An unlikely search term and a fork of Railway electrification in Great Britain. Was proded, but prod removed with the edit summary (- prod as merge discussion is active) [1], but the merger discussion Talk:Railway_electrification_in_Great_Britain#Merger proposal - conductor rail systems looks inactive to me Edgepedia (talk) 04:34, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Forgot step three and listing it here. So I've done it now. Edgepedia (talk) 07:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC) [reply]
  • So go and make it active. Deletion forms no part of the merger process. AFD is not a big stick. Uncle G (talk) 10:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per the apparent consensus of the merger discussion. When the merge is complete redirect this title for attribution purposes. Thryduulf (talk) 11:10, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree with Uncle G, though I'd add that many people try to use AfD as a big stick.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 16:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per merger discussion on talk page. Then delete the resultant redirect. Merger discussions are not trawled for by many of us unlike CFD and AFD, so that they may go on for a very long time and have few contributions. This case is typical. The article is covering the same ground as Railway electrification in Great Britain, and we do not need duplicates: thye are liable to develop so as to contradoct each other! However, AFD is not the appropriate way to bring a merger discussion to a head. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:12, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can someone please tell me what is in this article that is left to merge? Edgepedia (talk) 19:12, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further to the my last comment (made last night after I returned home from a business trip). I looked at merging this into the Railway electrification in Great Britain, but there is really nothing to merge. WP:merge and delete is not appropriate, because there has been no cut and paste move of text from one article to the other. I looked and found that Volk's Electric Railway was not in the Great Britain article, but the text I added [2] is not a copy of the text in this article. Therefore with no information to merge, my rationale for deletion is WP:fork and unlikely search term. Edgepedia (talk) 10:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
