Proposed Deletion

[edit]
  • Oppose -- OK, so this article is currently unreferenced, but I was not aware that this alone was sufficient reason to delete an established article, especially one created almost eight years ago! A Google search for "carpet railway" (in quotes) produced about 1700ghits. Most are NOT WP mirrors. This level of presence suggests that the phrase is in colloquial use, and hence is a valid term -- we just haven't found the references yet. (These two links -- [1] and [2] -- use the term in context. Whereas this page shows pictures of 'Birmingham Dribblers' and the text mentions "carpet engine" too -- this from someone who should know what he's talking about!). Birmingham Dribbler should be a redirect, or the new name for the article. Further searching for 'carpet engine' is unhelpful due to level of 'noise'. -- EdJogg (talk) 13:12, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
