The result was redirect. It's clear that this is an attempt at redirecting, so I'm going to be bold, close this, and fix the redirect. (non-admin closure) JudgeRM (talk to me) 16:41, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article is absolutely full of nonsense with no meaningful content of history or anything. This article does not qualify to be in an encyclopedia. There is just nonsense and nothing else. It is not even connecting other articles (redirects). It just says 'SEE ~ Little Book Cliff Railway'. The title of it is nonsense and there is no context.

Fix. Of course, it makes no sense that a user did this rather than even linking to the target page, let alone redirecting – but even so, the Little Book Cliff Railway article exists and seems to me a suitable redirect target. — Smjg (talk) 18:11, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You said "nonsense" three times and "no context" once, but it's pretty clear that the article is a railroad, and the content says where to learn about it. Now whether it's a notable railroad, and whether there is anything worth saying other than an external reference? Not sure; but virtually nothing of what you said is true.

Speedy redirect. This is obviously an attempt at a redirect by someone who committed the perfectly forgivable offence of not knowing exactly how redirects are done on Wikipedia. Surely it could have been quietly fixed without going through the drama of a deletion discussion? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:28, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. The article title is referenced in the article target if redirected. Obviously an attempted redirect. In the meantime I made the article text a link to the target. TheCrazedBeast (talk) 20:52, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Little Book Cliff Railway, clearly suitable.MB 22:20, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
