beaches (I checked every link to see if it needed to be categorized), wasn't as up to date as the cat, isn't automatically alphabetized like the cat, doesnt have the [+] expanding function of the cat, and the cat desn't require an additional page to be edited. -- Jeandré, 2007-08-08t21:23z
