I have expanded the article to start class, though I havn't refenced or anything, as I am no expert on the topic.

This topic should never have been nominated for deletion. It is a core issue in transport planning, as almost all transport involves some sort of modular change, and there is no doubt about that the topic deserves an article. The argument "Non notable term that could be included in appropriate article." is not true. Not only is a transportation hub a very notable term within transport (just look at What links here), but I don't see what appropriate article this could be included in. Furthermore the article meets none of the criteria for What Wikipedia is not. Arsenikk 12:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree the topic needs an article. However IMHO the angle is fundamentally wrong. intermodal transport is one aspect of a Hub. The basic definition of a Transport Hub is: A location where freight is concentrated for mutual transport to a common destination. The rest is elaboration.

I would claim that there are two aspects of transportation hub, one concerning people and one concerning freight. Since it at this point is myself who has written most of the article, I willingly admit that I have written more on passenger transport than freight, simply because I know more about the one topic. I would encourage you, or anyone else with more knowledge on the field, to expand the freight section and the heading, of course keeping the depth related to passenger transport. Be bold.

I would like to contribute to the article but not without your consent. I would however suggest to "downgrade" the intermodal to one aspect of a Transportation Hub. Is that OK with you?

I believe that will be fine. Just do the editing, and we can discuss it from there. I'm a little uncertain what you suggest, but if it involves merging the present people transport into one section, thats fine with me (just don't remove it all together). Just be bold and make it the way you want it, and I'll come along and make any changes I feel nessesary ;) - thats what Wikipedia is all about, everyone making an article a little better than it was before. Any big disagreements will talk over. Arsenikk 14:32, 25 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
