K7L created and redirected this page, but it's redirecting to a joke article, so I think it's quite obvious that we should delete it. Selfie City (talk) 21:34, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Most of our 1 April pieces have the name (in mainspace) redirect to the archived joke (in project space). The restriction is that individual destination articles for real places normally don't link to jokes, ie: Go next: Hell (Hades) as the next stop after Hell (Michigan). The "earth" article is an exception as Earth redirects to destinations - a main index which is not a joke. This was mostly done by design when the April jokes were moved out of mainspace (where they existed pre-WT split) into project space. I'd only created this one upon seeing that a user on Wikivoyage talk:Joke articles had proposed creating the article... and we already have it. K7L (talk) 22:08, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Keep - I see no harm in directing readers to one of our better joke articles. Anything that gets people interested in contributing to the next one (and therefore to Wikivoyage) is a good thing. --ThunderingTyphoons! (talk) 22:24, 11 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
