The result of the debate was delete. – ABCD 16:03, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Appears to be captions for photos, minus the photos, and thus not making very much sense. Also appears to be heavily based on [1] and [2], which are included as external links. —tregoweth 04:31, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete article, but merge external links to Bridge. Halidecyphon 07:37, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- This could be a somewhat interesting if trivial article, however this content is poorly organized and the article is misnamed (should be Bridge railing styles in California) Delete and wait for someone with a similar obsession to write a good article. Dsmdgold 13:50, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
- If the problem is poor content and naming, why not rename it as Bridge railing styles in California and mark it for cleanup? Deleting, IMNSHO, should be reserved for stuff that doesn't belong on Wikipedia enough. Alba 23:26, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I realized that I didn't fully explain my vote above. Bridge Railing Styles in the United States is clearly non-encyclopedic. An article on Railings would be justified. If someone wants to write an article on railings, be my guest. However, a cut and paste list of captions to someone's website about bridge railings in California (the true content of this "article") fails to establish notability. --Halidecyphon 15:13, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Question: The article creator has done a cut-and-paste move of this article to United States bridge designs, possibly in an attempt to sidestep VfD. Now what do we do? —tregoweth 14:52, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
- We VfD the new page. What tedium. --Halidecyphon 07:21, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
