This is a quickfail. The concern is that your sourcing is not of sufficient quality to pass criterion 2a. It is fairly dependent on transit blogs and primary sources with two flagrantly bad sources: the itinerary site Rome2rio and TripAdvisor, along with some other user-generated and social media sites. The article needs more secondary sourcing (newspapers, magazines, etc.) before it can reasonably pass that GA criterion. I see you have several additional station pages at GA, and a look at them shows the same issues plus some others—notably bare URLs—permeates the set. Please upgrade the quality and quantity of your sources before nominating these pages again.

Before I read it more carefully, let's look at sourcing spot-checks:
- [1] this is a blog post, what evidence is there it's reliable? If this is the same data as from [2], I'd recommend just using [2].
- [2] This is ok, I verified the 244,650 figure.
- [3] this just redirects to https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/ - I recommend a more precise link, maybe https://www.ptv.vic.gov.au/stop/1008/armadale-station/0/train/ ?
- [5] no mention of platform numbers
- [6] no mention of "multiple steep access ramps". The article says "There is no car-parking available at the station.", but the source has a tick by "Parking Available". No mention of "assisted access".
- [8] dead link
- [9] ok
- [10] this is a blog post, no mention of a ramp, or Metro Trains 7-car HCMT.
- [13] no mention of a new platform canopy.
- [16] broken link, also looks suspicious
- [17] unclear what the corridor is, which the article mentions
Given the large fraction of sources which don't seem to support the text, and that GA1 for this article also had concerns that sourcing is not of sufficient quality, I'm sorry but I'm going to quickfail this one under WP:GAFAIL, mostly #1, but also partially #5, given it's still a long way from being "Verifiable with no original research". Feel free to put this article up for nomination again, but only after sourcing issues have been corrected. -Kj cheetham (talk) 09:48, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
