Result: Delisted. —Femke 🐦 (talk) 18:55, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Goodness this article is bad. There are entire sections that are unsourced such as.

  • Development under the Glasgow and South Western Railway
  • Topography
  • 1994 - present: Privatisation and current operations

And is this even written well? There's sections called

  • A resilient mood; but then collapse
  • Regaining momentum
  • The Glasgow and South Western Railway is formed

This article seems to have a lot of problems. This will take a lot of effort to fix. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:13, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delist. The article was assessed as GA way back in June 2008. Since then it's had the usual here-and-there editing, except for one of Afterbrunel's throw-everything-away-and-start-again expansions in December 2014. This, I believe, means that WP:GAC#5 is no longer met. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:47, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist per Onegreatjoke. the stability criterion is: "it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute". That does not apply here. Femke (alt) (talk) 09:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist per Onegreatjoke. This is an artifact from the early days of Wikipedia, and no longer meets our expectations for a good article. Unless someone quickly commits to serious improvements, this should not maintain GA status. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 18:32, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
