Redirect

I have added a redirect to the Onchan page as there is enough information there to help the Onchan article but not enough to warrant a full article as yet. -localzuk 14:21, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Don't you think it should be the other way round - take info from Onchan page on to Groudle Glen Railway Page! AHEMSLTD 15:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. The article would be a stub here, but wouldn't be on the Onchan page - as there doesn't seem to be enough information about the subject, if the information level increased enough that it warranted its own article, I would say yes-localzuk 15:38, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

We should keep the Groudle Glen page separate since this is specifically about the railway, which is not the same as the place. I agree that we need more info to convert this from a stub to an article, but removing the stub will discourage what we want (two good articles). I'll try to add some better Groudle Glen info in the next few days and get this going. Gwernol 02:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, as it appears I am alone on this issue, I will concede defeat. I will also look into finding some more information. Some photo's might be good.

Manx Name

From what I can see the Manx name of Raad Yiarn Glion Ghroudal isn't officially used by the Groudle Glen Railway and appears to be a simple Google Translate of the railways name. It's the same with the Great Laxey Mine Railway, Douglas Bay Horse Tramway, Upper Douglas Cable Tramway, Snaefell Mountain Railway, Isle of Man Railway and Douglas Southern Electric Tramway. The only reference I can find for any of the Manx names is from Wikipedia or a mirror site. If anyone can show that there are names for the railways in Manx and they are actually used by the railway then it would be appropriate to add them. At the moment though unsourced names would constitute as WP:OR. The Manx name of the Manx Electric railway however is used by the railway somewhat as it appears on one of the trams.
