List of railroads with a nickname ending in "Road"
It should be fairly obvious. Whenever I see this page, the first thing that comes to mind is: what? Meteshjj 07:18, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It should be fairly obvious that this is not an "indiscriminate collection of information", as only a small number of railroads fit the list. --SPUI (T - C) 07:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * My point exactly. Why do we need a list with five names of railroads? There's so few there's no point in having this page.--69.145.123.171 07:24, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * For someone who sees that for instance the NYC&StL has called the Nickel Plate Road and wonders how many others are like that. That's why I made it. --SPUI (T - C) 07:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete repeated attempts to avoid this process by removing tags. Yes, it's a short list - its also a listcruft list. With no redeeming qualities. Sorry.Bridesmill 07:23, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hahaha. I removed the PROD tag because that's how PROD bloody works - if you disagree YOU REMOVE IT. I removed the speedy tag because it was clearly not a speedy. --SPUI (T - C) 07:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If it was a speedy, it would've been speedied. It was prodded instead which is a totally different process. - Mgm|(talk) 10:23, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, completely useless list. This wouldn't even work as a category. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 08:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, what's the point? Fram 10:07, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A bemused que? per Fram MLA 12:43, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * delete and WP:DAFT, perhaps? Grutness...wha?  13:15, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Okay for trivia, not so useful here. HumbleGod 17:12, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsourced, unreferenced trivia. I doubt anyone would actually be looking for this. Tito xd (?!?) 19:51, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and I second the WP:DAFT nomination. 23skidoo 22:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, arbitrary. I also don't need a list of Wikipedia users named after highway interchanges with a name ending in "interchange".  :) —Quarl (talk) 2006-07-05 00:30Z 
 * Delete. SPUI's a well-informed guy, but this is railcruft. I'm sure there's a FoamerWiki somewhere that would be able to use this. Haikupoet 02:35, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. The size of the list has nothing to do with how indiscriminate it is. Who's going to be looking for this? Grand  master  ka  04:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
