Disambiguation link notification for July 13

Hi. When you recently edited Spasskaya (Saint Petersburg Metro), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Transfer station (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Amtrak stations in California

The article Amtrak stations in California has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Long-time orphan and not integrated with other articles on the topic.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Template aside, I know you didn't start the article but the original author is gone and you added more content than anybody else. Mackensen (talk) 14:55, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take a closer look at it in the morning. Slambo (Speak) 03:26, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I know I brought it up already on the TWP talk page, but since the article is essentially just a list, I say it would be better suited to be renamed as List of Amtrak stations in California. In fact, I think I'm going to add an appropriate category to it. ----DanTD (talk) 15:44, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Do we really need a list separate from List of Amtrak stations? I've been noodling around with the idea of state-specific Amtrak articles (see User:Mackensen/Amtrak service in Indiana for an unfinished example), but I'm still not sure if it's a good idea or not. Mackensen (talk) 15:50, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Well, considering how large of a system it is out in California, and the fact that the article is a list as I mentioned earlier, renaming it would be the better choice. If not, there's always moving it to Amtrak California, and just making the list a new chapter. If your proposed article on Indiana were just a list, it would be too small. ----DanTD (talk) 16:31, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
