The result was delete. No prejudice against someone creating a disambig in place of this article, and if anyone wants the two sentences worth of content to merge, I am happy to userfy it. –Darkwind (talk) 23:52, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nah. We have articles for cruise lines and shipping lines. This one is needful, parallel, and will just get recreated eventually. Stubs are a thing and there's no reason to remove the one we already have (not inaccurate, against policy, etc.). This one currently anchors the google results for "passenger line", which reduces the need for people to click through even while it's being helpful. If you just personally feel it needs expansion, BEBOLD. — LlywelynII 03:15, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The policy is that: Encyclopedic content must be verifiable. It needs references. Rathfelder (talk) 15:35, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The term also refers quite frequently to rail lines that carry passengers as opposed to freight. This might better serve as a disambiguation page, linking for example to passenger ship and Rail transport#Passenger trains. XOR'easter (talk) 02:01, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into List of passenger ship companies per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. Andrew D. (talk) 10:26, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge content as per Andrew D, but amend page to a disambiguation page dealing with passenger ship and passenger train. Bookscale (talk) 05:11, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This seems like a dictionary definition instead of a stub.SuperWikiLover223 (talk) 22:48, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - what's wrong with changing it to a disambiguation page then? Bookscale (talk) 12:03, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Replace I don't care if a disambiguation page replaces this one (I actually like Bookscale's proposal), but this article doesn't have any future. Thus, verba delenda est! Rockphed (talk) 13:04, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
