Union Pacific 1982

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

These are non-notable locomotives known only for their paint schemes. There has not been substantial independent press coverage, nor is there any distinguishing factor (like preservation) other than the paint scheme. (Compare, for example, to clearly-notable preserved locomotives Pennsylvania Railroad 4800 and Pennsylvania Railroad 4935, which have vastly more coverage and more to actually include in the articles.) Four of the six articles only have a single source that does not directly discuss the locomotives.

 * Merge all. Coverage for the individual engines with predecessor livery is sparse. Coverage of the fleet in general is somewhat more extant. The preferred term in most of the sources appears to be Union Pacific heritage fleet, so I'd suggest that as the title for an article that can cover all of these (and several other "heritage" train components maintained by the company).

 * Merge all per the above suggestion; seems reasonable to me.  Luso titan  (Talk | Contributions) 06:18, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Merge all per the above suggestion; you don't need a separate article for the special UP locomotives, with 4141 being the exception. Just merge all heritage locomotive articles together. Besides, of all the other operators of heritage locomotives, they don't have separate articles for each locomotive either. On the other hand, please leave the UP 4141 article alone. Don't delete it. As it a very special locomotive that was commissioned for a former president, it deserves its own article. Davidng913 (talk) 20:22, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
