The result was Draftify. There's pretty clear consensus this isn't ready for stand-alone mainspace. I'll also rename this to Draft:Pensacola Railroad per Mackensen's suggestion. There's nothing to prevent somebody from merging this out of draft space if they want to. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:35, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Doesn't seem to be notable. The given source is primary. only discusses the subject briefly and indicates it barely existed. I'm just not finding anything else about this railroad, although since it was only active 1877 to 1880, it may be in print sources I can't access. Hog Farm Bacon 18:54, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

Maybe I should have started the article as a draft. I'm adding info about the subject company and the railroad it operated, so stay tuned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElderHap (talk • contribs) 20:01, 20 August 2020 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Draftify: to give new creator time to work on it.  // Timothy ::  talk  01:08, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify – to allow time for it's creator to work on it. Having been nominated for deletion sixteen minutes after its creation, this is a bit of a WP:RUSHed nomination. North America1000 12:03, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. A railroad that owned and operated track is notable. I've found a couple sources, most notably the standard history of the Louisville and Nashville. There may not be enough material for a standalone article, in which case Alabama and Florida Railroad (1853–1869) would be the obvious merge target. If this is kept as a standalone it should be moved to Pensacola Railroad which is the convention for articles about railroads. Mackensen (talk) 12:34, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
