PRIDE, Melbourne rail network

Not notable. Why is a generic timetabling system purchased by one railroad company entitled to a article? Sir Birdman (talk) 08:15, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - Perhaps because it covers the whole system of Australia's second largest city? TaintedZebra (talk) 10:02, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Undecided - Is there anything especially noteworthy about the system? The article reads like it could with minor modifications be renamed to "generic passenger information system". But maybe I've missed something that makes this one special? --Arcanios (talk) 13:30, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Redirect and merge to Railways in Melbourne. It not sufficiently notable to be in an article on its own. --Bduke (talk) 00:21, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge to Railways in Melbourne as per User:Bduke. Capitalistroadster (talk) 02:06, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Redirect and merge to Railways in Melbourne. Agree with previous two editors, Not notable as a stand alone article. If this article is allowed to exist as it stands then every other organization who has a similar timetabling system could have an article, airlines, railroads, etc, etc. Sir Birdman (talk) 07:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per above, unless notability independent of Melbourne / Victorian railways can be demonstrated (eg: through use on other networks either rail or otherwise).Garrie 11:10, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge, an interesting part of the Melbourne rail system that is worth covering, but not really notable enough on its own for inclusion. Lankiveil (talk) 12:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC).
 * Redirect and merge as per above. Kingpomba (talk) 03:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Merge Ah, so that's what they call those things! They're quite useful, I used them a fair bit on my recent Melbourne trip. It actually dials a number specific to the platform and station and gives one electronically generated information about the next two trains. Also generates announcements for delays (of which there seemed to be many). Orderinchaos 01:32, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
