Does this deserve a page? Did it appear more than once? Does it have an actual name? --Steve-o 05:06, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- If we're limiting this wiki to things that appeared more than once, we have a few months of solid deleting ahead of us. And of most of our best pages, at that. --ItsWalky 05:43, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- That's not exactly what I meant. Is this train notable? Do we know anything about it besides that it exists? Unless I am mistaken, it has no name, no known function, appears only once, has no interesting attributes, isn't funny, etc.. We may as well make an article about Cybertron's elevated walkways that says, "In Beast Machines the characters walked around on elevated walkways a lot." It's worth mentioning somewhere on the site that this railway exists, as with the walkways, but I don't know that a dedicated article is the best way to do it. How about as part of an article about Cybertronian transport systems, or about general Cybertronian geography? --Steve-o 06:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- The other stuff I have no opinion on, though I'd agree that having an article about "streets" and that they exist on Cybertron would be stretching things, and a monorail is little different. I just didn't think that leg of your argument was a good one, and wanted to make sure that wasn't given precedent as a justification for getting rid of this article. --ItsWalky 15:34, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- How about combining this and the Mass Transit System into one article about various Cybertronian mass transportation? --FFN 15:45, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
- I think that's a fine idea. --Steve-o 18:32, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
