ALCO DL500B

Fails WP:GNG in my opinion. In addition, unsourced since 2006. Coin945 (talk) 04:51, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to ALCO. Useful encyclopedic information if you are interested in rail diesel but not notable in its own right.  And it is a small but key link between ALCO, NSW rail, and SA rail.  Aoziwe (talk) 10:53, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
 * It is standard practice to assume that distinct models of locomototive, just like with automobiles and aircraft, are notable. That said, see below... - The Bushranger One ping only 01:10, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect, but not to ALCO, rather to ALCO FA, which the DL500B is/was a variant of, and the Australian loco classes tha the DL500 comprised are in fact already mentioned there., would this be a better target for your !vote? - The Bushranger One ping only 01:10, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Fine by me. Thanks.  Aoziwe (talk) 10:14, 6 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect per above, without prejudice to create an article on the DL500 series World Locomotive if someone wants to develop that. But there seems to be insufficient material for a separate article on the DL500B. MB 18:45, 10 December 2017 (UTC)
