Deletion discussion about NorthOnTrack

Hello GJMarshy, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

While your contributions are appreciated, I wanted to let you know that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, NorthOnTrack, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NorthOnTrack.

Deletion discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. Our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. The most common issue in these discussions is notability, but it's not the only aspect that may be discussed; read the nomination and any other comments carefully before you contribute to the discussion. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|North8000}}. And don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

@North8000: Hi, Merging with the NPR thread may be more appropriate if the current citations don't meet the notability guidelines. The concept is notable enough as an alternative configuration for NPR though Manchester, but may lack the specific criteria. Therefore merging seems most appropriate at this stage, perhaps under the "Support and Development" it may be worth citing it as a conceptual alternative proposed following the cancellation of phase 2b of HS2 which NPR formerly relied on, or perhaps under curtailment? As long as the wording of the article continues to match that of the page itself, which points out it as a conceptual alternative gaining traction in the transport community/industry (Alongside recent GreenGague21 reports which recommend a very similar, more modular proposal. released after the CrossNorth proposals found here: https://www.greengauge21.net/why-rail-projects-need-a-regional-plan/)

Hope this helps! GJMarshy (talk) 18:13, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@North8000: Perhaps somewhere on the NPR page "Some experts and think tanks such as GreenGauge21 & NorthOnTrack have argued a more modular, incremental approach to routing NPR through Manchester via a shorter, east-west tunnel may be a more pragmatic alternative following the cancellation of HS2 2b. (Could then reference the NoT page at Enroute CIC, the GG21 report and also this article from GG21 https://www.greengauge21.net/wp-content/uploads/REVISITING-HIGH-SPEED-NORTH-.pdf alongside this government paper showing the current NPR scheme having a BCR of 0.4: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-major-projects-portfolio-accounting-officer-assessments/northern-powerhouse-rail-accounting-officer-assessment-summary-may-2024 GJMarshy (talk) 18:23, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Probably best not to split the discussion from the AFD page. But a few thoughts here. Per the first sentence, the topic and title of this article is the organization, and the reason for the AFD is based on there being no independent coverage (GNG or otherwise) of (or even content on ) the 'organization Y'all seem to be discussing alternative plans to the NPR. That would be a whole different situation and question. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 20:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
