Guide status?

As mentioned in Wikivoyage:Destination of the month candidates/Slush pile#Doetinchem, this article seems to meet the criteria for guide level. Would an upgrade make sense? /Yvwv (talk) 12:58, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Support, being the person that suggested it in the first place. The article can do with more images, but it seems a-okay for guide article as it sits. Wauteurz (talk) 15:32, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Voor (Support) per above. SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta.wikimedia) 22:57, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

• Comment: This article looks good, and I did some copy editing, but my only reservation is that the "Buy" section is a little weak. Where is the open-air book market? Since it's 6 km long, I guess maybe you really can't miss it and if anything, the streets that are mentioned might be just a bit harder to find, but someone could look for them all on the map.

  @Ikan Kekek: I've added what I could find about the book market. Perhaps it would be worthwhile to name some of the larger permanent bookshops and antiquaries as well? If my experience with record shops in Deventer is anything to go by, then there'll be both amazing and terrible shops, so doing some recommendations out of the dozen of bookshops might be beneficial to give travellers a bit of an overview? -- Wauteurz (talk) 12:23, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

That would definitely be a good service for visitors, absolutely. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:55, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Looking at Wikivoyage:City article status, I see it's actually silent on the "Buy" section. In any case, it seems clear that this article fulfills the criteria for guide status, so I'd also support it for Off the Beaten Path, knowing that the Buy section will be better whenever we feature the article.
