List of Wake Island railroads
Blank article other than headers since it's inception on May 12th, 2005. Delete for lack of content and no apparent attempt to add any.--Isotope23 20:11, 25 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep for technical reasons until a better nav box is created. Like it says in the edit history when I created it: "stubbing out red link in nav box to keep it off the Most Wanted list".  All of the List of STATE railroads articles in the nav box use the same nav box, US links, which links to List of XXX YYY where XXX is one of the regions listed in the box and YYY is a parameter to the template (in this case, "railroads"). slambo 20:19, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Since nobody else created an alternative without the disputed links, I spent the time today to create US railroad lists. I will update the appropriate pages to use this new template.  Since my keep reason was purely technical, I now have no opinion on this vote. 64.213.162.196 13:14, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * My browser cookie expired before I hit save. Above comment from 64.213.162.196 was made by me.  slambo 13:16, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * That being the case I will group nominate the rest of the blank railroad articles in one AfD when I get a chance later today. If these pages do get deleted, would 5 or so days of AfD be sufficient time for you to update the other 51 pages with the new template?  By the way, thanks for making the new template slambo...--Isotope23 13:46, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm a little short of halfway through updating appropriate pages. Puerto Rico is the only insular area left in the abbreviated nav box.  DC naturally has many, as do all of the states.  slambo 14:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll wait another day or so to AfD and obviously based on what you've said above I will leave Puerto Rico out of the insular areas I nom for AfD as blank because that article has content.--Isotope23 17:17, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and fix the nav box. What a ridiculous idea. Wake Island has a runway, a few houses and a lot of seabirds and nothing else. In fact, delete List of Midway Atoll railroads, List of Johnston Atoll railroads, List of Palmyra Atoll railroads, List of Jarvis Island railroads List of Howland Island railroads etc etc etc as well. Why would someone create all these articles for 1 mile long spits of rock, sand and coral rather than just fix a patently awful nav box? Sabine's Sunbird 00:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete unless Wake Island actually has railroads on it. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:48, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
