Wikipedia talk:Unusual articles

Newhaven Marine railway station is in Places and infrastructure, but Wallsend Metro railway station is in Transport. As they're both British railway stations they should be in the same category, but I don't know which one. Your opinions? YttriumShrew, 04:27, 11 December 2019

Can you explain why BK Racing, A Modest Proposal, and Donda 2 are unusual? Otherwise I'd love to add them. FlagNerd1010101 (talk) 18:45, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

BK Racing was a stock car racing team owned by burger King which is probably why it was suggested on old archives of the talk page and why I added it though now that I think about it its not that unusual. A Modest Proposal is unusual because (satirically) suggests that poor people eat the children and Donda 2 is unusual because it was a album released unfinished and extra songs were added three year later.

Funny enough, BK Racing wasn’t actually owned by Burger King, it was owned by a franchisee. Nostalgia Zone (talk) 03:33, 20 February 2026 (UTC)
