External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Water of Leith Walkway. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20060902170338/http://www.youredinburgh.info/opencms/opencms/cecrangerservice/sites_and_trails/water_of_leith.html to http://www.youredinburgh.info/opencms/opencms/cecrangerservice/sites_and_trails/water_of_leith.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Proposal[edit]

Surely information about the walkway would be better served in the Water of Leith article? This article seems to have a lot of original research and it's written like a travel guide. @JaggedHamster noticed your recently placed uncited tag on the article — wonder what your view is of a possible deletion or redirect. Originally, contemplated a merge but lack of sourcing does not encourage this — grateful for any comment. Rupples (talk) 02:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect to Water of Leith makes sense to me. Like you say, there's not much salvageable from the content here to merge. JaggedHamster (talk) 09:55, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Had a rethink. If taken to AfD I believe the article would likely survive because the walkway is featured in many Edinburgh guidebooks. Gonna have a go at sourcing further material and see what transpires. Rupples (talk) 00:25, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
