Page title[edit]

This page was created on January 12, 2021, while the orginal page was created on January 10, 2021. It is not accepted that User:LaundryPizza03 create a redirect from The Line (city) to this page.--سامي الرحيلي (talk) 08:44, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I chose this title because it matches WP:NCPLACEDAB and there is no special guideline for places in Saudi Arabia. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 19:42, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Has it actually been incorporated as a place, or is it still just a concept? Because that would determine whether I think this title, or the other title, make more sense. If it is incorporated, this title would make sense. If we see no sign that it is incorporated yet, then the other name would probably be more proper.

Criticism[edit]

Would it be appropriate to add a controversy/criticism section? Alternatively, maybe a reception section? Many people in the media think that this project is difficult or impossible, especially urban planners. Adding this to the article may help readers see the feasibility aspect of the project.

"Critical reception" would be fine, I think. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:48, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This certainly needs a "Criticism" section. Or several, due to the fact that the project went from one "difficult or impossible" idea to a "difficult or impossible" times thousand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.175.106.148 (talk) 11:45, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WSJ article[edit]

The WSJ has a great article about the real-world problems this is facing: https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/saudi-arabia-neom-line-construction-99b3f54f Jpatokal (talk) 12:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
