Rowan steam railmotorRowan steam railmotor (Victoria) – Rowan steam railmotors were used in several countries and in more than one state of Australia. This article describes just one of them used in one state of Australia. I request the move so Rowan steam railmotor (Victoria) can continue to describe this one and Rowan steam railmotor can become a generic article about the type.

  • Support straightforward. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:55, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Until there is a replacement article it's impossible to decide which should be at this title. Tassedethe (talk)
  • Oppose. As per McKeen railmotor, as there was only a few made i think having separate articles is just going to duplicate information. If we gave Victoria a separate article, we have set a precedent for each place they were used to also have their own. --Dan027 (talk) 12:51, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Dan027. Additionally, if there's a title like Rowan steam railmotor (Victoria), readers will likely expect a separate Rowan steam railmotor. This is an issue to be solved through the regular editing process—either by expanding this article or creating new ones—not RM. --BDD (talk) 21:39, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
