Abandoned railways stations was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made below rather than here so that this is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was KEEP

I'm doing some more maintainance; listing VfD nominations that were "lost" because the nominator never actually listed them on VfD (Or maybe they were but didn't have a heading. I'm finding these through the Pages on Votes for Deletion category). For this particular page, I vote weak keep. Almost no useful content, but I believe it could be encyclopedic.

This is not an appropriate Wikipedia article, right? Katherine Shaw 11:41, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

• Keep Harmless at worst. jengod 19:17, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)
• Potentially legit topic (and strong interest of mine), although not the easiest topic to write a general article upon. However, delete unless rewritten and moved to somewhere less nonsensical by the conclusion of this VFD. Ambi 09:29, 13 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep; good topic, article seems alright. [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 04:43, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep It's a stub, and if expanded, could be interesting. Fg2 04:53, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)
• keep, could turn into something interesting. Posiduck 06:17, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• I can see the promise in the title, but the article looks abandoned itself. List on cleanup. Average Earthman 08:53, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Abstain. Don't know if topic could lead to encyclopedic articles. However, shouldn't it be the singular of railways? --Improv 15:41, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep but move to proper name. Even I don't vote to delete this, but it does seem more like a pointer than a page, and the category system should obviate the need for those now. Geogre 18:19, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. This should involve fixing the name, and there's quite a lot of other stuff to do as well. Andrewa 21:10, 29 Oct 2004 (UTC)
• Keep and move to the right name. —siroχo 01:12, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)
• Keep and move to the right name. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:48, Oct 30, 2004 (UTC)

End archived discussion -- Graham ☺ | Talk 12:58, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

As a suggestion: turn the page into a discussion on why stations and lines are closed and/or include in, or link to, a page on economics of transport/economics of rail transport.

I agree with Jackiespeel. Failing that, merge this article into Urban Exploration --- Trevie 16:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
