[edit] Metrophile

Metrophile (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

After doing a Google search, the term "metrophile" cannot be found elsewhere on the internet in the context described in the article (except on mirror sites), and is not even listed as a word on Dictionary.com. Therefore, this article lacks any sort of notability and should be deleted. –Dream out loud (talk) 09:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Neologism with no sources. I checked the external links provided and none appear to mention this term. ◄Zahakiel► 19:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
one uses the term "metro fan" (rather than "metrophile"); another is an advocacy group for public transport users ... --Paularblaster (talk) 01:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as the term is a little-known neologism. However, much of the article has interesting material that can easily be incorporated in Railfan. --Blanchardb-MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 23:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with Railfan. The term metrophile is a neologism, but the underground railway enthusiast is a figure of long standing. --Paularblaster (talk) 00:53, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge with Railfan. 209.105.207.181 (talk) 06:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
