Talk:RailDriver

Is it me or does this article look a lot like an advertisement?

This article needs serious cleaning up, especially as it's written in the 1st person (I have an idea that much of the content has been taken from a uktrainsim.com review).

I have done some 'serious cleaning up' today in the form of a rewrite in formal tone and NPOV. I will also look to provide some links to this page from other related pages.

Moved "Raildriver" to "RailDriver", as it should be written. Corrected pages that link to this page so they don't have to be redirected. ---Majestic- 08:10, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Although it has been re-written to approach a NPOV there are still no 3rd party sources or citations. I have put a one source citation on. If nothing changes then perhaps we should move for deletion. Jezhotwells (talk) 03:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

:Fine if someone wants to add them. I am not particluarly interested in this article, I will move for Afd if no-one cleans it up.Jezhotwells (talk) 13:31, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:::See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Trains#RailDriver_contested_prod - if the article is worth having it's worth rewriting - if it's not then no point rewriting.

:::I don't think nominating it for deletion because no-one has as yet been bothered to write it properly is the way to go.

:::Please respond on above linked page if possible as I am watching that. Thanks.

:::All that is needed is consensus whether or not the product itself is worth an article - from that point progress can be made. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carrolljon (talk • contribs) 21:17, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

:::maybe a merge into Train simulator as a subsection - peripherals - in truncated form would be best? are there any similar products? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carrolljon (talk • contribs) 21:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

::I've added links to Train simulator and Game controller mentioning this product briefly. I think the article could be considered for deletion on grounds of notability .... Personnally I don't have an opinion either way on this.Carrolljon (talk) 00:20, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

As above, I have moved for Afd as I cannot see this artcile about a single product being notable enough. Have added to section under Train Simulator Jezhotwells (talk) 15:31, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

:: Article rewritten, have asked for Afd withrawal. Jezhotwells (talk) 03:42, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
