Astoria - Mini Mart Bus Stop (Oregon Coachways)

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable bus stop. As per WP:OUTCOMES, this had been discussed before and it was decided then too that bus stops are non-notable. However I have not been able to find that exact AfD precedent, so I have nominated this article. xC | ☎  07:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I would also like to draw attention to this similar page -

 * Delete per WP:OUTCOMES. Beno1000 09:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete all We've already decided this doesn't fly. No express claims are made as to why these bus stops should be exceptional. Deranged bulbasaur 09:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all If the notability of this rides on WP:LOCAL, it fails. -- Charlene 09:59, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete all fails WP:N due to being referenced only to the Amtrak website. If it is not notable enough to have multiple reliable sources create substantial coverage of it, then there does not appear to be sufficient information available from reliable sources to ever create more than a stub, so it does not deserve an article. The Amtrak site listing shows that it exists, but Wikipedia is not a set of stubs on everything that exists in the world, or one could create an article about every phone booth, lamp post and mailbox.

 * Delete all per above. :All Oregon articles created by MrFish as part of a larger series, perhaps other noms are in order? This member of WikiProject Oregon thanks you. :) Katr67 15:51, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment - I note that there are several other non-notable railway stations such as Albany (Amtrak station) and Anniston (Amtrak station). Could we also have a look at such pages, or shall I open a new AfD? I ask since I wonder how notable such stations are, and I was just wondering... xC | ☎  16:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment If there are any more bus stations those should be looked at, but I don't think the actual railway stations should be blanket afd'ed. Those need to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. Most of the Oregon ones have some historical significance. There are a few others that are merely a rail platform and don't include a historic rail station. I think checking in with the WikiProject Trains people would be a good idea. Katr67 17:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment What is the idea of keeping adding articles for deletion after someone has expressed his opinoin? Procedurally I suggest that the closing admin only count deletion votes for articles listed BEFORE someone "voted." These are late hits. It would be better to get your collection of articles together and THEN list them, or to create a separate AFD. Edison 22:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Note The articles I suggested have not been officially added to this afd. I'll list them separately. Katr67 22:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Deleting s bus stop is one thing, i think worldwide no one's made an article that meets notability yet, however xC comment re railway stations is like touching the third rail itself. It has been decreed somewhere that railway stations are notable. Pickle 01:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment That's because a bus stop is usually not much more than a sign on a post, or maybe a storefront at most. A railway station is a major piece of infrastructure, and (since many are old) they often have historic or architectural interest aside from often being one of the largest buildings in a city. -- Charlene 04:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Thanks for clearing that up. It was a genuine doubt I had, thank you xC | ☎  04:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Bus stations can be notable: Port Authority Bus Terminal for instance. --NE2 18:15, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
