Shanghai–Kowloon Railway

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There're no such railway. Shanghai-Kowloon Through Train uses Guangshen railway, Jingguang railway and the Hukun railway. GZWDer (talk) 10:15, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * KEEP/RENAME - This is clearly a notable railway line and it will (in the fullness of time) become a much better article. I agree that it needs to be expanded, but there is no point in deleting it now (even as a sub-stub) as it will just be re-created at some future date. At the very worst it does nede to be renamed to Shangjiu Railway. --Bhtpbank (talk) 15:34, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

 * There're no Shanghai–Kowloon Railway exist. I think it is most probably a hoax.--GZWDer (talk) 07:15, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed. It is the Shangjiu Railway, hence why I propose a rename. --Bhtpbank (talk) 12:18, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * There're no Shangjiu Railway either.--GZWDer (talk) 08:19, 3 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. "Shangjiu Railway" brings up exactly 5 results in Google Books, all of which appear to be wiki clones. Lamberhurst (talk) 13:17, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I cannot believe that the only means of finding out about the world is to use google ... that's really sad.--Bhtpbank (talk) 10:11, 4 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete. I'm not convinced that it excists. Either way, it's unverifiable and seemingly not notable in secondary sources if it occurs in it at all. --Cold Season (talk) 19:45, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The writer Ken'ichi didn't know Chinese railway system much, and he created it by mistake after he created Shanghai-Kowloon Through Train. His mistake was fixed by Baycrest, a Hong Kong user. However, Ken'ichi did not know that Shanghai–Kowloon Railway does not exist at all (He became semi-active), And this hoax extant for more than 6 years. I think that it is a hoax demo and should be moved to List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Shanghai–Kowloon Railway. --GZWDer (talk) 13:24, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
