 * Keep Deleting a random station in the middle of the line creates navigational and consistency issues. If most of the other stations on this line article are notable (I did not check if this is true), then this one should be kept to keep the navigational continuity. If most of the other stations are not notable, then a new batch AfD should be made to deal with all the stations at once and to avoid such unfixable navigational holes.

 * Keep per Jumpytoo, but rather than a batch AfD all the stations should be proposed for merging into some suitable article (most likely Red Line (Dubai Metro). Additionally, I strongly suspect most sources about this station will be in Arabic. I don't speak or read that language, but putting the title of the Arabic article (ar:جي جي كو (مترو دبي))) into Google brings up results that are more in-depth (about something) than the first couple of pages of English results. This needs attention from someone fluent in Arabic. Thryduulf (talk) 09:50, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. No point deleting a single station like this. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:12, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Metro stations are actually generally considered notable (yes, yes, WP:NEXIST and all - train stations indeed have no inherent notability per WP:NTRAINSTATION), for instance the UK metro system's stations or Hong Kong's MTR. Additionally, I note this article is sourced and we have in any case a pass of WP:GNG, which therefore satisfies WP:STATION. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 10:22, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I do not see a GNG pass here. Ref 1 is a map, Ref 2 is of questionable reliability, and regardless GNG needs more than 1 source, Ref 3 briefly mentions the station in 1 sentence, and Ref 4 only mentions the station's name. If you think this meets GNG, you and I are reading a different guideline. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 21:34, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
