The result was   Deleted as db-self. Other editors only added categories and a single minor formatting change. This qualifies as G7 as it meets the criteria of "the page's only substantial content was added by its author". -- JLaTondre (talk) 19:35, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Kansas, Nebraska and Omaha Railway

There was never a railroad with this name. The reference given is the only one; Google Books would definitely give some hits if it were a real name. There is more discussion at User talk:Freechild; I think I've found which one the source is referring to, but it got nowhere near Omaha. NE2 19:01, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. I am the only author, I requested a db-self and it was denied, and here we are. As NE2 has shown on my talk page, I misinterpreted the original source, which is the only reference to this railroad on Google books. There are no substantive links on Google. • Freechild   'sup?   19:19, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment I removed the speedy deletion tag because the author was not the only contributor, and no other speedy deletion criteria was applicable. If the railroad indeed never existed, then after two more delete supports this can be speedy closed as delete. So this isn't really "the hard way", it's just the right way. We can not bend and stretch the speedy deletion criteria to force it to fit where it does not.  Jerry   delusional ¤ kangaroo 19:24, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
