Bumberry Junction railway station

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article does not appear to pass WP:GNG. Of the seven sources in the article, six are internal documents (non-independent). The remaining source may or may not have significant coverage to the station - currently it is only used to cite two dates - but it alone does not meet GNG. Newspaper, book, and web searches reveal nothing. Given the short lifetime and not-publicly-advertised nature of the station, I suspect there is simply very little information to be had. A redirect to a few sentences at Macquarie Fields railway station or Main Southern railway line, New South Wales would be reasonable. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:04, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete The station was never even open to the public, and as such I fail to see any claim to notability. It existed for all of a year and the article's creator could find nothing apart from small tidbits scraped from timetables. This is not an encyclopedic topic.

 * Merge to Macquarie Fields railway station. Yeah it wasn't a passenger station so it wouldn't even pass the very lax guidelines of pre WP:NTRAINSTATION. But it's still worth a mention as we know it existed. Jumpytoo Talk 03:38, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I can only access one of the sources, but I don't see any problem whatsoever with including this temporary train station in the encyclopaedia, using sources from over a century ago. We could merge it somewhere, but I think it may be better off as a permanent stub - there is nothing wrong with permastubs if they're sourced correctly!

 * This location appears in working timetables (not passenger) for the railway. I can include more images of source material if this better achieves WP:GNG. Jamespyoung (talk) 16:18, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No, the issue with GNG is the lack of significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Timetables and other documents produced by the railroad are not secondary sources and do not establish notability. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:05, 23 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete as per nominator. Steelkamp (talk) 01:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge to Main Southern railway line, New South Wales. I can see that it isn't really important enough to sustain its own article, so pulling the content into a short section on another page makes sense. Putting it on the Line page, pending a future article covering the "duplication effort of the line between Liverpool and Campbelltown" might be a way forward?

 * Merge per Jumpytoo and Anothersignalman. Thryduulf (talk) 12:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
