Repeated attempts to delete this article by converting to a redirect, with the rationale that it is sufficiently covered at British Rail Class 720 and other rolling stock subclasses do not have WP articles. I take no position on the deletion, except to think that it should be discussed before disappearing. Lithopsian (talk) 14:40, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep as a technical matter and as a way to close this AFD immediately, because no discussion is warranted. I don't care if the topic is redirected or not by editors. The only thing to do here is say is that there is no nomination for deletion provided, and no action either way should be taken at the article or redirect. By "Keep", i do not mean it should not be redirected. ~~User:Shellwood~~User:Lithopsian is explicitly not accepting accountability for anything; this is a waste of AFD editors' time; no more AFD editors should have to consider this. AFD nominations without a deletion rationale are to be closed immediately. Merging/redirecting options can/should be considered at Talk page of the topic article and/or the merge/redirect topic. To ~~Shellwood~~Lithopsian, please read up on how to make real AFD nominations before doing anything like this again. --Doncram (talk) 18:10, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram: I did not propose this nomination, please try and sort out who does what before posting. Shellwood (talk) 18:44, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I am very sorry, my mistake, it was Lithopsian. --Doncram (talk) 19:46, 17 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

An article on a sub-class of rolling stock is unneeded; there is no article for any other sub-classes of rolling stock on the site. Merge with British Rail Class 720, which is the main article for the whole class. Creating sub-class articles for other types of rolling stock would be unnecessary. --SavageKieran (talk) 00:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep per DoncramAlthough Doncram is right and speedy keep is procedurally the right thing to do because this is not an AfD but a request to merge, I agree that Merge is an appropriate outcome for this particular page and am happy to change my !vote.

Why is a speedy keep necessary on an unnecessary article like this? It's simple; this is one train which should be kept on one article, just like all other types of British rolling stock across the site. --SavageKieran (talk) 20:05, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the Class 720 article, no need for an article for this particular sub-class. Bellowhead678 (talk) 22:13, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the Class 720 article. We never have articles for sub-classes. ElshadK (talk) 12:22, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to British Rail Class 720, agree with above editors, in line with WP:MERGE and WP:SPLIT no need for a separate article. ps. i do, however, agree with Doncram that this should never have come to afd, discussions should be held on article talkpage/relevant project/user talkpages, i do see that a discussion was comenced prior to this afd so why was this commenced?

Merge with the main page which is is majority Greater Anglia's class 720 and not much C2C's. Information should be moved into the page with a balance between the two. No need for this page Wkc19 :) (talk) 10:54, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
