One reason is that the article is nominated for deletion without stating which guidelines/rules of Wikipedia have been violated. A link to the rules in general is not a sufficient argument; it rather looks like vandalism. The lack of arguments makes the discussion almost impossible: What do we have to discuss about? Is it possible to improve the article or is it completely worthless or out of scope or what? A second reason to keep the article is that it is part of the WikiProject Hiking Trails. This project invites authors to write at large about hiking trails - the page of the project even mentions a lengthy description of a 5 km walk as a "Good Article". If there is any conflict between the rules of Wikipedia in general and those of the WikiProject Hiking Trails, this should be cleared at the general level and not by deleting individual articles. A third reason to keep the article is that it is not a manual. It gives a general idea of the landscape and points of interest along E11 and refers the anglophone reader who wants to become an E11 rambler to Dutch, German and Polish publications. It makes clear how these publications can be used in spite of language barriers. As such, it is impossible to walk through these countries on E11 on the basis of this article only. A fourth reason to keep this article is that it contains basic information about E11 that cannot be found anywhere else. It is in line with the verification requirement, as the contents can be checked at the offices of various rambling organizations, but one cannot expect individual ramblers to go there just in order to prepare for a hike. Especially the Polish sections are poorly documented (as is explained in the article itself) and there is no other easily accessible source in Internet, on cd-rom or on paper. A fifth reason to keep the article, perhaps in a modified setting, is that Wikipedia has a special interest in hiking trails. The project in the English language has already been mentioned, but there are similar projects in French and German. The article may be relocated to, for example, an Outdoor-Wiki sub-encyclopedia, or it may be shortened according to certain guidelines, but to delete the whole article whereas many other trails are described in extenso, seems unduly harsh to me.
