On 22 December 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved to G class Melbourne tram (1913). The result of the discussion was no consensus, though there was a suggestion to add redirects from the unhyphenated versions, which received no objection and will be created following closure.

Notability concerns[edit]

I get the sense that this article, as well as most if not all of the rest of the series of articles on the Melbourne trams, likely does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements and should probably be merged into one article on such trams. The article's references consist of a link to the museum of trams (not independent) and a link to a web page giving tram stats (no actual discussion). I cannot access the book, so do not know what it has for content, but unless it contains verifiable, reliable, independent, and SUBSTANTIVE discussion of this tram line (of which I am not all that certain) and unless there are other sources on it somewhere which DO offer that (which I am doubting) then a merger is probably the most appropriate step at some point. We don't need an entire standalone article on a series of 6 tram cars in Melbourne unless those cars are somehow notable. (Existence does not equate with notability.)

Removing hyphen from article name[edit]

I am proposing to remove the hyphen from the title of this tram article, as the official nomenclature from the Department of Transport and Planning is not to have hyphens in tram class names. Examples include on their official website [1], the Melbourne Tram Plan [2] and the PTV website [3]. Other common unofficial sources like Vicsig also do not have a hyphen. I'm also proposing to change all the other Melbourne tram class article names in a similar manner, any feedback welcome! Takerlamar (talk) 00:01, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
