Non-notable train service. Best I could find was [1] (though that's still more than the article's creator did). I could not find any obvious redirect targets. The article itself has no citations. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 19:06, 24 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

While the article doesn't have any inline citations, it does have two references so that part of the nomination is incorrect, but they don't establish notability and the nominator's link suggests its likely too new to be individually notable. Listify and redirect, although I can't find an existing list, a look at a few random articles in Category:Express trains in India suggests there are many articles of similar notability that should have their encyclopaedic information merged to a list and then be redirected there (although I suspect there will be a need for multiple lists given there are over a 1000 articles in the category, the folk at Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian railways will likely be best placed to determine the best organisation, I'll leave a note about this discussion there).

Delete All I found were schedules that included this train, not articles that establish why this train is notable. TH1980 (talk) 03:18, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Soft Keep: Mail/Express are the train which run at very high speed and there are only few this types of trains in India so it can/might be notable. 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝟕𝟐𝟖🧙‍♂️^{Let's Talk} ! 08:13, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's not based in any sort of policy or guideline. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 16:19, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is an unnamed train (the "name" is literally "[TERMINUS A]-[TERMINUS B] [FREQUENCY] Express"), and I can't see how unnamed trains would be notable. Fails WP:NOTTIMETABLE and WP:NOTTRAVELGUIDE, and for that reason I would also oppose a redirect or listify. Jumpytoo Talk 20:55, 27 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Individually I agree its not notable, but a List of express trains in India would be notable, given that "express train" seems to have a specific definition in India so the objection to listification doesn't make sense. Also, not that it is relevant to my arguments, it seems that this is a named train, that the name is descriptive doesn't change that. Thryduulf (talk) 13:50, 28 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
