After researching it further, I'm nearly certain that this is not yet notable, that the museum has not yet opened, and whether this museum will exist is not predictable in the Wikipedia crystal ball. The article was created in 2005, and has had no substantive additions since then. The Weatherford, Texas Railroad Museum is not the museum that the author had in mind. The Museum of the American Railroad (formerly the Dallas Railway Museum) isn't the same museum, because it was in existence before 2005. Googling for "texas railroad museum" "fort worth" -wikipedia -"museum and heritage railroad" only returns 11 results, none of which are on point. Travisl (talk) 04:18, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Procedural Keep: The previous AfD closed just 7 days ago so it is way too soon to be bringing this back for discussion. - Dravecky (talk) 12:43, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural keep but I won't do it myself because we know I'm biased towards museums. The AfD *just* ended. That said, I'll say what I did then, I have no time to work on this now but if it's deleted, I'll work on it in userspace. We have Category:Planned museums so I don't think it not being open is a reason for deletion. TravellingCari 14:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural keep -- We have only just finhsihed the last AFD. If you are not satisfied with the result, you should be seeking a deletion review, not renominating for AFD. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:45, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural keep - no point keep nominating for deletion one after the other. A better idea is to work to expand the article instead. Mjroots (talk) 18:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as unverifiable through reliable sources - unless someone wants to rewrite the article to be about the Weatherford one ([1][2]). --NE2 21:46, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural Keep Take it to DRV if you think the just-closed first AfD was a bad call. Ecoleetage (talk) 00:31, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake; I was misinformed as to the correct process. I'll take it to DRV. How do I go about withdrawing my AfD? Travisl (talk) 15:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
