Kent Station (OC Transpo)
Delete Article about a bus stop, not notable see this page Stifle 16:57, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. It is a Transitway station, which are every bit as notable as subway stations. - SimonP 17:19, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, not a regular bus stop. Kappa 19:49, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, hardly like a subway station, very little infrastructure cost for most BRT stations or systems. This is not an O-Train station 132.205.44.134 04:28, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. As notable as the bus stop that I went to for third grade... This article contains two sentences, and it's not encyclopedic.(Notorious4life 06:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC))
 * Keep per SimonP. Sjakkalle (Check!)  07:24, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep -- It's an important rapid transit station. Skeezix1000 12:11, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per SImonP. Ground Zero | t 17:25, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't necessarily agree with the consensus around subway stations, since there's almost never anything remotely encyclopedic to say about them...but as long as consensus exists in favour of keeping them, bus rapid transit lines really do have to be considered an equivalent topic. Keep, unless you're genuinely trying to build a consensus against mass public transit stations in general. Bearcat 17:37, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * One alternative that I didn't think of when I originally listed this was the possibility of merging the series of stations into one article. I don't think this is ever going to be expanded into a full non-stub article. And as I mentioned above, bus stops are not notable. Stifle 09:15, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It's not a bus stop.  Skeezix1000 12:09, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep (which doesn't preclude a merge); this is bus rapid transit, not a typical bus route on a street. --SPUI (talk) 20:46, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * delete it's a bus stop, NN. If bus rapid transit is notable, then readers will want to consult that article not this one. Pete.Hurd 02:39, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is one of many such articles - see Ottawa Rapid Transit. Radagast 16:56, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
