List of Shoreliner Names

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A listing of railway carriage codes and the names the carriages they are assigned. I am interested in railways myself, but this kind of stuff is too specific for Wikipedia, and belongs elsewhere. Wongm (talk) 08:56, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete there are plenty of websites/books etc that can provide this information. Chafford (talk) 18:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Since the railway itself would be notable, I suggest making an article similar to New Jersey Transit rail operations, which is linked from Metro-North Railroad. There's an article about ConnDOT which operates the railroad; this would be "moved" (i.e. renamed) to an article about Connecticut rail operations and more info about the .  On the talk page, people can discuss whether they want the detailed info about the cars on the line. Mandsford (talk) 23:37, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: the carriages already have a page at Comet (passenger car). Wongm (talk) 03:37, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I saw that article too, but this is about a particular railway that is among several that use the the Comet II, Comet III and Comet IV cars. Mandsford (talk) 13:38, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

As someone who has worked on the main Comet (railcar) page, I'm kinda reluctant to say this, but I say delete. This is info that is uncited, but I believe accurate. However I have nothing that would qualify as WP:RS And it is too esoteric and crufty. I believe a brief mention at the main page, saying that Metro-North has this practice, (which already exists) is probably sufficient. oknazevad (talk) 07:05, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. This should be sourceable and is valid information, interesting for specialists. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 01:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Valid fork of comet (railcar) for article size considerations, and its not exactly trainspotter cruft (if we have to use that sometimes offensive description of others work) as the actual names can be linked to their relevant wikipedia articles. If that gets done it becomes an extremely good index for further reading for someone researching the subject. I note nobody has raised any sourcing issues on its talk page. The name is rather misleading and needs to be more specific. Suggest List of Shoreliner railroad carriages or similar. MickMacNee (talk) 16:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
