Speedy deletion nomination of Locomotives International
Hello Willydat,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Locomotives International for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. XyzSpaniel 'Talk to me  21:50, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * I have declined this for speedy deletion. I saw your note on Xyzspaniel's talk page, do you still want this page moved into draft space? SpinningSpark 22:18, 8 October 2016 (UTC)


 * yes user:willydat
 * User:Spinningspark - I nominated it for deletion. If it is moved into draft space, I will withdraw the AFD.  Robert McClenon (talk) 22:43, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
 * It's now at Draft:Locomotives International. Newspapers and magazines are notoriously difficult to find RS for, publishers have a disinclination to drawing attention to someone elses publication.  This magazine appears to be well known and respected enough for scholarly papers to cite its articles so I was prepared to cut this one some slack. SpinningSpark 23:37, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
