Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 December 18

Killarney – Procedural Close; question was about pieces of content, not a deleted article. – UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 14:15, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.

Dear Administrator: I added two sections to the KILLARNEY article under the subheadings History of the Land and History of Tourism in Killarney. The first, I believe, is a very readable human story and concerns the lands which later became the Muckross National Park. The second gives the history of tourism, with a fleeting overview of the history of all tourism, but naming how things were in Killarney in 1846 and 1854. This would be of interest to anyone. It is noted by some editor that the Tourism section is outdated and someone else has said it seems (in Wikipedia) to be a town without a history. I agree that the entire article is parochial in layout and content. People opening up a page on Killarney want to be told substantial history and not of people and events of a purely local nature. I first uploaded just a little on the hotels in Killarney and the single one on the Ring of Kerry. DMOL deleted it and said the hotels on the ring had no relevance. This time in carefully researched sections I showed the relevance, so DMOL deleted both sections. My research is referenced in no less than seven books, four of which predate 1900. If you can spare the time to read those sections in the entry of early December 18th I guarantee you will not be bored or disappointed. I shall be very grateful if you can revert DMOL's deletions permanently if you consider the case justified. Many thanks and Kindest regards.

yours faithfully

DRV concerns itself with deletion discussion concerning the complete content of an article, not the individual pieces of content within an article which is considered an editorial decision (What you've got is termed a "content dispute"). You aren't the first and won't be the last to not be aware of the difference, so it's not a big problem listing here, but we aren't going to be able to solve the dispute for you. The normal way that such problems are dealt with however is by editors discussing the issue amoungst themselves on the articles talk page - in this case that's Talk:Killarney. If you go there you'll see that User:Dmol has already attempted to open that discussion, by listing the content removed and the reason behind it. Note Dmol hasn't said that all you've added is invalid, and in that discussion specifically entertains that some of what you've added may indeed be usable - "I've copied so that we can reach consensus regarding what should stay and how it should be presented". So I suggest you start by discussing there with those interested. If you still aren't happy with the outcome there are various other forms of dispute resolution (follow this link), such as asking for neutral third party input. --82.19.4.7 (talk) 13:22, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As discussion is now proceeding at the articles talk page, I guess this can probably be closed. --82.19.4.7 (talk) 09:12, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
