Luxury Escapes ambiguity

Re Luxury Escapes - good work with the recent edits. @Fork99

Given the prominence of this brand in the Australian market most known for it's travel agency business (rather than TV show) - and the current ambiguity on wiki between the website and TV show of the same name, is it best to create 2 separate wiki articles? For example:

1. Luxury Escapes (TV show)
2. Luxury Escapes (travel agency)

The travel agency (including website) is one of Australia's largest travel brands...

Article claims "307,828 – Luxury Escapes bookings in 2022": https://travelweekly.com.au/article/study-finds-90-of-australians-plan-to-travel-in-2023-their-destination-preferences-revealed/

Website claims over 7 million members: https://luxuryescapes.com/au/about-us

Google trends show larger search interest than other popular brand such as agoda, expedia: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&geo=AU&q=Luxury%20Escapes,agoda,expedia,luxury%20escape%20tv&hl=en-GB

They have just won Most Outstanding Travel Agency at the AITA awards: https://travelweekly.com.au/article/breaking-all-the-winners-of-the-atias-2024-national-travel-industry-awards/ Plzy (talk) 01:52, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Plzy: If you think that the travel agency as a topic will pass Wikipedia's guidelines on notability (the main test used to determine whether a topic deserves an article on Wikipedia), please feel free to start a draft article by following the steps at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. I still don't think that the sources that you provided demonstrate significant coverage in secondary reliable sources and/or are not promotional. Fork99 (talk) 02:29, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Info on Outback Xplorer

G'day, @Fork99,

I've just recently (just kidding 3 months ago) reverted an edit you did on Outback Xplorer. It was the one where you mentioned the name wasn't official. Well, I have a correction for you. I've reverted the edit, because if you see the website here, and you scroll down, it reads

The Broken Hill Outback Xplorer train runs weekly every Monday to Broken Hill.

The name is still official. I have read your reasoning on the the archived talk page, and it applies for Northern Tablelands Express, but not for Outback Xplorer.

Please reply if you received this message.

Thanks. MrActiniuM (talk) 09:07, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@MrActiniuM: ok, thanks for the info. Fork99 (talk) 09:28, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! MrActiniuM (talk) 09:29, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Has the Doomben Railway Line page received a reverse somehow?

Hey Fork, I'm wondering if you could help out with this. I've posted a question on the Doomben line talk page, I've placed the actual article here if necessary. Kind regards, 124.149.132.120 (talk) 07:59, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
