Portland and Western 1853

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Article fails GNG. There are three unique references. Two are simply lists that mention the locomotive without any SIGCOV. The third source is a SELFPUB blog that also lacks SIGCOV (part of what the source is used to verify is actually referencing a reply to the linked blog post). This is a non-notable train article by an IP who has used multiple GAMING and socking tactics across multiple drafts and AfDs. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:09, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. SIGCOV is clearly lacking. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:45, 19 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge (a summary of)( the parts that can be verified to Portland and Western Railroad. There is no evidence of independent notability, but equally there is no reason this cannot be included as part of the broader article per WP:PRESERVE. Thryduulf (talk) 13:16, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete' Individual Locomotive that didn't really have a notable life. This article isn't worth keeping around at all. BigSneeze444 (talk) 20:07, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
