VfD

This file was nominated for deletion on 8 July 2013 but was kept. The deletion debate is here. Please consider that decision before you re-nominate it.

• Keep. Less than a month old & created by User:Saqib who knows what he is doing. Pashley (talk) 22:26, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
• redirect (or delete) --Andyrom75 (talk) 22:35, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
• Speedy keep. Lack of content (even a complete lack) is not a deletion rationale. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 23:50, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete. Q: Can You Sleep There? That is, are there any types of accommodation open to the public: hotels, hostels, campgrounds, cabins, wigwams, yurts, space station bunks, etc. If a place, such as a national park, has no facilities, but has rules for pitching a tent in the wilderness, that can work too. A: No. And never likely to be either. --W. Frank^e-mail_talk 00:20, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
• KEEP, now I have been educated by the comments here. --W. Frank^e-mail_talk 00:07, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

This is a region ("Diamir District") set up as a city article, and as a region, it most certainly does have plenty of places to stay. The capital of the district is Chillas, which currently redirects here (and I don't know if it should be a separate article). LP lists 7 hotels in Chillas. Texugo (talk) 00:39, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

There have been complications around division & district articles in Pakistan; see Talk:Pakistan#Division_and_district_articles. Saqib is Pakistani & was part of those discussions. I'm very strongly inclined to just trust his judgment in creating this one. Pashley (talk) 01:57, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

W. Frank, you may want to refer back to LtPowers' commentary regarding the sleep test on the archived VfD nomination for Middlefield (Connecticut):

"The sleep test is not 'Is there lodging available here?'; it's 'Is this the type of place in which one would typically expect to find accommodations?' In other words, it is intended to distinguish between destinations and attractions, not to separate certain destinations from other destinations. Manhattan/Central Park is a valid article even though there are no hotels in the park."

and, regarding the text of wiaa as quoted by you:

"That wording dates only to September; prior to that the text was clear that it was a test to distinguish between destinations and attractions, not between good-destinations and bad-destinations."

• Keep. I wasn't aware of this deletion nomination. Frank, there're few hotels in Diamer district if not many. Haven't you heard of recent Nanga Parbat tourist shooting which killed nine foreign tourist while they were staying in a hotel in Diamer? BTW, this area is quite popular with trekkers and mountaineers. --Saqib (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Consensus: Kept. --Saqib (talk) 00:49, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
