Unverified. The concept of the article - touring while blindfolded - is not supported by the references; they are about tourism by blind people. I thought it might be a joke or hoax, but I did find a few references to individuals doing this. However, it is certainly not a trend, nor did I find any commercially offered tours of this kind - just individuals doing it for a brief time to make some kind of point. PROD was removed by the author with the comment "Give me a day or two to gather up some relevant references. Rest assured this is a prevalent concept, it happens at a lot of places." However, that was a week ago, and the article remains unverified. MelanieN ( talk) 02:22, 4 October 2014 (UTC) reply

• Keep - now that more sources have been added showing that this is a recognised concept and has taken place on an organised basis in a number of locations. Maybe needs moving to Blindfolded Tourism or Blindfolded Sightseeing with several redirects from alternative terms. : Noyster (talk), 13:56, 12 October 2014 (UTC) reply
• Withdraw nomination @ Noyster: great job of finding and adding information from reliable sources. I agree that the article could be better named. I suggest that after the nomination is closed you move it to one or the other, probably "Blindfolded tourism" (small T, of course). -- MelanieN ( talk) 22:41, 12 October 2014 (UTC) reply
