I am concerned that this article exists purely to provide a commercial link to the owner's business. Can it be recommended for deletion? 81.129.175.66 17:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

While the article as it currently stands needs to be improved, there is no doubt that this railway meets notability. In particular it has multiple mentions in reliable sources. It would be sensible to quote a couple of those and expand the article, but having articles on commercial subjects is fine as long as they are notable. You could propose deletion or ask for this to be discussed at articles for deletion but I'm fairly certain it would not be deleted as a result.
I'll try to dig out some specific references to add to the article. Other editors are welcome to do the same, of course. Best, Gwernol 18:36, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
