American Steam Railroad

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Prod removed with no improvement. No 3rd party sources that address the notability of this organization. Gbooks and GNews hits refer only to the generic "American steam railroad" or to an early 20thC "American Steam Railroad Company". Fails WP:N. Tassedethe (talk) 20:55, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete As a rail fan, I wish this organization well. However, I've searched using every combination of key words I could think of, and was unable to find reliable, independent sources necessary to show notability. Cullen328 (talk) 22:26, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete: Their choice of name means that searches for sources turn up lots of false-positives. I haven't found any relevant wheat among the chaff. bobrayner (talk) 22:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Reluctant Delete, per Cullen328, although I've searched for better categories to replace with red ones, for what it was worth. I thought there would be a category for railroad preservarion organizations, but I couldn't find any. Before it is deleted though, I want to save the article on a word file, just in case there's ever a reason to revive it again. DanTD (talk) 15:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Non-notable organization. Should also think about deleting the Frisco 1352 article; it's non operational, nor on display. I wouldn't call it a notable preservation case. I'm not even sure if I'd call it preserved at this point.oknazevad (talk) 20:40, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'd be more willing to keep that article, but the indivdual category ought to be dumped. How many locomotives have their own categories, really? It appears that ASE wants to preserve the Frisco 1352 locomotive. DanTD (talk) 15:10, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
