Tourist campaign from ten years ago. No official status or enduring notability. – Joe (talk) 08:54, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - my sweep (both English and Serbian, though the latter couldn't run every potential string) didn't bring up anything that wasn't either a marketing source or a wiki mirror. A wider selection of such does show up if you try out both sets of wonders. If someone could try those in serbian (google translate I imagine wasn't up to the job) then that might find something that counters what my BEFORE check found.

Delete - I could imagine some mention of this and the lists being included in an article about the Tourist Organisation of Serbia, but it doesn't seem worth recasting this article as an article about the tourist organization and given there is not yet an article about that organization, no merge is possible/necessary. As it is, the article fails NOTDIRECTORY/NOTGUIDE. Smmurphy^(Talk) 16:25, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in the absence of any non-promotional sourcing, fails WP:NOTTRAVEL and WP:GNG. SportingFlyer talk 18:01, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are so many sources. I am inviting you recall your decisions. Just search for "Седам српских чуда" and you will find tons of sources. Also, did anyone even bother to search for sources in English also? There are tons of those too ... Asking for a revision of this, i will tag article for work in progress --Ąnαșταη (ταlκ) 22:48, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Anastan: I get 78 results in Serbian,"Седам+српских+чуда" most of which are blog posts and mirrors of wikipedia. Can you post some links you think are especially relevant? Smmurphy^(Talk) 23:29, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure things, so so many! Just will list few newspapers about it.

7 SRPSKIH ČUDA: Upoznajte sedam čuda našeg graditeljstva!

I Srbija ima svojih 7 srpskih čuda: Upoznajte sedam čuda našeg graditeljstva

Sedam srpskih čuda prirode

Just a few i found in a sec... The point is that this list is THE only known list of the Serbian seven wonders, and other articles are not mirrors, but the list as it was announced when proclaimed. Also, so many other sources, i have added few in article, i am quite sure that you should recall your decision, really. --Ąnαșταη (ταlκ) 23:47, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first link is from 2008, which doesn't show the campaign is enduring. The second two are copies of each other and are largely plagiarized from Serbian wikipedia articles for each location. The sources are good (somewhat reputable news sites), but I'm not too excited about their usefulness - especially due to the apparent citogenesis. The last one is a blog post, which isn't quite a RS. That said, my search didn't return any of these, so if there are any that are a bit better, do post them or add them to the page. Smmurphy^(Talk) 00:06, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The transliteration is "sedam srpskih čuda" and I found some hits in Serbian as well, but they mention it's an initiative of the tourism board: [1] SportingFlyer talk 00:33, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think that if this page is suitable, it is suitable as a tourism board campaign. Also, the page you just linked also is a copy of the Wikipedia pages.[2] Smmurphy^(Talk) 21:35, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I searched for sources in English and Serbian. As others have said, there's only churnalism. The tourist board put this out in 2008, it got a smattering of coverage, then nothing. No enduring notability. – Joe (talk) 06:40, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG The current article doesn't actually say why the subject is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Accesscrawl (talk • contribs) 15:06, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, note that we also have a Template:Seven Wonders of Serbia which might be nominated as well, for consistency. Marcocapelle (talk) 05:20, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
