History of surfing

Swept in from the pub

Not sure if History of surfing fits in here or not. I thought it might be a copy-paste but it doesn't seem to be. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 10:03, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

It's not a travel article, and it was put up to promote a resort. I will delete it now. There is already a Surfing article that's a travel topic and another one about Surfing in Indonesia. Any historical background that would be relevant to travelers should be in the Surfing article, without a promotional link. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:07, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Ikan Kekek, no worries, thanks for the response. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 10:14, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Sure thing. Any time you see an "article" that lacks real travel information and has a "Click for more information" link at the end, you can mouse over it to see whether it's promotional. It pretty much always will be, because otherwise, the information, if useful, would have been included in the article. Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:34, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Use {{speedy}} if need be. One of us will then assess whether it passes a speedy or not. --SHB2000 (talk | contribs | meta) 10:35, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
