British Rail Class 66/0

duplicating content from main article, main article has info in it. The individual sub-type doesn't assert notability, or else pretty much every British Rail loco ever built would have several articles on their sub-types. Imagine what it would be like in the case of the British Rail Class 47 BG 7 14:42, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reasons as this one:

Delete. Makes sense to me. I'm not against making wikipedia a well-rounded source, but this more than crosses the line into totally obscure topics. Screen stalker (talk) 15:43, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The /4 article seems to be total minutia. This all belongs in the main article. MickMacNee (talk) 15:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge all relevant info into the parent article, then Delete. Mjroots (talk) 16:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Kind of a shame. There is even a navigation template for the subclasses. all in all, the articles and stubs seem very well put together and lovingly kept. But, that doesn't really mean that they meet the criteria to remain articles. Best bet would probably be to merge each into the main class and keep that navigation template for internal navigation (so it doesn't en up like so many other articles: a list of sub-topics).

Keep. Separate articles for subclasses help to keep the main article of manageable size. --Eastmain (talk) 18:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge Can easily be contained in a single article. --neonwhite user page talk 19:06, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Aside from Eastmain's relevant point, these document five different railways' usage of the basic type: it's not a single system's set of trains anymore. Nyttend (talk) 20:29, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  Actually, probably so. Britain's apex as a world power was the age of coal and one of the primary consequences of the second industrial revolution was a huge number of railways and tracks. there are whole gages of track all over england (forget the name) that aren't used anymore but used to form a national network. there were hundreds of companies moving passengers and freight. It's kind of cool. think of the american auto industry before the 1930's and then again before the 1980's. Hundreds of small auto manufacturers makings specific cars. With the big three domestic automakers today, we can't even imagine how many companies there used to be. Same goes w/ railways in england. Protonk (talk) 03:48, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  
  Hmmm. Reading your talk page it appears I might be preaching to the choir. forgive me for presuming you didn't know anything about england. :) Protonk (talk) 03:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
