R55 (New York City Subway car)[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The car is not notable and the only reference given says that it's a passenger car that was not purchased, nothing further. In Gene Sansone's New York Subways: An Illustrated History of New York City's Transit Cars, a rather authoritative book which I happen to have on loan from the library, I could not find any mention of it. I couldn't find any sources except from forums. I know people are curious about the subway cars, but this car was never manufactured and thus not publicized except within inner circles. Therefore it may be true that there can be nothing said about this rolling stock that isn't original research. (Also interesting to note that the article was originally named R83 (New York City Subway car), then was moved to this place.) Tinlinkin (talk) 22:52, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; non-notable per Tinlinkin's reasons above. No content on the page either, just a bunch of templates. Acps110 ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:00, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to some article on New York subway cars. I don't know what articles are out there; someone can find one. Dew Kane (talk) 03:50, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- New York City Subway rolling stock#R-type listing includes the R55, but the R55's evolution to the R68 is still unsupported with reliable sources. Tinlinkin (talk) 04:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. Mjroots (talk) 07:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - if it wasn't manufactured (or somehow otherwise relevant), all the above apply. Shadowjams (talk) 10:17, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
