Talk:Green Mountain line

Merger

This line is like Luzhou line (蘆州線). It is a construction project name, not a line used by the operator.[1] It does not meet notability criteria and should not have its own article. Ythlev (talk) 09:05, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

@Ythlev: Your external link doesn't seem to work for me. I also disagree that this line is like the Luzhou line; if anything, the Danhai Light Rail is currently a light rail network that currently has one line completed. There's plans to build the Blue Coast Line (藍海線) to the wharf and potentially through downtown Tamsui and Bali.[2] ◢   Ganbaruby!   (Say hi!) 09:22, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

The link is the official API. It is what apps use, and the "line name" is "Danhai LRT". You can also visit the official site. It does not refer to any "Green Mountain line".

Danhai Light Rail is currently a light rail network that currently has one line completed. Let me ask you: is Zhonghe–Xinlu line one line or two lines? A transit line can have different services. Allow me to introduce the DLR. It is a network alright, but it consists of services, not lines; the services don't have notability for separate articles. Ythlev (talk) 09:38, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

@Ythlev: You throw around the word "notability" a lot, but I'm confused as to which part of WP:GNG the Green Mountain Line doesn't fulfill. I also do not see any similarities between this line and the Zhonghe-Xinlu line, or with the DLR (heard of BART?). Sure, the phrase "Green Mountain Line" is practically synonymous with "Danhai LRT" at the moment, but with the completion of Blue Coast Line, which is very close to being done, there will be two separate lines, each with distinct histories and other details that warrant separate articles, while under the general "Danhai LRT" article that provides an overview of the entire system. ◢   Ganbaruby!   (Say hi!) 11:54, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention. In the second example, even a jazz band is considered trivial, let alone a name. I also do not see any similarities between this line and the Zhonghe-Xinlu line. This line is similar to Luzhou line (蘆州線) or Tucheng line (土城線; heard of it?). Danhai light rail is similar to DLR. heard of BART? What about BART? BART refers to the routes as lines, New Taipei Metro Corp does not. there will be two separate lines. So answer my question. Is Zhonghe–Xinlu line one line or two lines? The two branches also have distinct histories (opened at different dates). other details that warrant separate articles, while under the general "Danhai LRT" article that provides an overview of the entire system. Details? Both articles are close to stubs. Ythlev (talk) 12:57, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

@Ythlev: "Trivial" in the sense is a passing mention of the name, while multiple WP:RS discuss the Green Mountain Line and Blue Coast Line independently, in depth, and non-trivially. I also do not see why you keep trying to draw a parallel DLR even though the only similarities I see is that they're light rail, which I brought up BART to point out that individual services can fulfill WP:N. As for the Zhonghe-Xinlu Lines: that's actually three lines (Zhonghe, Luzhou, Tucheng) that are operated as a single service, and while they don't have individual articles, their all fulfill WP:N and their different histories could warrant separate articles discussing each of them. If you really want to AfD this article, you should probably just go through the process and see what other editors say, instead of bickering with me. ◢   Ganbaruby!   (Say hi!) 14:14, 8 May 2020 (UTC)

Closing, without a merge, given no support; objection arguing for independent notability; discussion stale for 6 months. Klbrain (talk) 14:38, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
