  • No such city. A map only finds a small country road with a crossroads and no services. K7L (talk) 22:56, 26 October 2012 (CEST)
  • Redirect real places to the next-closest or next-biggest destination. LtPowers (talk) 23:35, 26 October 2012 (CEST)
  • Comment: There's nothing to redirect. We have (and will have) no listings for "Toronto Road, Mayfield, Cavendish, Prince Edward Island" as there's actually nothing there to list. K7L (talk) 18:03, 27 October 2012 (CEST)
    • I don't understand what you mean; the title "Toronto (Prince Edward Island)" is what we would redirect. LtPowers (talk) 19:16, 27 October 2012 (CEST)
  • Delete. I know our policy is to merge and redirect, but there's nothing there (it's an intersection in rural PEI) so it's extremely unlikely someone will be searching for it. Our coverage of PEI is so poor, the only thing we could redirect it to is the province article itself. There's also no history or contributions that we need to preserve. It seems a waste to keep the page around, even as a redirect. -Shaund (talk) 02:15, 28 October 2012 (CET)
  • Delete. Pashley (talk) 04:15, 28 October 2012 (CET)
  • Redirect. Someone, at one time thought enough about this place to bother to create a page with a template. --Inas (talk) 12:56, 28 October 2012 (CET)
  • Redirect per Deletion policy. Just as a reminder, the whole point of that policy section is to save us the time of thinking about these trivial things and of going through the vfd process (it doesn't actually matter if it's redirected or deleted). --Peter Talk 22:32, 28 October 2012 (CET)

Result: Moved to Cavendish and Rustico Harbour. Toronto, PEI doesn't warrant an article, but nearby is Cavendish, which is a tourist attraction and should have had an article long ago. -Shaund (talk) 14:27, 1 November 2012 (CET)

  • Delete No clear evidence that this was ever freely licensed. It is watermarked to a Lombok (Mount Rinjani - Indonesia) trekking reseller, it is a possible promotional seed, or just a copyvio, or both. I removed it from both the WV Indonesia and the WV Mount Rinjani articles on 15 nov 2012. It should not be confused with a different file of the same name sitting at http://wts.wikivoyage-old.org/wiki/File:Rinjani.jpg -- Felix (talk) 03:37, 15 November 2012 (CET)
Yes I notice you have just visited the file with a delete notice. It needs to be considered together with this one below. -- Felix (talk) 03:25, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is the same file as the Image:Rinjani.jpg detailed above, it appears to have been uploaded by the same contributor, somewhat connecting this upload with the one bearing the "copyright" watermark, (this version lacks the watermark). -- Felix (talk) 03:25, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A Wikipedia search has turned up nothing. More alarmingly, a Google Map search has turned up nothing; the closest town named Monterey is in the state of Louisiana. I'm really not convinced that this Mississippi town even exists. Eco84 (talk) 23:02, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The Census gazetteer also knows of no such place. LtPowers (talk) 00:56, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect A Google search shows Monterey exists near Florence (not far SE of Jackson, MS). Seen on MapQuest The question becomes whether or not there is accommodation available to meet our requirement. There is also a newspaper article here that mentions a "Monterey" man from Oct 2012. There were also a couple Google hits for Monterey Water and Monterey Volunteer Fire Dept. There were no hits on Google Maps or MapQuest for "hotel", "motel", "inn", or "RV" (park/resort) in Monterey, MS (or located in Monterey when searching using "Florence, MS"). Since the place actually exists, but there is no accommodation, it should be a redirect to close-by Florence (Mississippi) (which has an RV Park & Super8 motel). AHeneen (talk) 13:17, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Odd that it wasn't on Google Maps, although I was able to pinpoint the location based on the MapQuest map above (Monterey Road and Mississippi Highway 469). The grocery store and fire station at that location both have a Pearl, Mississippi postal address. The Florence link above appears to have been created as a redirect to Richland (Mississippi). Eco84 (talk) 04:42, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy redirect to Richland (Mississippi). Which I have done. Generally, I'm fine with speedying outlines for places that barely exist, since we're more about the business of writing travel guides than creating random placename articles. Since we're already mired in a discussion, though, I went ahead and moved it to a name that could conceivably sustain an article when combined with the mentioned redirected places ;) --Peter Talk 02:19, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
