An off beat topic makes it difficult to know what notability standard to apply beyond GNG but can find no RS to support this topic. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 07:04, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• @Barkeep49: I suppose you should have bundled Mexico-Hermosa Transmission Line and Sucat-Araneta-Balintawak Transmission Line to the nom (maybe it's not late to do it now). They're from the same author, and I don't see anything that would distinguish their notability from this one. (I might offer my opinion on the Afd substance later).

I wasn't interested in completing WP:BEFORE on a second one of those articles at that time. Given my current research suggesting no more GNG than this, I'll wait to see the "precedent" set here before nominating it.Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 14:24, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, its an overhead power cable, describing the number of poles used, some of them were painted, some of them were later moved etc. Szzuk (talk) 22:16, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
• bemused Keep Err... apparently we... do that? Articles on indivdual power lines? There's Lutsk compact overhead powerline, Kita-Iwaki powerline, and several more. Actually, this one seems to have somewhat better sourcing than other examples. So... I guess... ouch.

My feelings on this topic are a passionate meh but it feels like this is an argument of WP:OTHERSTUFF rather than notability. I'm not seeing GNG as sourcing I found when I originally posted was either primary or less than reliable. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 15:26, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, OTHERSTUFFEXISTS coupled with a... devoted special-interest editor base is how topic-specific notability thresholds are decided, otherwise we wouldn't have dozens of articles on Romanian 3rd League soccer players. But otherwise, meh essentially covers it. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 15:57, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• No consensus (aka meh) per Elmidae; I'm in the electric engineering field but it would never occur to me that someone would write an article on a power line... but as we have many on roads, railways and creeks, why not? This one has even a fair amount of current and potential sourcing, e.g. a section in Philippines Oil and Gas Sector Business and Investment Opportunities Yearbook, 2009 Transmission Development Plan by NGCP, section in [1], a mention in Philippine Star [2]. Not too much indeed, but then it's a pretty fair coverage for a... power line. No such user (talk) 10:47, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: IMO, the articles Hermosa-Balintawak Transmission Line and Balintawak-Araneta-Sucat Transmission Line have enough coverage, given that they are situated along the busy thoroughfares and motorways of Central Luzon and Metro Manila. Most especially, the latter has ample coverage when searched in Google, especially a controversy involving the transmission line's rumored harmful effects on health of residents in Makati's Dasmariñas Village (idk if these websites I found on Google are reliable or not)

Besides, there is an article with similar topic entitled HVDC Leyte–Luzon. But I will leave the matter to other more experienced users.JWilz12345 (talk) 09:53, 12 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete unless Glen Campbell says otherwise. Articles about power lines?! The mind boggles. -The Gnome (talk) 05:40, 13 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
