Surf breaks in Israel

edit

Delete Let's see... Unencyclopedic. Is it meant to be a directory of surf spots? That's not allowed either. A very strange aricle. BTW, and by way of disclosure, they tell me that "apparently there is a whole class of 'surf breaks' articles". Wow!... - CrazyRussian talk/email 01:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, unencyclopedic... doesn't WikiTravel deal with this sort of thing? - Motor (talk) 08:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: This article has the same kind of content and format of all other "Surf breaks by country", why only this one is being considered for deletion? By the way, the information contained on it has nothing to do with history or religion, it´s is just an article that says that it is possible to surf in Israel. That’s all. - Castilho 02:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not delete: It is possible to practice surf in Israel. This is a fact. Refer to Surf or Surfing; - Castilho 03:59, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unencyclopedic. It's simply a list of unnotable surf spots with no info besides the list. If there's a Surfing in Israel article, then it could be incorporated into that, or, per Rianna, into Tourism in Israel. — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk 17:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggestion I invite you to visit the section "Famous surf breaks" on the article Surfing and to add an AfD on each one of the articles listed there. Or more simply, perhaps we can classify the whole information about Surfing as unencyclopedic and delete this useless article too. And so on until there is nothing left. The other option is to try to improve the existing articles instead of deleting them (isn’t what wikipedia is about?)- Castilho , 22 June 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment Hmmm, I didn't know that there were other similar articles. Some of them seem encyclopedic, like the Surf Breaks in the U.S. article (with information more than just a list), but many are in worse shape than this one. If this article can be expanded upon like the U.S. article (but with sources, which the U.S. one lacks), then it should be kept. Until then, though, it's probably better to merge into Tourism in Israel until there's enough information to split off. — ዮም (Yom) | contribs • Talk 18:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per Riana, at least in the interim. Seems to be valuable, verifiable information that should be kept somewhere. If there are a whole sluagh of "Surf breaks in. . ." articles, I'd also suggest moving the lot of them to something less jargony, like "Surfing beaches in. . ." or "Surfing sites . . ." Here in Indiana we don't know "surf breaks". Smerdis of Tlön 18:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge this article is correctly labled as a stub and seems to hold some valuable information. I don't think that the information can be expanded upon very much, but it should be added to a larger directory.--Cocopuffberman 23:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: The link have been removed from the article surfing. There are no surfing spots in Israel anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mcastilho (talk • contribs)
    • Comment, this is the user who created the article and commented earlier with the signature "Castilho". Note: I don't believe that anyone thinks the information is useless... just that it does not justify its own article and would be better placed either within the surfing article, or (in my opinion) possibly on something like Wikitravel. - Motor (talk) 12:56, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep ROFL are you kidding me? This AfD should be moved to BJAODN! Teppupkcos 22:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
