[edit] Town Traffic Test
Speedied once but re-created so I assume the author contests deletion. "Town Traffic Test" scores the coveted zero google hits. Looks like the start of an original research article. Guy 11:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as above. OBM | blah blah blah 12:32, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
- Delete. As the person that initially speedied it, I don't see an use for this article and it seems like original research to me as well.--Thomas.macmillan 13:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I admit that I am a newbie, but I am also very passionate about helping low-income countries with their transport problems. There is an enormous lack of information available for the 66% of people who live in cities of less than 3 million. The big cities such as Cairo and Bangkok have the opposite problems of too much study.
I would like, therefore, to collect the existing knowledge in a structured way. Wiki is, I think, a perfect place for this, though I am open to other suggestions, because I would also like to create a method in which users can evaluate their own cities and put the results online for others to compare with.

- Delete per nom. Jwgardner (please sign your posts on talk pages), this is simply too esoteric a subject to merit an article. Unless individually notable, single-source articles generally have little merit and may exhibit bias and other problems. Your idea sounds interesting but would fall under original research, so we could not publish those evaluations. Look into starting your own Wiki for this under your own policies. --Dhartung | Talk 12:08, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. Could this be userfied? (moved to User: Jwgardner/Town Traffic Test instead of deleted) TransUtopian 22:39, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
