Apple Tree Railway

A Google search does not turn up an actual heritage railway, just links to Youtube vidoes of a model railway. Wongm (talk) 14:42, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Amoung the inbound wikilinks was this: The Apple tree railway is a good example of a 00 gauge layout. The town Wayworth-on-sea doesn't appear to exist: Google for Wayworth-on-sea, and the search for " Apple Tree Railway" mentioned already. Wongm (talk) 14:45, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete railway does not exist, the information is about a model railway which fails the notability criteria due to lack of reliable sources. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 15:09, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was surprised to find an 8-mile long heritage railway in the UK that I hadn't previously heard about. At that length it would be among the top twenty (?) lines in the country! On closer inspection the existence in the stock list of a Q1 and a 2251 (when only one of each survives) is also rather suspicious to those in the know... I have suggested to the editor that the page could be copied to the companion wiki Train Spotting World where it will be quite at home, as the restrictions on content are rather more relaxed there. Perhaps deletion can wait until the user has had a chance to do so, if wished. EdJogg (talk) 15:49, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Just to note that the user in question has taken my advice and copied the article to Train Spotting World. Also I rather suspect that this particular user is one of our younger contributors, and so requires nurturing rather than anything heavy-handed. (Just a comment. No criticism implied towards contributors to this page.) EdJogg (talk) 09:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If (s)he is a younger viewer, and the article is acurate when it says the railway has recently had a 56000GBP upgrade, then (s)he gets too much pocket money! Meachly (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 12:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it was OO-scale money? (Although, at 1:76 that is still 736GBP !) :o) EdJogg (talk) 13:03, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 18:12, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the article currently has no reliable sources --T-rex 23:47, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If wikipedia had an article on every toy train set, then it'd run out of disk space. Ogranut (talk) 00:10, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. "Does not exist" above is cruel. But model railway in someone's house is definitely not notable! — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:30, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
