The Survivor (Railroad Car)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of notability. The article topic is a single railroad car, which isn't presumptively notable. The Smithsonian article, the only real reference, is more concerned with private car ownership in general and has little to say about the Survivor. The car appears to be a one-off so there's no merge target. The article was proposed for deletion in 2014 but this deletion was declined. Mackensen (talk) 11:25, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect to private railroad car or F.W. Woolworth (its original owner). Article content has to be verifiable but not necessarily notable. AadaamS (talk) 08:16, 28 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep/Merge - So you're trying to convince me that as it's been mentioned in an article by the Smithsonian, that it's not notable. SERIOUSLY?? - Bethayres (talk) 17:50, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am. Why does such a mention make it notable? Mackensen (talk) 19:15, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
 * If things that are blatantly obvious need to be explained to you, then I see little point in trying to persuade you further. Moving on, what about putting this article up for deletion too Castle Peak (railcar). - Bethayres (talk) 14:30, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Others to be put up for deletion/merge include: Juliet (PRR) and Westmoreland (railcar). - Bethayres (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi I think it is a good to nominate those three railcar articles for deletion. Instead of accusing your fellow wikipedians of needing disproportionate amounts of explanation, it is more fruitful to find further sources that verify the notability of this railcar if you wish this article remains a standalone.

 * Delete or merge as per above. One relativly brief mention, even in a very reliable source, does not pas the [WP:GNG]]. DES (talk) 04:18, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't get why the debate is relisted. The consensus is clearly leaning towards a merge or delete - in any case the consensus is not to Keep this as a standalone article. AadaamS (talk) 07:06, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge I see no indication of notability. Chillum 14:09, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Private railroad car - it existed and there is a source which mentions its present whereabouts, so, a brief mention as another example of a private railroad car shouldnt hurt anybody. Stand-alone article is not warranted. Kraxler (talk) 14:25, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to Private railroad car- per Kraxler, not notable enough for its own article, but worth a mention in that article. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:00, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge - to Private railroad car, as the article is not notable on its own but would make a good addition there. Inks.LWC (talk) 19:24, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
