I do not believe this term merits notability requirement for inclusion. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:53, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hi Piotrus, hope you're well. Why do you think this doesn't qualify on notability? Thanks. Lourdes 14:10, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Lourdes: I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:57, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Piotrus. On Google Scholar, I've been able to see sources like this (which gives a full paragraph describing what podguides are) and this (see the paragraph starting with "A PodGuide is like the audio tour headsets you rent in museums, except you download it to your ipod..."). The usage of podguides also seems quite prevalent in general. I would tend to think these provide a good basis to have an article on a subject that may have encyclopedic worth. What do you think? Thanks. Lourdes 07:18, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lourdes: Sadly, your first link is to a cloud and has expired already (or may be only available to you), if you can give me a different link/article title I'll take a look. If you meant 'iPod in Education: The Potential for Teaching and Learning', I did find the definition there 'A Podguide is a variation on the audio books mentioned above but is designed to allow pupils to provide a guided tour of a variety of different situations. The sort of thing that could be produced could be a pupils’ interpretation of a local museum, a guide to the local area or an explanation of a project they have completed such as a design and technology project'; it's sound but one short paragraph is not an indication of SIGNIFICANT coverage. As for the second article, my university does not have access to it and I cannot find it through Lib Genesis, so I can only AGF your claim here. Still, Google Scholar returns only 47 results for the use of the word podguide. News give me 0 hits, and while books give over 3k, it seems mostly related to a specific company / websites. At best, I think we could consider where to merge this, as the term can be explained in some other article in a short paragraph, but I don't think it merits a stand-alone article, as I do not see sufficient sources to prove that this term has generated significant coverage. It is not a hoax, but I still am not convinced it is notable. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:41, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you're saying. Do you think a merge to Audio tour/Audio guide might help? Thanks. Lourdes 07:46, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Lourdes: Hmmm, I'd think podcast might be a better target. The articles you linked seem to discuss a tool used only in museums and sightseeing tours. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 08:06, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merging it with Podcast sounds appropriate. I'll !vote likewise. Thanks. Lourdes 08:11, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge if sources can be found to support the content. This is a very short article, which is better suited to being a short section of Audio tour or Podcast (my preference would be for the former). Splitting off into a separate article can be done at a later date if necessary. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:06, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
