The result was merge to British Rail Class 47 renumbering. If the title is unsatisfactory, request a move on WP:RM (or WP:RM/TR if no objection is expected, which seems to be case here). Alternatively, perform the merge the other way. (non-admin closure) ~ Aseleste  (t, e &#124; c, l) 11:23, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

List of British Rail Class 47 locomotives

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A list of 500 odd locomotives is only going to be of interest to a very select group of hard core railway enthusiasts. Is WP:LISTCRUFT and WP:FANCRUFT. Metro140 (talk) 06:23, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The list was split from the main article because of its length. It's notable, and probably of more interest than other classes because so many Class 47 locomotives were renumbered and renamed (many of these were used on passenger trains including InterCity services) but currently incomplete as it doesn't mention subclasses, some were renumbered again (British Rail Class 47) and some were rebuilt as Class 57.

 * Delete Duplication, already covered by British Rail Class 47 renumbering. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 10:29, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It would be useful as a redirect (or even as the article title). There is similar duplication of Class 37 lists: British Rail Class 37 renumbering and British Rail Class 37 Fleet List. Peter James (talk) 11:03, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge  with British Rail Class 47 renumbering, the references should be reused and the additional columns merged, whichever article title is chosen, and the other title used as a redirect. I chose the article title on the basis that there is also a List of British Rail Class 91 locomotives. The British Rail Class 47 renumbering article wasn't visible as a link on the British Rail Class 47 fleet summary section, at the time I created the List of British Rail Class 47 locomotives yesterday. Neither is it in Category:British railway-related lists, as of this post. Note that the "List of xx locomotives" format is the common one in the category linked.

 * Hasten to add I created the original renumbering page before fleet lists became a thing. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 15:19, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Merge with British Rail Class 47 renumbering. My preference would be for this title to be primary but that's a minor issue. Fleet lists are sourced encyclopaedic information commonly found on the articles about rolling stock. That this list is a separate article due to size is no exception to this.

 * Merge with British Rail Class 47 renumbering but keep the former name of List of British Rail Class 47 locomotives. Nightfury 08:55, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
