No evidence for notability apart from the village. Having an article like this serves no purpose except promotion. DGG ( talk ) 02:11, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

The user who has nominated the article has a history of nominating articles. To me, it seems he is having a contest to see how many articles he can have deleted. However, Destination Kohler is a division of the Kohler Company and is very notable for the fact that the Village of Kohler, Wisconsin contacts with Destination Kohler for tourism which is usually done in-house or by the county's Chamber of Commerce. Destination Kohler is unique in the sense in how it operates. Asher Heimermann ( talk)

  • Merge with Kohler Company. It's already a section in that article. No reason to separate it out except for promotional purposes. And it's not clear that the website has anything to do with the village as the source for that assertion fails verification. 32.218.47.197 ( talk) 02:34, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply
Destination Kohler is under the Village Tourism Committee. Destination Kohler is also Kohler Co.'s tourism promotion department. They apply for money from the Village tourism committee. Since the Village tourism committee gets most of its money from Kohler hotel room taxes, they give Destination Kohler money through their annual contract and agreement.

Sounds like original research, as it's not found in the cited source. 32.218.47.197 ( talk) 02:50, 24 November 2015 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Too big of a list to merge into the Kohler Company article. Kohler Company is a large national corporation with a very diverse set of properties and divisions besides its mainstays - plumbing and engine divisions. See Template:Kohler Company to see how complicated it is. Many of their properties have their own article in Wikipedia. For example, five Kohler Company/Kohler Family sites are on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Plus they have Whistling Straits and Blackwolf Run golf courses, Kohler Stables, etc. A "list" style article to link together the destinations in this article and their many other properties/divisions would be too large. I think that this list is just the right size and the lists needs to be named how Kohler Company refers to them per WP:COMMONNAME. Royal broil 05:25, 26 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • Comment "Too big of a list" is not one of the criteria for notability. The size or structure of the company is also irrelevant. The question is whether this list ( Destination Kohler) is notable. 32.218.45.64 ( talk) 14:38, 27 November 2015 (UTC) reply
  • There are enough reliable sources to meet WP:GNG as a list but not enough for some to have their own article. So a merged "list" of this format is the right fit. I was also commenting why I don't think it should be merged into the parent article - too big. There are many list articles on large companies holdings of small to medium sized companies.
