Help me
Help me The page I wrote on the Washington Eastern Railroad was deleted and it redirects me to the Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad now. The railroads were completely different. They existed at two separate time and were owned by two separate people. I don’t understand why it was deleted. It had sources and links and what not. Eìre 1916 (talk) 23:13, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey there! Thank you for using the Help me template. So it would seem that your article is actually not deleted. made it into a redirect, but then  tagged it as possibly worthy of an article. You can still access the article in the page history, but for now it might be best to discuss with SounderBruce why they felt it was not notable. &#8211;  MJL &thinsp;‐Talk‐☖ 02:54, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
 * The article simply did not have enough secondary coverage to be notable in its own right (see WP:GNG). Please try to edit with only one account, use ref tags and citation templates, and avoid citations like "General Order" or "Gary Durr" without context. You must cite everything with an appropriate secondary source.  Sounder Bruce  05:05, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Ok yeah that makes sense. What do you consider a secondary source and I was still in the process of adding citations when this happened. It’s just slow going as I am busy. If this somehow gets reversed or something idk and the page is fixed (if that’s possible what would I have to change, just adding more sources? Eìre 1916 (talk) 18:07, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Also what do you mean by edit with one account. That’s all I’ve done is edit the WER with one account. Eìre 1916 (talk) 18:14, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
 * has also edited the articles and you must properly disclose that account as an alternative. Only add sources from real newspapers (e.g. The Spokesman-Review, Adams County Journal, newspapers of record at the county level, etc.), WSDOT, or the federal government. Do not cite official websites, and do try and match up the links with the relevant text. If you can't prove that the citation supports your text, then don't include it at all. As for the redirected article, you should wait until the new operator garners more newspaper mentions and meets the notability criteria (which I recommend that you read).

I wasn’t aware I used my IrelandForever account for it btw. Odd

Also yeah I understand the lack of notable sources. The railroad is too new for a lot of sources. There’s been some articles but not a whole lot sadly. I can find all the legal documents and what not but not much on current operations. Eìre 1916 (talk) 15:11, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
