Hin Dat railway station

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable. Doesn't meet with WP:GNG and WP:STATION guideline. I've searched 'Hin Dat railway station' on google but didn't find any reliable, secondary, independent source. ➤  Tajwar – thesupermaN! 【Click to Discuss】  10:41, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. All railway stations are automatically notable. You need to consider the references that are already in the article, not just what you find with Google. The two Japanese-language books (I have added translations of their titles) look like very useful references. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 11:13, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep There are three sources already in the article. Mccapra (talk) 11:10, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I've removed Foursquare, which is not a reliable source. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:18, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. All railway stations are automatically notable as per Eastmain's argument. I believe this situation is also clear since it is a railway 'station' NOT a railway 'halt', a point of which was raised in the nomination for deletion of Aviation Academy railway halt six years ago and even then, consensus was to keep the article.Bahndosi (talk) 13:10, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: As far as I know, railway stations are not automatically notable, and a 2019 RfC indeed found no consensus to support the claim. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:01, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: The station is very much WP:MILL, and I have not seen any piece of information about it that goes beyond the general directory listing. The Japanese-language book sources are inaccessible to me, and I would appreciate if Bahndosi could provide some context as to what degree of coverage they provide that is specific to this station, and confirm that he/she actually used them as sources (rather than just slapping them on as citations without actually having read them). --Paul_012 (talk) 14:15, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment the article has now only 2 sources which have no link. ➤  Taj war Chat?  14:43, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Per WP:OFFLINESOURCES, from what I can see it is not unreasonable that the books could possibly have significant coverage of this station, so will be Wp:AGF that they do. Jumpytoo Talk 19:54, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per above comments. WP:MILL is subjective, personally I value individual station articles and feel they improve Wikipedia. I feel having an article for every railway station is an easy way to create consistency and avoid repeated discussion over what stations are and aren't notable.

 * redirect to Northeastern Line (Thailand), which has the exact same information with much less padding. A section on "notable stations" in the article on the rail line implies that this one isn't one of them. And it really isn't hard to tell the difference: notable stations as a rule are notable buildings. Mangoe (talk) 01:11, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. All railway stations are regarded as notable by longstanding consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:41, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep WP:STATION (an essay on notability) says delete if not a major station or on a busy line. (If not, merge to the line article.) WP:RAILOUTCOMES tells that rail stations routinely survive AfD. However, the best advice is found in in the 2019 RfC mentioned by Paul_012 is that rail stations and halts should routinely survive NPP provided two notability criteria are met. I am going with this last one, it has very good considerations. --Whiteguru (talk) 21:19, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
