Sheffield to Hull Line

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Malformed article. Not a railway line in the conventional sense eg Settle-Carlisle Line. No evidence in literature (railway/historical/web search) found for the topic. Some train services do run from Hull to Sheffield - this is not a reason to create an article - that subject is already covered in List of Northern Rail routes number 30
 * Summary, fails WP:VERIFY, possible invention Prof.Haddock (talk) 02:47, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. As with the now-deleted Outer South London Line, this is another Wiki-invention for the service operated on a series of rail lines. The only reference given doesn't support the article's name and the vast majority of google hits are from Wiki-clone sites and sites which have copied from here. The article thus fails verifiability and notability as the reflection of a railway service pattern which is contrary to WP:NOTTIMETABLE. Lamberhurst (talk) 15:56, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Simply fails WP:NOTABILITY. --Jersey92 (talk) 03:53, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge This covers tracks and stations which are not covered elsewhere. I don't think deleting it is the answer. The material should probably be renamed or found a different home though. G-13114 (talk) 21:15, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * There's a missing article "Hull and Doncaster branch" or similar that needs to be written to cover the "Hatfield landslip" content - I'm aware of that and intend to write it 'soon'.Prof.Haddock (talk) 06:30, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
