Mangapps Railway Museum as an article has existed since 2005. In that time, not a single citation has been added; indeed the page has been tagged as having no citations at all since 2014. Searching what resources I have available to me doesn’t yield any useful cites to back up the article, which mostly consists of lists of museum exhibits. Danners430 ( talk) 07:04, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

- Keep with thanks to the nominator. If articles are unsourced they should be deleted or improved. Sources for museums are sometimes hard to identify. Heritage Railway journal does cover this museum in a number of articles. There ought to be some local coverage as well but on the first pass this is what I found.

- Keep - needing improvement is not a reason to delete. A search of the Vintage Carriages Trust website should provide plenty of references for carriages, wagons and electric multiple unit vehicles. There is also a link to a locomotives database, which might be useable. Mjroots ( talk) 10:14, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. I have removed the tag since 2014, as it no longer held water.

- The tag was correct until yesterday, when the first sources were added - I’ll reinstate a more sources tag shortly. Danners430 ( talk) 06:18, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
- I’m more than happy to withdraw the nomination given the addition of valid sources - at the time of nominating, the article was unsourced, so it’s glad progress is being made. When I have more time I’ll take a more in-depth look for some sources too.

- Thanks for withdrawing the nomination, User:Danners430. Any uninvolved user may close this process with no argument from us as of this datestamp.
- Again, we thank the nominator for noticing any page completely uncited and tagged for an extensive time and then bringing it to the community's attention. This is good user behavior, despite our good faith chiding. The article was improved, and the nom moved it forward. I would encourage the nominator to read and utilize WP:BEFORE, but I want this long time contributor to know IMHO this was a useful nomination and is appreciated.
