Challaghatta metro station

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

Fails GNG as no SIGCOV can be found. Sources only provide general information about the metro line. Except for some original research on the station layout and exits, no useful information is provided. Timothytyy (talk) 05:29, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Merge to Purple Line (Namma Metro) if this cannot be expanded. Members of notable sets that are not individually notable should be merged and redirected to the article about the set in almost all cases, and there is no evidence that this should be an exception.

 * Dear @Thryduulf, @Spiderone and @Timothytyy,
 * Sorry to have forgotten to tag you to my reply. Hoping to see response from your end. Sameer2905 (talk) 02:22, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Thryduulf, I've expanded the article. Would you mind taking another look to see whether in your opinion there's now enough for its retention? Rupples (talk) 03:35, 28 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Pls let me know what more useful information is needed for this metro station as well as the metro station. Cause the information which is required for the audience is given. I don't seem to perform the task of adding more information that are not needed for the audience to know more about the above mentioned stations. Sameer2905 (talk) 02:21, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:SIGCOV is about individual coverage. No sources in the article provide reliable, independent and significant coverage about the station. Timothytyy (talk) 07:49, 22 October 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting given expansion of the article. Source assessment would be helpful. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 07:24, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Purple Line (Namma Metro). S5A-0043 Talk 23:40, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. Seems to meet WP:GNG already, and given it's only just opened will doubtless soon meet it even more. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:46, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Can you provide some SIGCOV? Timothytyy (talk) 10:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. I've expanded the article a bit and in my view there is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to pass the GNG. WP:SIGCOV is a matter of individual assessment. There's not a fantastic amount of coverage but there's enough at present to write a brief yet informative article on the station. Rupples (talk) 22:25, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * There's only one RS that seems to provide some degree of individual coverage for the subject. Can you provide more? Timothytyy (talk) 11:23, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * See what you mean. Running through the sources in the article most are about the line rather than the station. I'd include both the new sources I put in, including the article on the access because it relates specifically to the station, but I'll run a further search. Thanks. Rupples (talk) 20:17, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Further material now added. Rupples (talk) 23:49, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:13, 4 November 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Final relist. Still waiting on an assessment of the expansion of this article by User:Rupples rather than general statements on metro stations. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read!

 * Redirect as above - as discussed several times in other AfD debates, I struggle to believe that metro stops which have only been in operation a short time can be considered notable. In time, I'm sure things will happen on the new Bengaluru lines which will be reported in the news. But right now the only coverage is routine. On a personal note, I've traveled on the Namma Metro and quite enjoyed it. I hope it continues to expand and improve. JMWt (talk) 09:10, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment. A further reason I'm favouring keeping this article is the potential for expansion from adding a paragraph or two on the new train depot that's being constructed adjacent to the metro station (which is the western terminus of the Purple Line). I came across a couple of articles on the depot but there may not be sufficient coverage for a separate article. I'd support changing the title of this article to Challaghatta metro station and depot. Rupples (talk) 21:11, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to Purple Line (Namma Metro) per above.  // Timothy :: talk  16:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear @TimothyBlue,
 * This needs to be kept as a proper article since all information has been mentioned in the wikipage. Kind request to remove the deletion bar from the page. Santosh4118 (talk) 14:37, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Santosh4118 The problem is not about the amount of info, it is about the notability of the subject. Timothytyy (talk) 05:23, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You mean like the notability issue with Yuyuan station (Shenzhen Metro)? Rupples (talk) 20:06, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @Rupples 1. I don't understand why you are linking to another article 2. There are 3 sources providing independent coverage on the subject 3. Yes, this article isn't notable due to the lack of sources. 4. There was an SNG years ago that was deprecated as the consensus was train stations do not have inherited notability without enough SIGCOV. Timothytyy (talk) 00:50, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * This is not just a train station, it is a metro (rapid transit) station. I am sure all of them have enough coverage to pass the notability threshhold. Ymblanter (talk) 18:55, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, we seem to be going in circles. Another similar discussion has been just closed as no consensus, there are sufficient sources in this article, and it would be odd if some of the articles in the line get redirected and some not given the same coverage.

 * OTHERSTUFF. Timothytyy (talk) 22:42, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Timothytyy, I don't think you need to remind an administrator who has been editing for 12 years about this essay. Liz Read! Talk! 05:05, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * But do you think "some... and some..." is a constructive comment? Timothytyy (talk) 10:48, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Just found out this metro station was part of a recent bundled AfD nomination Articles for deletion/Andheri West metro station and kept seemingly on the proviso to check the individual metro stations for sources and expand the article, if possible. It depends on sourcing as to whether the article can be progressed from a stub. If it can't, then yes a redirect/merge solution to a list of metro stations is appropriate. If it can, and I believe that's been demonstrated here, then the page should be kept. I don't see why there shouldn't be a mix of some stations being kept and others redirected/merged.

 * Keep Rupples' expansion work has turned up a good number of sources, and even the ones that are mainly about the Purple Line expansion still discuss the station as a matter of necessity, since it's the new terminus of the line. It's already longer than what I'd consider a stub, and it looks like there's still potential for expansion. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 19:07, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
