[edit] Spa Road Junction

Its an article about a piece of track and there is already an article: Spa Road Junction rail crash. Mrsteviec 07:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, otherwise merge, (NOT delete) but a bit of info: - When I was writing the Spa Road Junction rail crash, the description of the junction appeared to take over the article. I considered that at the beginning of the article of the accident, it would put people off reading and detracted from the article for this reason, even if it had it's own subheading. I also considered it inappropriate at the end. I therefore considered it best to put it in an article of its own where there was a link very early on in the crash article. This stopped the relevannt but lengthy information about the junction taking over the other artcle, but offered it very early on. Notice how only the minimal information about the specifics of the junction was mentioned in the accident article. I think if we get rid of this then we need to merge and not delete.

• Merge to Spa Road Junction rail crash --Brad101 07:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• This is Articles for deletion. Wikipedia:Duplicate articles is along the hall, three doors down. Uncle G 10:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
  • It is a deletion. One article deals with the junction and another deals with an accident that occurred there. The accident is notable, the junction is not. Mrsteviec
    • Redirection is always a cheap and inexpensive option which can be way faster than AfD. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 10:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
    • No, it isn't. When you find yourself writing "there is already an article", Wikipedia:Duplicate articles should be your first stop. Uncle G 12:52, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and merge Spa Road Junction rail crash into this article. This article can be more general in scope than the crash article, and can be expanded if the junction becomes notable for something else in future, whereas the crash article has narrow room for expansion as it focuses only on one specific incident. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 10:40, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep (prefered) or merge to the crash article. Thryduulf 00:37, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
