Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fatih railway station


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Do mind that if you cannot point to a discussion as establishing consensus, then all you have to cite are previous discussions. Saying something is a longstanding practice is not the same as explaining WP:RAILOUTCOMES neatly in your response for a newcomer. I suggest using a text expander. czar 20:25, 22 July 2016 (UTC)

Fatih railway station

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is about non notable railway station without any citations or external links. This article is not written in english language as well.  Nepali Keto 62 Talk to me 01:45, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Delete  - Article subject fails to meet WP:GEOFEAT, there appears to be no reference to the railway station (specifically that railway station) in cursory searches of google or google books. A machine translation of the article however points me to Marmaray which suggests the railway line isn't (completely) open yet (phase 1 is complete), perhaps WP:TOOSOON may also apply.

 * Keep - It is a real rail station. Article wasn't in English and was a mess when AfD started. --Oakshade (talk) 16:17, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Its mere existence doesn't demonstrate notability, unless you can find reliable secondary source references to the railway it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Referring to the article on Marmaray you can note on the route map that many (or most) of the stations don't have articles about themselves, this could be because nobody has bothered to create an article about it or it could be that they lack notability (only time will tell). I'll also point out the lack of a reference for the single sentence in the article, which while not a reasonable reason for deletion in and of itself, without some suggestion of its significance it ought to go.

 * The community wisely decided years ago that all train stations are notable. This relieves editors of the burden of fleshing out the detailed notability of the tens of thousands of rail stations throughout the world when time and resources should be better spent creating new articles of notable topics and improving existing ones.--Oakshade (talk) 03:35, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Could you point me to this discussion (if you know where it is), I wasn't aware of any such community decision. Mr rnddude (talk) 08:12, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not an exact discussion, but it's been long-standing practice and consensus that every rail station is considered worthy for inclusion. Sometimes tram stops which can be argued are equivalent to bus stops are merged to line articles, but rail stations are wisely kept so the community can move on to being more productive.--Oakshade (talk) 14:35, 18 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep as Oakshade points out, there is a longstanding practice that train stations are notable. Vanamonde93 (talk) 05:48, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep Railway stations are notable and AFD is not cleanup. Smartyllama (talk) 16:34, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
