MTC Routes
[edit]Hi Nikhil, ive been noticing that you've been adding more routes to the list. I had initially created the list with only those routes that have express/ deluxe buses plus the routes that had more than 15 services a day and night services. On what basis are you adding the other routes? the mtc keep changing their routes frequently and if we keep adding to the list indiscriminately, it would soon become very hard to maintain and keep it updated -- PlaneMad|YakYak 09:19, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I have added only those routes which I have been noticing for the past one year. I have mostly added those routes on which Velachery lies, because I am a resident of Velachery and I added the rest of the other routes i.e the other routes on which Velachery doesn't lie, after I have noticed the buses ply on these routes for quite a few days. You can trust me. Thanks.
- Nikhil the issue is not about trust, how long will you be able to maintain such a big list so that it remains accurate in the long run where a huge number of changes would have occured. the mtc regularly renumbers or removes services as well as extend or change the routes making it very difficult to maintain an accurate listing. i suggest we keep only the very very important ones and remove the rest, leaving a reader to go to the mtc website for the latest info -- PlaneMad|YakYak 16:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Sure. As you say, I am not going to add any new routes, although I know some new routes have been added. Let the list remain as it is. Thanks for your suggestion
Speedy deletion of Chander Mohan
[edit]
A tag has been placed on Chander Mohan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. §FreeRangeFrog 06:03, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Duronto Express - Lead Image
[edit]Hi Nikhil,
I have removed your image on Duronto Express as the coaches in the image are of Rajdhani Express. Quite simply put, why would you want to use Rajdhani coaches on Duronto articles ?? Superfast1111 (talk) 15:25, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

POV towards your own images
[edit]How is only your image of quality as you mention here? — LeoFrank Talk 07:07, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hello @LeoFrank:! My image has a Quality Image tag as determined at Wikimedia Commons and has significantly higher resolution than the picture you are proposing to replace. In addition, the name board is also visible on the train and as such is relevant to the article. If you have better picture with Quality Image Tag from Wikimedia commons, you are free to replace it. Until then let it remain as the lead image. Nikhil B (talk) 07:30, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
