Proposed merge of Chennai Metrolite into Chennai Light Rail

Latest comment: 6 months ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Both are about same Light Rail plan, urban rail transit in Chennai. Dcotos (talk) 07:32, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the title, while initially it was called light rail (Metro to build light rail to connect Tambaram and Velachery), the later sources term it 'metrolite' post the official notification by Government of India (Standard Specifications - Light Urban Rail Transit System: 'Metrolite'). All the other sources post the notification, refer to it as metrolite (Proposed Metrolite line likely to be rubber-tyred, CMRL study to explore Metrolite feasibility). Other such proposals are called metrolite, say Delhi Metrolite.

There is only one single metrolite line between Velachery and Tambaram, which is in progress. In the article Chennai Light Rail, there is a second corridor mentioned which is not quoted in any of the sources as a light rail under proposal. The given sources talk about monorail which is a separate topic under Chennai Monorail.

Chennai Metrolite article has better content and is better sourced with no significant properly sourced information that is present in the other article that is not covered here. While a better way could have been to move the old article and edit the same, I had created a new article as the old article was not linked to any of the related articles or templates. So propose that we can go ahead and do a re-direct to Chennai Metrolite from Chennai Light Rail. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 09:17, 13 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Merging the articles as there is no further comments on this and there is a consensus. Magentic Manifestations (talk) 04:28, 26 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
