Contested deletion[edit]

Dear committee,

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because it concerns a subject that has been widely discussed in Dutch media. This Wikipedia page is significant to Dutch people and foreigners who require accurate and complete information on the subject. Below you will find a list of major Dutch media that have featured Cycleswap:

Proposed Merger[edit]

Hi all, I have updated the article to reflect that the service has been defunct since 2016 (!), along with some minor edits. Since there was already consensus back in 2015 that this article was too soon, I think the page should probably be deleted. However, since there was already a rejected deletion proposal it will be easier for the article to be merged with Spinlister and turned into a very small section. I believe there is precedent for this type of change.

I have proposed the merger here rather than on the proposed destination article against usual guidelines since a) there is already some discussion here and b) the primary reason for the merger would be to remove this page. SageMint (talk) 02:03, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that this uncontentious and a better alternative to deletion, so   checkY Merger complete. Klbrain (talk) 17:08, 21 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
