Becontree Heath bus station

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable bus station. As per https://tfl.gov.uk/bus/stop/490003764W/becontree-heath-bus-station/, only three London buses serve this bus station which make this a non-notable bus station so it should be deleted. Pkbwcgs (talk) 22:26, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to Becontree Heath as a "Transport" section (as a viable alternative to deletion). Bookscale (talk) 12:35, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Looking at Google Streetview, the bus station no longer exists. A residential development is under construction on the site of the bus station and the adjacent land. A travel section in Becontree Heath might mention that there was once a bus station. --DavidCane (talk) 10:22, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - the fact that the bus station no longer exists does not mean it was never notable. Your rationale for deletion is really an argument for merging the page. Bookscale (talk) 23:01, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It was not a bus station; it was an area where buses terminated and that is not at all notable. Pkbwcgs (talk) 09:42, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - that's not my point. The point I made was that just because it is demolished doesnt take any notability it may have away. And if it's not a bus station why is it called that? Bookscale (talk) 10:25, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It shouldn't have been called that. There is not bus station. There is no bus garage. I don't know why it is called that. It is simply a bus stop. At one point, Becontree Heath may have had a bus station but I can't find any sources online justifying that Becontree Heath did have a bus station. A bus station is normally larger than a bus stop. A bus stop where only three buses stop at is not considered to be notable. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:54, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't mind your merge proposal for the other bus stops because they seem reasonable. However, I strongly believe this article about a bus stop in Becontree Heath should be deleted. Pkbwcgs (talk) 11:58, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It seems to have been a terminating facility as well as a bus stop nearby - so "bus station" may be a relevant term for such a facility. We have them in Australia for similar purposes. Anyway - I'm not sure why a merge is not a viable option in this case. Bookscale (talk) 12:03, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, it's an effing bus station, something so common as to be the definition of trivial. At least given that there seems to be no coverage of it (WP:N). Banalities like these should not be merged.  Sandstein   16:35, 8 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - Sandstein, as an administrator, the sort of comment in your first sentence is really not appropriate. Could you please strike through that comment? Bookscale (talk) 02:12, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
