Proposed deletion[edit]

I contested the notice, because I see that this editor is working on a series of such articles and has clear expertise on the subject. There are clear WP:CRYSTAL issues here, and the article will need to be reworked to meet policy, but it seems that a.) there is enough information on the issue of rail gauge in Afghanistan to create an article as part of this series, b.) the editor is sufficiently knowledgeable to give it a shot. We should let him/her work with it. Mr. IP (talk) 23:53, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I yield to superior research on the subject :) I was just patrolling new articles at the time ... if it's going to be part of a good series, I see no need to bring it to AfD. RayAYang (talk) 23:57, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Me too - I was a little thrown off at first, but then I checked the guy out, and it seems like he's got a thing about rail gauge :) I'm gonna run through the ones he's been making and do some cleanup. I think they're being translated from German. Mr. IP (talk) 00:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where does this material belong?[edit]

The material on Break-of-gauge is interesting? But I am curious as to why this material shouldn't be used to improve the Break-of-gauge article, with a

left here.

Now personally I wouldn't have a problem with the rump this article remaining here.

Rationale for redirecting[edit]

This article was prodded (I now see incorrectly, given the 2008 discussion) with the rationale that it contained no encyclopaedic information that was not in Rail transport in Afghanistan#Track gauge. There was indeed no such information, so this doesn't (at least at this time) warrant a separate article however I disagree with deletion given that this is a very plausible search term given each of the article history, the active decision to standardise on a rail gauge, the different gauges used in surrounding countries and being part of a series of articles about rail gauges in various countries. Accordingly, I redirected this to the section on the main article and removed the link to here from there. Thryduulf (talk) 15:39, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
