What do you mean by "third-party"? Say a skier visits a travel agent who recommends the skifield that is the subject of this discussion. He goes to Wikipedia to find out more about it. Even if our article on the topic is just a condensed reformulation of the information on the subject's website, I feel that we have done him a small service. We've presented the information in a standard, encyclopaedic format. We've provided all the links we could find. And we've presented it more neutrally than the website itself would.
Putting aside the issue on whether the article under discussion should stay or go but isn't the above what Wikitravel is for?
