The article List of train departures in China has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Frankly, I'm baffled by this. Also, it is not encyclopedic: we are not a ... fill in the blank, lots of things, including a train schedule.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

How about merging it into the page G-series trains and other such pages? I think that they are just too short. Also, there are other lists concerning these transport stuff, (e.g. List of bus routes in Singapore. Frankly I'm quite new (just 3 days on the English wiki, 1 month on Chinese), and I remember seeing something called Wikivoyage. I once saw this page and it said that "if a travel guide is intended, the use of Wikivoyage is strongly recommended". So do you think this fits in there? 數神 ( talk) 02:43, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
Deleted. 數神 ( talk) 05:03, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
But I still have one question: as I have the whole database with me, is it acceptable if I write a simplified version of the table keeping only the route number and the two termini? This looks less like a schedule and might be accepted. Please tell me whether it is okay. 數神 ( talk) 07:35, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
I want to ask if it is okay to re-create the pages made by User:Cnrail37592114, a sockpuppet of User:Tratra22395768, in particular the page about Nanning East Railway Station, which User:Timotheus Canens deleted about 9 years ago. The size and significance of this station is (now) large, and seriously deserves an article. I am not a sock puppet of User:Tratra22395768. So is it acceptable for me to create that page again (and maybe other Chinese railway-related articles)? Please reply to me ASAP. 數神 ( talk) 05:51, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Please don't remove AfC decline notices and comments left by AfC reviewers on a draft page. The comments are there not only for your benefit, but also for the benefit of other AfC reviewers and other editors. If the draft is eventually approved, all of the comments and templates previously added will be removed the AfC reviewer who approves it.
It's also not really wise to submitted a declined draft for another review pretty much immediately after it has been declined. If all that was wrong with the draft were some simple formatting fixes, it most likely wouldn't have been declined in the first place. So, if you have questions as to why the draft was declined, you can always ask for clarification on the reviewers user talk page or at WP:AFCHELP. Resubmitting a declined draft so quickly can be easily be mistaken for trying to WP:GAME the system and for "AfC reviewer shopping" in the hope that the next time will lead to a different result. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:29, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

Hello Lord of the Math,I’m pretty sure you misjudged what I was editing,this is an anime regarding fictional characters meaning there aren’t any actual “living people’s biography” I could edit if I wanted to(save the author)maybe you mistook it for that but that’s not what I did .
Also i was wondering if yo could expound on your claim of me “vandalizing” when all ok doing is editing a few words and rearranging sentences which unless that actually counts when it comes to Wikipedia doesn’t really seem fair. Hoping we can resolve this civilly thanks KDrayton33 (talk) 08:17, 20 January KDrayton33 ( talk) 08:35, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
so after looking at the proper term for Wikipedia’s version of vandalism it explicitly states “even if misguided,any good faith effort to improve the encyclopedia is not vandalism” and that “if it is clear that an editor is intending to improve Wikipedia their edits are not vandalism,even if they violate some core policy” and that’s exavtky what I did. If you look at the changes you can see how not once did I intentionally try to harm the page or slander people’s other works,rather improving and removing unnecessary remarks towards fictional characters. I meant zero harm so it really struck me as odd when I was being accused of doing so
Especially when the rules also state “mislabeling good-faith edits as vandalism can be harmful,as it makes users less likely to respond to corrective advice. For that reason adviid hsing the term unless it’s cellar the user means to harm Wikipedia. So again maybe there was a misstep but my intentions were pure from the start. Hope that clears some things up KDrayton33 ( talk) 08:41, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
