Keep. I'm at a loss to work out why this express service (not train) is any less notable than any of the other 1,037 articles in
Category:Express trains in India. It makes no sense whatsoever to delete individual articles piecemeal like this. Either all of them are notable or none (or almost none) of them are. --

Keep Category
Category:Express trains in India has 20 sub categories and 1038 entries, most of which are either very close to this page's format or exactly like this page. I sampled 20 Express trains from this category at random, they are no different from this page. There are recent notability discussions on Named trains in India. I suspect the notability discussions will evolve on the talk pages to
Wikipedia:WikiProject Indian railways to including Express Passenger trains in India, all of which have nameboards on the Guard's Van. Deleting this will only open 1038 cans of worms. We need to evolve the notability on Indian Railways and their Express services. --

Keep Its an important article in the indian railways train service series. It shouldn't be deleted for this reasons ive found more references on that from finding on google for launching and incident news etc.

Keep There are roughly 1500 articles on specific Indian trains. This being a long-distance Express train falls right in the criteria of majority of them. While I do agree that
WP:Other stuff exists should not be applied for only a handful of examples, when there are 1500+ examples and most of them for many years, it makes sense. — Preceding

Keep: Until a comprehensive discussion takes place. Named trains and long-distance trains of India do get news coverage during flag off, route diversion etc. Verifiability also does not seem to be an issue here. --

Delete This is an
WP:RUNOFTHEMILL unnamed train, where the "name" is basically just "[Where train starts]-[Where train ends] Express". Most of these types of articles were only made by a few editors, which isn't consensus. While named trains can be notable, this typically isn't true for unnamed ones. We don't create articles for the hourly service between London Waterloo and Poole or the daily Jinan to Kunming service, which are both also unnamed. If we do write about them, it's generally on their parent railway line or company, not in a new article. A search on Google News only gave
result about an attempt to derail the train, but the rest is
WP:ROUTINE coverage about train delays and cancellations.
