move ?

[edit]

I think this article should be moved from Lahoot Lamakan to Noorani (Pakistan) in Balochistan. Generally Wikivoyage does not have articles on attractions, only settlements. There appears to be a couple of hotels and restaurants in the area so would make an article. --Traveler100 (talk) 07:06, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

You are right but Lahoot is a cave and Noorani is a shrine. And both are different places even both places are situated in different Tehsils of Khuzdar district :) --Bukhari (Talk!) 07:49, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Is there a town/village in the area or a general name for the area? It is fine to have an article about a rural area. Or could simply create and add to article about Khuzdar which would include attractions in the whole district. --Traveler100 (talk) 08:24, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Oh my! Khuzdar is pretty hard. I have visited few areas in Khuzdar district (specially Wadh tehsil), so i am not able to write about whole district. But i think User:Aziz Kingrani can help. BTW i will complete this article tommorow, please don't delete this. Thanks --Bukhari (Talk!) 16:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
Do not worry will not delete; just will move and expand at some point. There is no problem making an article to cover Khuzdar district, then once enough content splitting it into towns and villages. If you were visiting what would be regarded as the closest town to stay in and make a day trip to Lahoot Lamakan? --Traveler100 (talk) 17:49, 5 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
actually Lahoot is situated in Khuzdar district's Tehsil 'Wadh', i don't have any idea about any actual place of lahoot. (read this), now is upto you to move this article (any name). --Bukhari (Talk!) 04:12, 6 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
I put a coordinate on the page based on google maps, but this puts it in Lasbela district. Do you have exact coordinates? --Traveler100 (talk) 07:44, 6 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
I don't know why but google gives definitely wrong coordinates check Urdu article's coordinates 25°45′26″N 67°2′46″E. --Bukhari (Talk!) 12:19, 6 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Traveler100: can you please make this article on wikipedia ? --Bukhari (Talk!) 13:11, 25 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
I do not think this can survive as a standalone WV article; as T100 says above, one of our key criteria is that we do not have articles on attractions, only on destinations. See Wikivoyage:What is an article? for policy details. It would be fine as a listing in some higher-level article (Khuzdar?), perhaps with a redirect from Lahoot Lamakan. Redirects of this type include Alamut, Taj Mahal & others.
I'm not sure if this could become a Wikipedia article; they have a "notability" criterion & I do not know enough about either their policies or this place to judge whether Lahoot Lamakan meets it.

This is an attraction and should be better listed in Khuzdar District. --Saqib (talk) 14:07, 25 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Saqib: agree --Bukhari (Talk!) 16:25, 25 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
