Shouldn't they be either "{{WP India|railways=yes|railways-importance=}}" or "{{WP India|railway=yes|railway-importance=}}" rather than "{{WP India|railway=yes|railways-importance=}}"?--GDibyendu (talk) 14:03, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The parameter is not yet created. Requested Ganeshk to add them to{{WP India}} tempate. It will be only "|railways=yes|railways-importance="-- Tinu Cherian - 11:16, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello guys,

Just added my name to the project. Can someone update me on what work is to be done and what (if any) discussions have taken place? The Silent Contributor (talk) 07:31, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Create and populate articles for Category: Rajdhani Trains , Category: Shatabdi Trains, Category: Garib Rath Trains etc and probably use Template:Railway line legend for major routes initially. Category:Railway accidents in India is another interesting place. Srikanth (Logic) 13:18, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

can we have a standard for the articles names in the Zones of Indian Railways ? eg : XXX Zone (India) --naveenpf (talk) 16:04, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the standard should preferably be XXX Railway Zone (India). Also, do we need a similar standard for divisions, since they are likely to be confused with administrative divisions? Perhaps XXX Division (Indian Railways) or some such? Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 13:44, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree.. Let us go with XXX Railway Zone (India) and XXX Division (Indian Railways) ..ya let us start some work as WP:INRI--naveenpf (talk) 03:44, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Railway Zones  Done--naveenpf (talk) 15:11, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why disambiguate where it is not necessary? --Joshua Issac (talk) 14:56, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A number of articles in this category are two-sentence unsourced stubs about obscure trains which do not seem to fit WP's general notability guidelines. While I understand that trains like the Palace on Wheels or the Bhopal Shatabdi Express, as well as generic classes of trains, such as Rajdhani Express or Duronto Express, are notable, I seriously doubt whether examples like these - 1, 2, 3 deserve a place here. Should these be tagged and nominated for deletion? Regards, SBC-YPR (talk) 05:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just my thoughts, I feel each named train is notable just like people who say each village is notable.I feel the article needs rework, but my vote would be a weak keep though.We could add references, put the train route template, add quite a good amount of value to them. Just takes time. Srikanth (Logic) 14:35, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Too many stubs which are one liners, that too without any references to prove notability, I believe all stubs should redirected to the List of named passenger trains of India and text merged, before they have something substantial, merging would anyway be done in due course, by various admins themselves. Someone from this project must volunteer before it goes overboard! --Ekabhishek^talk 13:34, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• There are some trains which do not have a name(Eg: Bhopal express,Bangalore express)but they have been included in the cateogory of Named passenger trains of India. Can another cateogory namely other express/mails of India be created and include these in that. Let onyl trains having names like lal bagh,brindavan etc be included under the current head.

User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles (BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>>Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian railways/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you. Okip 02:50, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've had to remove {{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription|wgcat=WikiProject Railways in India articles}} as the working group does not appear to have its own category. Rd232 ^talk 16:29, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all,
I've found some possible problems with a large number of articles on train services in India. Some could be fixable, but many are so short on notability/sources that deletion may be the best option. There's a a thread over at WikiProject Trains' talkpage; suggestions from this community would be very welcome. bobrayner (talk) 11:34, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
