Delete Dayhike?[edit]

Is there really any need for this article, as one on hiking already exists, as well as on rambling and walking? It is infrequently visited and the potential list of day hikes could be millions. I propose that it should be deleted. Rwood128 (talk) 14:01, 11 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The idea of listing day hikes/walks for the 50 states, of the USA is absurd, but this article covers the world. What is the criteria for inclusion? (OK popularity -- but how is it decided?) The entry for Britain is equally ridiculous. Day walks are obviously possible in all the counties of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, as well as in a city like London, not just the few scenic places in England that are listed. I therefore suggest that the list should be deleted.

Furthermore the subject of day hikes/walks could far better be dealt with in the main Hiking article, and in the highly unlikely circumstance it should become excessive lengthy it could then be hived off. Rwood128 (talk) 01:23, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is the form dayhike American usage? My Canadian Mac's spell check rejects it and the computer's dictionary is the Oxford American (not listed in dictionary in fact). Rwood128 (talk) 01:45, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dayhike looks like an error in fact. Rwood128 (talk) 02:04, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I support the merge, and agree with the removal of the list of day hikes. A worldwide list of hikes that can be done in a day would be insanely long, and not appropriate for Wikipedia. —hike395 (talk) 14:36, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
