This article is highly problematic[edit]

This article is highly problematic, to the point where I'm wondering if I should put it up for deletion.

First off, I can't even tell what system this article is supposed to be about. There is no system in Maceió called the "Maceió Metro" (even on Portuguese Wikipedia), so no matter what this article is going to need to be moved to some other title on COMMONNAME grounds (i.e. on the grounds that "Maceió Metro" is not the "common name" of this system).

I am assuming that this article is either about this system (in Portuguese) or this one (in Portuguese), but again I can't even tell which (I'm assuming it's the latter...) because both of these Maceió rail systems are "32 km" long according to Portuguese Wikipedia. Assuming it is the latter, then this article should likely be moved to either Maceió Light Rail (which matches the first name in the Portuguese Wikipedia article) or possibly Maceió Light Metro (which matches the second name in that article).

Lastly, both references attached to this article are now 'dead links', which means this article is really completely unreferenced currently. Which gets me back to thinking it should just be deleted...

If anyone knows anything about this system, or can read the Portuguese Wikipedia articles to figure out what's supposed to be going on here, it's probably better if it's done fast. Because if this article doesn't get better real soon, it probably needs to be deleted... --IJBall (talk) 07:16, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
