Would 91.106.6.150 and A1octopus please care to explain why they have deleted virtually all the good work that has been done (by at least three others) on this page over the past year, specifically to list known examples of parliamentary train in the 21st century.213.86.33.33 16:38, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

  • I am the same person as 91.106.6.150, I had simply forgotten to sign in for some edits. The reason why most of those examples were deleted was because including every last example of a parliamentary train in UK is something for a specialist rail site, not wikipedia (per policy WP:UNENC (section 4) and the unofficial guidelines on fancruft and listcruft). All we need for a nice an accurate article on this subject are a handful of the most obvious or notable examples. Of course a specialist can site certainly be added as a reference or external link.
