"Kolya Alyar" - statement removed

I've removed the statement regarding "Kolya Alyar" from the "Innovations" section. This statement has been flagged "citation needed" since June 2017. Mr Alyar does not appear to exist, let alone be capable of passing WP:CREATIVE, and the "Tate Prize" (not the Turner Prize, which is awarded for art rather than literature or design) does not appear to exist either. Of course, the statement can be re-added if citations can be found. Tevildo (talk) 19:18, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Winchester merger

Winchester services was PRODED by User:GeekBurst and endorsed by User:Bearian but deletion seems to have been controversial in the past, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Norton Canes services (2nd nomination) where is has been argued they are inherently notable given how many people they serve and the law on building them, that said that AFD was a long time ago so it might not be controversial anymore.

Support non-notable service station - we don't need an article for every single one and there's nothing to say we should. --10mmsocket (talk) 19:48, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

• Support a merger as WP:ATD. Bearian (talk) 19:50, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Merged per Wikipedia:BOLDMERGE. Hope that's fine. GeekBurst (talk) 19:55, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Technically you've done a redirect by just blanking the original. Can you see if there's anything worth copying over to the Moto article (with attribution)? 10mmsocket (talk) 19:58, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

I don't believe there is as nothing was cited on that page, even the opening date is up for dispute. I could mention it was formerly owned by Extra/Roadchef though I will need to identify a suitable citation as the one within the article was just a link to the Moto page on the service station.
