[edit] Bordering on original research...
- comments copied from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains
In looking through Category:Rail stubs today, I came across Skybus Metro. The system sounds like any of a number of suspended railways such as Schwebebahn Wuppertal or H-Bahn.
The whole thing reads like advertising copy, but Googling for key phrases didn't come up with anything similar to delete it as a copy of someone else's work. I was tempted to nominate it on WP:AFD as original research because the name in the attached link is suspiciously close to the article author's name. Thoughts? Slambo (Speak) 18:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- The article really looks like advertisement text copied into Wikipedia. I am not shure if the whole article should be deleted. I think better solution would be to gain some knowledge about Skybus metro and re-write the article in proper style. CCMichalZ 18:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I just found Image:Skybus Metro.pdf which has complete technical detail and artist conception diagrams of the service. I also found a couple articles in the news media about it: [1], [2], [3], and there's a description at the Indian Railways Fan Club site (although the photos page currently returns an error). According to the news, Konkan Railway has begun construction on a test section of such a system in Bangalore, so even though we've got what looks like advertising and original research now, it looks like something that we should keep; let's get it cleaned up and referenced and up to snuff. I'm copying this discussion to the article talk page. Further comments should be left there. Slambo (Speak) 14:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Okay, there's a start on a rewrite to an encyclopedic style, and looking through the original uploader's contribution history, I found a few photos of the test system that were as yet unused (although tagged as PD). There are two other PDFs uploaded as well, but I haven't looked at their contents yet. Slambo (Speak) 15:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- PDFs deleted as clearly Original Research. This article is strongly POV and that needs reducing; arguably it would be as well served by a para in a suspended railways article. --AlisonW 21:01, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
