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.

WP:JNN. That said, Redirect to Tram İzmir, which could have been done as a WP:BOLD action. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I believe the page about the Kemal Baysak Tramvay Station is valuable for several reasons. First, it is part of the broader transportation network in Izmir, and as with all tram stations in the city, it provides essential details that can be beneficial to travelers and people interested in urban transit. Additionally, every tram station in Izmir, including the others, has a dedicated page on Wikipedia, which makes the existence of this article consistent with the established practice of documenting transport infrastructure in Izmir. I have been working on adding more detailed and updated information to the page, and I am committed to improving it further. The station holds significance as part of the city's public transportation system, and I believe it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines as part of the infrastructure that serves a significant portion of the population. Therefore, I would like to respectfully request that the article be kept. Erdem Ozturk 2021 (talk) 18:37, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, via WP:NTRAINSTATION this does not meet WP:GNG based on my WP:BEFORE check. Cremastra (u — c) 19:07, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

İAOSB Müdürlüğü (Tram İzmir)

Appears to lack any significant coverage and fails WP:GNG. Note that train stations have no inherent notability (per WP:NTRAINSTATION) and I'm just not seeing anything beyond routine sources. Hey man im josh (talk) 20:36, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect T3 (Tram İzmir) as ATD. The creator made articles for every station and they cannot be WP:BLARED since there already has been a draftification attempt, so might be good to convert this to a batch nom? Jumpytoo Talk 06:13, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Jumpytoo: I do intend to nominate the rest of the recent creations as a batch, but I prefer to test the waters first before doing a batch nom that could end up being a WP:TRAINWRECK. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:59, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just curious, why can't they be redirected due to being draftified? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:47, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To clarify I meant BLARED without discussion, since the draftification was opposed they have to go through AfD Jumpytoo Talk 22:21, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still confused, since drafting isn't redirecting, I'm not seeing why "opposed draftification" means "cannot boldy redirect". - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If one opposed draftification, it would be reasonable to expect they would oppose a redirection too. Theres nothing that disallows a BLAR after draftification, but it usually will be fruitless since it would likely be reverted and youd have to AfD anyways Jumpytoo Talk 17:38, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to line, I did my best to find sources and did not find any independent sigcov of this station. Turkish Wikipedia's sources were not helpful. Support similarly redirecting other station articles to this line. Toadspike [Talk] 14:43, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback. I understand the concerns about notability, but I believe that the articles on the stations are important and can be kept. The stations on the Izmir T3 tram line play a significant role in the city's public transportation infrastructure, and I am willing to support their notability with additional sources and content.

The Izmir T3 line is a vital part of the city's transportation network, and these stations are integral to that. There are independent sources, such as local news articles and reports about transportation, that cover these stations and their significance. I am happy to provide these sources to demonstrate that the stations are notable beyond routine sources.

To strengthen the articles and address the notability concerns, I propose:

Independent news sources: Adding citations from local newspapers, transportation reports, and public relations materials to highlight the stations' role in Izmir's transport system.
Their contribution to public transport: Emphasizing the importance of these stations in the context of the wider public transport network in Izmir.
Diverse sourcing: Supplementing the articles with a broader range of sources, such as independent studies or official reports, to give a clearer picture of their significance.

Given their role in the transportation system, I believe these stations do meet the notability guidelines. If there are any specific additional sources you would recommend, I am open to including them.

I also understand the concerns and am open to improving the articles further. I believe with the right additions, these articles can meet Wikipedia's standards for notability.

Thank you again for your input! Erdem Ozturk 2021 (talk) 19:17, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You cannot simply "propose" diverse, independent news sources. If such sources exist (and I believe they don't), you should find them and bring them to this discussion. The above comment is quite clearly AI-generated and a waste of community time; I don't understand why this AfD was relisted. Toadspike [Talk] 14:06, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
