[edit] Laxey Browside Tramway

Laxey Browside Tramway (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Very little context, I can't figure out where this water wheel and tramway even are. A search for the title turns up nothing outside Wikipedia. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep I agree with TPH that the article as written is poor. Nevertheless this does appear to be a real tramway with at least one reliable source available. I will attempt to find more sources and expand it. I do believe this is likely to be notable. Gwernol 02:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect to somewhere in Transport on the Isle of Man. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 02:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep as Browside Tramway or merge to Laxey Wheel. [1] appears to be a reliable source with some details on page 12. I believe it is the red line going north from the wheel on page 8. The bottom of [2] has some photos. --NE2 09:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The funicular definately existed, even if only for a short time. It could be merged into an article covering Funiculars in the Isle of Man if someone was to create it. The fact that little is available online should not prevent details of the line existing somewhere within Wikipedia. Mjroots (talk) 15:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge Having done a search for it, i could only find information on the Manx Electric Railway website and the Laxey Visitor's Guide. I would therefore say merge with Laxey. Simply south (talk) 09:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Just because there's no online refs, who says there aren't any. I'm off to expand it. - BG7 13:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge into Laxey Wheel. It ought to be mentioned somewhere, although it seems unlikely that it would be worthy of an article in its own right (certainly not in its present condition). As the subject seems to be inherently connected with the Laxey Wheel, that seems to be a sensible merge target; of course, it can be mentioned in other, related articles too (with a link to the appropriate section). --RFBailey (talk) 23:31, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
