Talk:Railroad history of Portland, Maine

message: Shouldn't this article actually be named something like Union Station (Portland, Maine). All other Union Stations use that format. Eco84 | Talk 18:03, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, but it should also be split with a new article called Railroad History of Portland, Maine. Back when somebody suggested merging it with Portland, Maine (Amtrak station) there was a call to rename the whole article History of Portland Maine Area Passenger Railroad Service or something similar. ----DanTD (talk) 14:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  A separate article for Union Station from Railroad History of Portland, Maine is entitled.  It was a very prominent building in its time.  I suppose we should take the article on Penn Station and merge it with an article on the railroad history of New York City? Melia Nymph (talk) 08:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  All sarcasm aside, if you want to do this, go ahead. In fact, I strognly encourage the new article. And yes, renaming the Union Station article is good too. ----DanTD (talk) 18:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with File:MEC Flying Yankee.jpg

message: No free image is available of this specific subject (the "Flying Yankee" departing Portland Union Station) to illustrate the paragraph in this article about the importance of this specific MEC train to Portland's railroad history, a city which this train both served and where it was based. As no other image of this train at Portland has been shown to be available, the use of this one does not violate WP:NFCC#1 and is thus not a "blatant violation of non-free content criteria" for which no case has been made that has achieved the support of the WP community. As long as this image is available on WP (which the recent discussion closed in favor of "Keep" makes it), then its use here is appropriate, of encyclopedic value, and certainly does not constitute "vandalism". The closure of that discussion of the proposed deletion of this image by User:Fastily made in favor of keeping it (and in which no editor other than the proposer of both its deletion and subsequent review supported its being deleted) accurately reflects the consensus of the community to keep it. That determination thus deserves to be both respected and accepted as does its use to appropriately illustrate the "Flying Yankee's" connection to the railroad history of Portland.
Therefore unless and until there is consensus to delete this image from WP for cause achieved through the regular established community consensus processes, there are also no grounds to remove it again from this article as a "blatant violation of non-free content criteria" (or any other reason) and thus to keep "orphaning" it in an apparent subterfuge to get it deleted administratively against the consensus to keep it arrived at in the earlier deletion discussion. Removing it from this article again would therefore constitute both disruptive editing and a violation of the objectives of the Wikipedia Project. Centpacrr (talk) 21:00, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
