Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yellow Line (New York)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was See below‎. No one arguing for retention, but it's not clear if you want the history preserved for an upmerge or redirect. I have not deleted in the event you do. But this consensus should be read as a soft delete of a flavor. Star Mississippi 22:02, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Originally a redirect to BMT Broadway Line, this page got turned into an incomplete disambiguation page (WP:INCDAB) listing two more New Yorker yellow lines that neither mention "yellow" in the article body nor are listed on the Yellow Line dab page (i.e. unlikely search target?). Since INCDAB pages aren't ideal, I see the following solutions for this particular page:

Upmerge all entries to Yellow Line and redirect to Yellow Line {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}
Redirect back to the original BMT Broadway Line target, maybe add hatnotes
Delete to avoid confusion over dab-worthiness
Keep and accept this INCDAB

Whatever the result, I'd do the same for the 6 other NY color line INCDABs (not part of this AFD). – sgeureka ^t•c 14:04, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, as none of the entries on the page are actually "yellow lines"; the only commonality between them is that their emblem is colored yellow. (I would also !vote to delete the other incomplete disambiguations, but they weren't nominated here.) – Epicgenius (talk) 13:01, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
