 * Delete &minus; There is nothing noval or notable about this bus station. This article fails WP:IINFO, WP:NOTGUIDE and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a public transport reference. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  00:35, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Why this one? There are hundreds of BRT stations already here. Martin Morin (talk) 00:51, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * So then they should go too. I couldn't seem to find any policy about bus stops being notable. Google Maps has over 400,000 bus stops in the UK alone. Imagine how many there are in the world. At a very conservative estimate, if we added one for every bus stop in the world then Wikipedia would have over three bus stop articles per non-bus-stop-article. Think about it. (I also notice that you are the article's creator.) — Fly by Night  ( talk )  01:23, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * This isn't merely a bus stop, it's a rapid transit stop. --  Zanimum (talk) 02:30, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * It is. It's just that the bus skips a few stops. An article on the system for the city might be a nice idea, but not on every stop; unless of course for the stops that are notable for some extra ordinary design feature or the location of a famous event. But it really is going to take something for a bus stop to deserve an article. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  02:33, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Per all of Fly by Night's arguments.Curb Chain (talk) 02:00, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment, beyond their own relevance to transit fans and researchers, rapid transit stop help highlight population densities within a city, the patterns of settlement. Take a look at a city's transit routes over the years, and at least in Brampton, you'll see a very clear story of development patterns and priorities. --  Zanimum (talk) 02:30, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree, and that's why the entire system will probably deserve an article, but not each and every stop. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  02:32, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete and concentrate on the system, not the stops.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:51, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment If you want to delete this, then you must also delete all articles about subway stations in all cities that have them such as New York City, London Underground, and the TTC because each station in those systems is not notable and they are rapid transit stations, right? But if you don't agree with that, then keep all of them. (Singh001175 (talk) 05:22, 27 June 2011 (UTC))
 * This is not about NYC, London, or any other place else besides the above stations. WP:ALLORNOTHING is generally not a valid argument in AfD.  Also,  Whether articles already exist in Wikipedia has no bearing on this set of articles. --I Jethrobot (talk) 07:49, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Generally... but this is an exceptional case because the definition of a BRT is really vague. BRT stations could range from a normal bus stop to a subway-station like design. If these are to be deleted, then it is valid to say that all articles pertaining to rapid transit stations all around the world have to be deleted. (Singh001175 (talk) 17:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC))
