 * Keep, the Japanese article appears to have several sources and additional content that can be used to expand the English article. Garuda3 (talk) 16:40, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The fact that it hasn't been improved for over a decade is an indicator that it wont be improved in the near future. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 17:48, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Why does it have to be improved, it would meet GNG. Oaktree b (talk) 18:11, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Improved includes adding the references to the article, as long as the references are not in the article it does not pass GNG. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 18:14, 6 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep: The Japanese wiki article has a dozen sources and gives a rundown of the history of the station. Refs 1 and 5 in particular, then there are additional listings in the "further readings section" at the bottom. Oaktree b (talk) 18:10, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * They don't count unless included in the English Article, if you want to you can add them if no one adds them there is no point in having the article. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 18:14, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * AFD isn't clean up, the fact that there are sources that aren't here isn't a valid reason to delete the article Oaktree b (talk) 18:28, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * But the high probability of the article staying in it;s current state is. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 19:39, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's clear that a WP:BEFORE search has not been conducted. AfD is not a venue for cleanup of substandard articles, it's a last resort.  Sounder Bruce  19:47, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * When an article has been tagged for clean-up for over a decade the odds of it getting improved are next to none, In the Articles Current state it does not pass GNG. 😎😎PaulGamerBoy360😎😎 (talk) 19:54, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: Clearly passes GNG through sources in the Japanese article and WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Somebodyidkfkdt (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Article blatantly passes GNG per above voters, the references do not need to be in the article for the topic to meet GNG as per WP:NEXIST. Jumpytoo Talk 03:01, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
