WP:DELSORT/Stations

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Stations. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Stations|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Stations. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Stations

Newton, Wabash County, Indiana

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A defunct rail junction where the only building was, as far as I can determine, the tower building that controlled it. Now one of the lines is gone and there is nothing there but trees. Mangoe (talk) 03:18, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Geography, Stations, and Indiana. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 03:53, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Nothing in historic aerials and topos. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:37, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No information found, not notable. And why should we keep an article when its author didn't even bother to finish its (one) sentence? WeirdNAnnoyed (talk) 11:06, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pithoragarh Depot

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Disputed Draftification and AFC Rejection by Grumpylawnchair. WP:DRAFTOBJECT applies. Notwithstanding our function as a gazetteer, references that pass WP:42 are a requirement. No references = no article. Fails WP:V hence WP:GNG 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 12:38, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Business, Travel and tourism, Transportation, and Uttarakhand. 🇵🇸‍🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦‍🇵🇸 12:38, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, none of these sources, nor any that I've been able to locate, pass WP:SIRS; this entity is non-notable. No objection to redirect to Pithoragarh § Transport as a possible ATD. Bobby Cohn 🍁 (talk) 13:59, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Stations-related deletion discussions. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 16:55, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete WP:LLM garbage. Even if notable it needs a TNT to make it workable. Jumpytoo Talk 17:14, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Jumpytoo, I went ahead and cleaned up the article; perhaps you may want to revisit your !vote for notability. — WeWake (talk) 09:08, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - the sources in the article do not establish notability, and I am also unable to find any more reliable sources. The depot is not notable. Meadowlark (talk) 02:19, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Meadowlark, coverage is not in English language - see my !vote for better search terms. — WeWake (talk) 09:15, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Are standards for "bus depots" similar to railway stations or stricter? The former, to my understanding, is OK with sufficient verifiable information (to write an article) for it to be in mainspace. If there are fewer/no concerns around notability, I can attempt a full re-write; otherwise, it'll be a wasted effort. WeWake (talk) 21:04, 21 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - the comment "LLM garbage" got my attention since LLMs can generate fake refs that look good. I checked all of these refs; none are fictitious LLM creations. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 22:34, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The depot is a critical part of public transportation infrastructure in the state of Uttarakhand (pop. ~12 million) and provides connectivity to neighboring states; has long-range bus services. Issues with the service, depot, as well as infrastructure update is regularly covered in news due to impact - search for "पिथौरागढ़ डिपो" to get coverage for notability and verifiability concerns. I've also cleaned up the article in the meantime to address concerns with un-encylopedic nature of it. WeWake (talk) 09:14, 26 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Devons Road DLR station

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Nothing on the page to suggest there are sufficient independent RS to meet the inclusion criteria. WP:NTRAINSTATION WP:NOTEVERYTHING JMWt (talk) 09:36, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Transportation and England. JMWt (talk) 09:36, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (expecting snowball keep frankly). Just because there are no sources on the article does not mean they do not exist. MRSC (talk) 09:43, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
if you could suggest some relevant sources that meet the standards for inclusion that would be great. Thanks. JMWt (talk) 09:49, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Stations-related deletion discussions. Shellwood (talk) 10:09, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I see a few book sources in the article. Have you verified that the offline sources also do not provide SIGCOV? Generally active British railway stations are kept at AfD because of the offline sourcing. Jumpytoo Talk 21:13, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Plenty of sourcing available. Vast amounts have been written about all stations in the UK. Satisfies WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:10, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star Mississippi 01:57, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Eh, thinking redirect to section on initial line in Docklands Light Rail About half the text of the article is actually about that initial line, and about the only section that isn't filler is the description of the station itself and its alterations. I'm thinking a better solution would be to break out articles of the various lines into separate articles. Mangoe (talk) 12:19, 22 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the edits made by MRSC. While stations are not automatically notable, this is an active station and does have coverage in sources, as well as some shorter mentions in sources about other topics. – Epicgenius (talk) 03:58, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
