Surely what qualifies him to be president is that he is a former deputy general manager, and not that he is African-American. Why is his race relevant here? It's something you'd put in the article on him, but I think it should be left out here. Ground Zero | t 21:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: "After many delays, the finished Las Vegas Monorail opened to the public on July 15, 2004"
Considering that the monorail is so far a financial disaster for Las Vegas, can't someone do the newspaper research that will tell us about the planning of this fiasco?
How much debt did the first proposal involve?
How did a FOUR MILE light rail system create $700 million in debt?
If I'm not mistaken, all investment in the system, aside from a few percent held by the most privileged investors, was wiped out by the bankruptcy that lasted from January 2010 to May 2012. The how & the why of that seem particularly relevant. 
Without such details this is a terrible, terrible article. Bustter (talk) 03:58, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello Bustter; it's been a while since I did some research for this article, and it sounds like the bankruptcy has happened in the meantime.  We need reliable citation sources to work from, so if you can dig up reference material that covers the empty areas, we can add it to the article.  (It's also Wiki, so you can add it yourself; just make sure new statements are sourced per WP:CITE and WP:RS).  Thank you for getting involved! —Sladen (talk) 04:52, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: There are 8 separate articles for the individual stations of the monorail. I would propose to merge all of these articles to here. They consist almost entirely of information that violates "Wikipedia is not a travel guide": lists of nearby hotels and attractions, and instructions to get to the stations. What little encyclopedic information is in these articles could easily be presented in a table in this article. I don't think the individual stations meet WP:GNG - there are very few substantial reliable sources that discuss any one of the stations as a distinct topic. And the WP:STATION notability essay supports this idea, for example, "Where only basic information about related stations exist, considering presenting it as a table within a relevant article, rather than creating articles for each station."

replies: text: Why keep the Mandalay Bay station article? It seems to me that the proposed extension of the line to Mandalay Bay is relevant to the whole system, and whatever usable content there is on that topic should be in this article (and it already is, for the most part).

message: I added back in the McCarran Field name to the airport under the Phase 2 discussion. In 2010 when the announcement was made, that was the airport's name. It was only just renamed in November 2021 so it's more correct to use the original name and then add "now Harry Reid International Airport" as I have done here. 23skidoo (talk) 22:15, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
