The result was   Userfy. There is clear consensus that this doesn't belong in the main article space in its current form, but as User:Northamerica1000 seems eager to work on it, I'll userfy it -- RoySmith (talk) 03:28, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

List of through trains in Japan

PROD declined. Useless stub with no actual list of trains. Safiel (talk) 00:17, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete. Tagged as "CSD A3" - No content. --DAJF (talk) 01:07, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: I have declined the speedy deletion nomination on the page, and have expanded the article. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Move to WP:Drafts namespace or userfy until it can be worked on with reliable sourcing sufficient to demonstrate the basic notability for a Wikipedia article. At present, the article is titled "List of through trains", but consists of an arbitrary list of lines. --DAJF (talk) 09:19, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * delete Wikipedia is not a train schedule, and this can be expected to change as schedules change. Mangoe (talk) 01:24, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment. The corresponding Japanese article https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%9B%B4%E9%80%9A%E9%81%8B%E8%BB%A2 has lots of references. A complete translation of the Japanese article would probably establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs)  02:52, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, it has no references at all. Those are all footnotes. Mangoe (talk) 02:55, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Move to WP:Drafts namespace and allow time for expansion per the availability of content at The Japanese Wikipedia article. Another option is to retain the article, which I have begun to improve and add content to. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:36, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep per improvements I've performed, and the article remains quite expandable. I'm also not opposed to moving it to Draft namespace. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:18, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

*Delete, What list??.....There isn't one/any!. →Davey 2010→ →Talk to me!→  07:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - I have expanded the article. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:51, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, I wasn't expecting anyone to expand the article at all .. *face palm*, Now it has IMO I see no reason to delete. →Davey 2010→  →Talk to me!→  08:12, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment - I did the first PROD, which the creator of the stub simply removed and ignored and added a category (how gracious) but nothing else, as I have had issue with atrocious starts by the same editor 3 and 4 years ago (ie ignoring usage of WP:RS requirements etc, still on the users unarchived talk page), however Northamericas adding material is hardly anything to write home about, still a marginal article in the current state, due to the lack of WP:RS - to substantiate the claims of the text since added - leave this still a candidate for deletion satusuro 09:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTTRAVEL. Wikipedia is not a train or travel guide.--Charles (talk) 09:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
