Talk:Indian Railways

Near-duplicate articles

The hatnote claims "This article is about the organisation. For general information on railways in India, see Rail transport in India." But the articles are pretty much identical. -- John of Reading (talk) 13:53, 22 November 2017 (UTC)

Appropriate logo size in infobox

Hi, I want to start a discussion regarding the appropriate size of the logo in the infobox. There seem to be two common logo sizes used previously in this article, 180px and 250px. It is my opinion that the text on the train is most legible when the logo size is at 250px. However, some editors believe that 250px is either too big for the infobox or that the legibility of the text on the train is not very important. I request you all to leave your opinions here so that consensus can be gathered Prolix 💬 19:42, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

• Support 250px since at this size the text written on the train is most legible. Prolix 💬 19:44, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
• Oppose - I personally see no point enlarging the logo for the sake of Indian writing on a train which most readers here won't understand and so therefore wont make a difference to their understanding of the topic at hand, That being said I'm currently on a 1280x800 laptop (mainly because I still enjoy Windows 7!) so ofcourse what looks big to me may look normal for others. –Davey2010^Talk 20:49, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Jalpaiguri Road railway station into Indian Railways

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was no consensus to merge Magentic Manifestations (talk) 13:57, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Should be merged due to lack of citations of verifiable sources. TRL (talk) 00:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Not sure of the rationale of this proposal. For one, individual railway station articles cannot be merged with the main article of Indian Railways. The article is similar to thousands of other articles on Indian railway stations that are existent in Wiki and not sure what is different here to warrant deletion/merging. If there are lack of citations, it needs to be addressed. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 05:41, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Agreed. I don't think a merge makes any sense, as the content would look completely out of place in Indian Railways. The solution is to fix the sourcing (and possibly delete some of the info that cannot be sourced) in Jalpaiguri Road railway station. Pichpich (talk) 21:54, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
