London Underground Driving Motor 3701

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Despite most of the text being referenced there is no evidence that these individual train cars are notable enough for an article in a general purpose encyclopaedia beyond, at most, a sentence at London Underground Standard Stock. Three of the articles were previously prodded by Fram but deprodded by the author, N1TH Music. Thryduulf (talk) 09:46, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I've just discovered London Underground Driving Motor 3370, which was prodded by Black Kite. I've deprodded it in order to add it to this discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 09:57, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Nothing inherently notable about these individual vehicles that can't be included in the relevant class articles. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 13:26, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Not individually notable - I already . -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 21:48, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm struggling to see why this is of WP:NOTE. WP:NOTDATABASE. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:08, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trainsandotherthings (talk • contribs) 03:45, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The nominator states that most of the text is referenced. I'm not fussed about the others but London Underground Driving Motor 3209 feels lengthy enough to retain as a separate article. Per WP:PRESERVE, "Fix problems if you can, flag or remove them if you can't. Preserve appropriate content. As long as any facts or ideas would belong in an encyclopedia, they should be retained in Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia." deleting this article does not preserve the content which I see no reason why it shouldn't be included in an encyclopedia that contains extensive rail content already. Wikipedia is WP:NOTPAPER. This particular article appears to pass WP:GNG and thus should be kept. NemesisAT (talk) 16:46, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * There is nothing in the article that marks the particular vehicle out as any more notable than any of the other vehicles of its type. Any usuable information not in the class article, if any, should be merged into the latter. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 17:08, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I've just had another look at the 3209 article, and it doesn't meet the GNG based on what's there currently - there isn't multiple pieces of in-depth coverage about that unit specifically in reliable, independent sources. The class is notable, the Island Line is notable but the individual unit isn't. Thryduulf (talk) 19:19, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - I would agree with the view that driving motors are not in themselves notable and any specifics can be included in the relevant article about the stock it belonged to. Dunarc (talk) 22:54, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - agree with above. Anything specifically interesting can be merged. Turini2 (talk) 16:16, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Delete all, including 3209. There's an archive snapshot at https://web.archive.org/web/20210907194400/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Underground_Driving_Motor_3209] it someone wants to write stuff into another article, or they can ask for a refund, or they have mount the thing under the talk page of the merged target to keep the old attribution if necessary.  Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 23:50, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
