Are tramlines notable? Computerjoe 's talk 16:16, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * They sure as hell are. --SPUI (T - C) 16:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Wikipedia is full of tram/railway lines. Don't delete one unless you want to delete them all. — Mets 501 (talk) 17:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. I normally vote to delete articles like this, but this one seems to be notable, and has some historic significance. --Coredesat talk 21:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Coredesat. Artw 22:56, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure! Wikipedia's got loads of articles on them. Green Line "A" Branch is in Category:Green Line (MBTA) which in turn is in Category:Presently operating light rail or streetcars in the United States. That's in Category:Streetcars in North America, from which you can go to Category:Streetcars and then Category:Tram transport. Keep Fg2 08:04, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep It's a historical perspective, it needs re-writing and probably half-a-dozen other things --Richhoncho 20:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep as a bostonian- This is very historically significant to boston, this was one of 5 original green lines- And even from an ongoing perspective, i cant tell you how many times ive heard people remark "B, C, D, E... Why isnt there an A line?" when looking at the maps. -Lanoitarus (talk) .:. 00:47, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as Lanoitarus say "Where is the A line?" is a very common question. Even if trolley lines generally aren't notable, this one is by virtue of the fact that it not longer exists but is still part of the naming scheme. Spikex 19:52, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 'Strong Keep and to answer the nom, yes, tram lines are quite notable. Jesuschex 02:19, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
