Rail gauges and power supply of Hong Kong rails
This small article does not appear to have much room to grow when it all does is to list rail gauges and the power supply of railway lines in Hong Kong. The amount of content does not justify having its own article. This information can easily be merged into any of the relevant articles, such as in Trains on the MTR, KCR, Transport in Hong Kong etc, unless it can be demonstrated that it has room to be expanded into a full-length article? --Huaiwei 03:16, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Feel free to boldly merge - this is not a matter requiring resolution in AfD. -- BD2412 talk 03:29, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful information and encyclopædic. Length is not always relevant. If the consensus is to merge, move the content to a separate section under rail transport in Hong Kong, and keep as a redirect. &mdash; Instantnood 05:45, 4 October 2005 (UTC) (modified 08:24, 5 October 2005 (UTC))
 * Keep Don't merge. CalJW 08:52, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Rail transport in Hong Kong. Valid info, but not really worthy of a separate article. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:59, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Sjakkalle's suggestion. utcursch | talk 11:33, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Prefer keep to merge, doesn't look like something you'd want on a main page like Transport in Hong Kong. Kappa 14:17, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment But I doubt people will be typing "Rail gauges and power supply of Hong Kong rails" to get this information. Articles like these are usually helper articles which need to be split off either because the main article is too long, or this suplementary info is too detailed to fit into the main page. This article do not fit into either scenario. While I agree redirecting to Transport in Hong Kong may be far too general, having this information incorporated into MTR, KRC and/or Trains on the MTR should be specific and relevant enough, expecially when it all takes is an additional paragraph or even a single line in those articles.--Huaiwei 14:47, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * If I was looking for this information (which I'll admit is unlikely) I would probably start with Rail transport in Hong Kong. At the current state of that article, a merge wouldn't hurt, but if it grows into a full article these technical details will be clutter. I would certainly not appreciate having to load all of MTR, KTC Peak Tram etc if the information was split into single sentences. Kappa 15:09, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Then merging the whole article into Rail transport in Hong Kong seems like the best solution. I didnt notice the existance of this page earlier.--Huaiwei 08:10, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge. This article does not seem to stand alone.  Putting it in context of the rail system would improve the usability of the information.  Vegaswikian 06:12, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
