Mozart (train)
edit- ... that the train service Mozart linked Paris, Munich, Salzburg and Vienna, all significant places in the composer's life?

Length and date check out. Hook looks good, but the sources don't meet WP:RS, unfortunately. If someone can add just two, I think we'd be good. I'm Tony Ahn (talk) 08:12, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
- I've cited the Thomas Cook European Timetable, is that sufficient? ArtVandelay13 (talk) 10:56, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
I found a guideline on railway notability. As per Wikipedia:Notability_(Railway_lines_and_stations)#Audience, the article seems like a candidate for deletion, and I'm going to have to say that it does not meet DYK article criteria #3.I'm Tony Ahn (talk) 14:08, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
It appears consensus is that it meets community standards, so there's no reason why it shouldn't pass now. I'm Tony Ahn (talk) 00:21, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
- Until the AfD has closed, this cannot be given final approval, even if its eventual closure as "Keep" seems assured. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:39, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- AfD is closed now. I'm Tony Ahn (talk) 01:19, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Article has inadequate inline sourcing—both a template at the top of the article, and failure to source two of the four paragraphs in the body of the article. By DYK rules, each paragraph in the body must contain at least one germane inline source citation. These need to be addressed before the nomination can be approved.

This article's sourcing issues are significant enough as to make it unworthy of DYK, in my opinion. Of the five sources used for inline citations, only one even identifies the publisher of the source material (no publisher or even author is given, let alone a date, etc.), and many of the inline citations are based on someone's personal website (the grahnert ones). The one book cited probably relates only to Mozart, not the train named after him, and in my view that leaves the WirtschaftsBlatt citation as the single relevant and reliable citation in the entire article (and it is used only once). Although I voted "keep" in the PROD discussion, I still feel that this article, as it stands now, is not up to DYK standards. SJ Morg (talk) 07:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
