Delete[edit]

  1. This contains no explanation or refutation of crank ideas, pseudoscience, anti-science, authoritarianism, or fundamentalism and does not analyze or criticize how these subjects are handled in the media. Justarandomliberal (talk) 13:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Keep[edit]

  1. I'll maybe be contrarian here and say I like having articles about politics or science or whatever that are informational. I don't think Renewable energy, Disease, Refugee, Child abuse, Secession, Cannabis, or Rape contain too much of what you mentioned either, but I think they're very useful for their informational value—they serve as an easy way to find information about these subjects, and I like that.

  4. Needs expansion, but there's always this sort of moral panic about how building railways is somehow reducing freedom and leads to communism (at least in America), so it's a missional topic at least. Plutocow (talk) 20:55, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
  5. Bongolian (talk) 06:29, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
  6. Officially keep, but informally say it needs merging into a general 'rail' page which I think needs an overhaul itself. KarmaPolice (talk) 11:08, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
  7. The missionality may not be immediately obvious but the subject of public transport ties into very missional topics like climate change, poverty, legacy of racial discrimination, for a few off the top of my head. The page itself, from a glance, presents some basic information. Even if it doesn't explicitly respond to anti-science content it may challenge it by presenting pro-science content. I would maybe consider how to bring it to a state that is more obviously missional, looking at who opposes high-speed rail and why a bit more. Chillpilled (talk) 11:10, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
  8. A common theme of political clout and part of some conspiracies. Lavalizard101 (talk) 11:35, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Merge/redirect[edit]

  1. Send it to the essay space. —cosmikdebris talk stalk 14:23, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
  2. I am also fine with sending it to the essay space. Same with High Speed 2. Justarandomliberal (talk) 14:25, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
  3. Ditto. It's a good article, but I can't see what it has to do with the mission. (I'd dare to say that my Progress & Regress Pokémon project is more missional than this.) Luigifan18 (talk) 14:40, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
  4. If delete fails I would be OK with essay too.Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 17:47, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
