  • Delete or Merge and redirect to an UNLINKED list article, maybe List of BNSF locomotives. These and other non-notable locomotives could be merged to a list article per WP:LIST guidelines and Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Merging instructions; that is often how such items are handled. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 17:03, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Ack. Not a notable locomotive. There's no need to redirect it. I don't see enough people searching for the term to warrant it. i (talk) 19:41, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, NN locomotive. Wikipedia is not a directory of rolling stock. There are plenty of railfan websites for this material (though I have no idea if any are wikis, which would be useful). --Dhartung | Talk 21:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails WP:N. Doctorfluffy 23:12, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete; I'm strongly inclined (even as a railfan) to agree with Dhartung above, and I'll add that these days the barriers to starting your own wiki are very low. If there needs to be a wiki to cover this material, one or more of the railfan Web sites should start one. --Tkynerd 00:15, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment: There is a fledgling Wiki -- TrainSpotting World -- but even there I wouldn't expect to see sub-stub articles on non-heritage diesels.

  • Merge and Redirect according to Jayron32's proposal. ----DanTD 05:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, as per above EdJogg 23:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge and Redirect per Jayron32's proposal above. --Oakshade 23:27, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The only assertion of notability is the color scheme used to paint the locomotives. If there's something to say about BNSF color schemes, it should probably be mentioned elsewhere. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 19:06, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
