Talk:Ctesiphon

If this article is expanded with content then I suggest it is moved to Salman Pak. Should have articles on towns not attractions. --Traveler100 (talk) 05:30, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Stub

I know it’s a stub, but I’ll work on it the next time I’m at a computer. Libertarianmoderate (talk) 02:52, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

• Can you sleep there? Ibaman (talk) 14:19, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Not directly there, but it's not a long drive from there to Baqubah and Baghdad (if you survive, anyway). Libertarianmoderate (talk) 15:29, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

• Did you read what's written on this page? Are you, as a Wikivoyage user having read this policy, able to discern whether a destination merits or not its own article? Ibaman (talk) 15:52, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
• That's why I moved the article to Salman Pak. It may not have any hotels, but there's things to do there. —The preceding comment was added by Libertarianmoderate (talk • contribs)

I'm going to redirect this to Baghdad if there's really nowhere to sleep in Salman Pak. According to Google Maps it's not far from Baghdad anyway. Selfie City (talk) 00:07, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Why I undid SelfieCity's edits

@SelfieCity: Salman Pak might not be home to a lot of hotels, but is home to one of the most important sites in Iraq. If you want to delete this article, then we should also delete the articles on Bourbonnais. Bourbonnais isn't home to an important archaeological site or motels, yet it gets an article. Libertarianmoderate (talk) 17:47, 15 August 2018 (UTC) Salman Pak, in theory, has things to do. And Baghdad is nearby, and it has hotels. And Parkland (FL) was approved because some admins said that having hotels nearby was good enough. Libertarianmoderate (talk) 17:52, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

• For the record, I want to express in no uncertain terms that, as I objected to the Parkland FL article creation, I reckon that the creation of an article dedicated to this location with no hotels is objectable as well. Libertarianmoderate has a curious page-creation fever about curious destinations. Sometimes I get amused by this tendency. Sometimes I think it translates in excessive cluttering of Wikivoyage's geographical hierarchy, and that this content should be on the Baghdad page, as all the region's relevant hotels. It's just my opinion, however. Ibaman (talk) 18:04, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

First, as a clarification, I did not delete. I redirected to Baghdad. Also, Libertarianmoderate, let me remind of the importance of the sleep test. I think we should redirect this to Baghdad, as I did in the first place. Selfie City (talk) 01:37, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Name

I do not like the dual title "Ctesiphon and Salman Pak". Certainly Ctesiphon is an important site historically & will be of interest to some travellers, so there should be something at Ctesiphon, if perhaps only a redirect. I'm not sure if Salman Pak deserves an article since you cannot sleep there & apparently there is nothing of interest except Ctesiphon.

I suggest a two-step process:

1. Move this article (back?) to Salman Pak, without a redirect
2. Consider whether to merge & redirect to Ctesiphon. I think we should.

Is there enough potential content to fill an article, or should this be re-redirected to Baghdad as a "Nearby" day trip option? How long does it take to get there from Baghdad? Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:48, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
