Railway Electrification, New Jalpaiguri

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Despite looking for reliable independent sources, I couldn't find any (under either Rail electrification New Jalpaigure or RE/NPJ). There is no evidence that this project meets the general notability guidelines  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 08:56, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

 * The first of those is a mere list of projects, produced by the relevant government department. It is neither substantial coverage nor an independent source. The second is an environmental assessment report for the project, commissioned by the government. It is certainly not an independent source. The full and complete text of the paragraph cited is "Positive effects will result from improvements in power system efficiency: the transmission system efficiency improvements will result in energy savings of at least 171,000 MWh per year, with corresponding GHG emissions reduction estimated to be 68,400 tons CO2-equivalent per year. The Project will reduce reliance on captive diesel-fired power generation units used by industrial and commercial facilities. Railway electrification will be expanded from the western Assam border at Srirampur to Guwahati, further reducing diesel fuel consumption." Scarcely substantial coverage. The third is an announcement of the plan in what looks like a press release, and in any case is not substantial coverage. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:08, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete, but incorporate relevant information other articles The lack of links makes this article a bit difficult to follow, but as far as I can tell from online maps, this is an about 600 km long section of railway which is being electrified. In general, electrification projects such as this are not notable for an article. However, mention, even with some detail, is absolutely encouraged in the article about the affected lines. If this is part of a country-wide program to electrify railways, such a program might also be worth of an article (but such a program would have to cover many lines). Another alternative is to create an article something like the featured timeline of railway electrification in Norway for India. Arsenikk (talk)  11:36, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Not worthy of an article. I agree with Arsenikk that there is a case for mentioning it in some other article, but I see nothing in the present article worth merging, so anyone who wishes to do that can just as well do it from scratch. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
