 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to Steam locomotive components. Since what we have is outsourced we usually redirect instead of merge but perhaps the source that was found during the discussion can support a comment or two? Spartaz Humbug! 05:50, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Railway terminology. WP:DICDEF unsourced since 2009.  Sandstein  22:13, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsourced since creation in 2004. Per nom, not a dictionary of technical terms.  Vermont &#124; reply here  22:24, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cab (locomotive). Per Slambo  Vermont &#124; reply here  00:26, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Cab (locomotive), because it's a part of a locomotive cab. As to the point of being unreferenced, page 16 of the 1922 Locomotive Cyclopedia of American Practice defines it.  I am not adding it to the article right now because of this discussion, and the total amount of the content will fit into the cab article. Slambo (Speak)  23:25, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

 * I would prefer to merge to Steam locomotive components, since, while it is in the cab, it's really better described as part of the locomotive as a whole. Mangoe (talk) 15:12, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * How about a merge to both pages?  Vermont &#124; reply here  15:49, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No opposition on my part, but this wouldn't be a merger so much as a mere mention of this (outdated) terminology on these pages. I'm indifferent as to where to redirect to.  Sandstein   16:21, 15 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge to Steam locomotive components per above; however I have never heard of this term before... Some suitable refs may be needed Nightfury 09:31, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It's an American term. Mangoe (talk) 11:48, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
