I am not convinced this is notable. --Falcon Darkstar Momot (talk) 06:02, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Named passenger trains are generally notable. Suggest seeking expert advice from WikiProject Trains and WikiProject India. Corporation Cart (talk) 13:55, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I've never seen an American or British named passenger train article go up for deletion and this one does within two hours of its creation. [1] Is this a case of systemic bias?--Oakshade (talk) 14:46, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as above. Shyamsunder (talk) 20:22, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I think that all or most Indian train services have a name. If we allow an article on one named service, we will need to have them on all such services. Do we really want so many articles? Peterkingiron (talk) 22:37, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, we do have articles on most American and British named trains and many of the defunct ones, which also has the potential to lead to a lot of articles if someone gets to creating the rest (especially when it comes to defunct American trains). That doesn't affect whether or not they're notable, since Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 01:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
