P.C. Mittal Memorial Bus Terminus

 * – ( View AfD View log )

NN bus station. Article gives no indication of anything that would make it notable. Sources do not meet WP:GNG - non-independent and/or non-trivial mentions. Searching does not turn up much more. WP:MILL bus station. MB 13:56, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. In India, bus terminals are important. I added some news articles that suggest that some bus routes could be shifted to this terminal to reduce traffic congestion. Interestingly, this terminal was officially opened by Buddhadev Bhattacharya, the then chief minister of West Bengal. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 14:28, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep improved since nomination by Eastmain. A major station which apparently has 28 bays. NemesisAT (talk) 18:41, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Of the sources cited, the more reliable ones contain only minimal mention of this bus station. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Here's my review of the sources:
 * Sabmilega.com appears to be some kind of web directory filled with misspellings and odd capitalizations, and has only a couple of sentences about this terminal. Doubtful as a reliable source.
 * https://www.telegraphindia.com/west-bengal/siliguri-eyes-traffic-revamp-before-festive-season/cid/1828706 This article] from The Telegraph (India) is a reliable source, yet has barely one sentence about this terminal: "Other proposals include shifting some buses to the PC Mittal Bus Terminus in Sevoke Road and developing a new bus stand at Tinbatti More on the city's southern tip."
 * This article from The Statesman (India) is also a reliable source but has less than one relevant sentence: "The administration plans to shift the parking area (at Siliguri Junction) to Paribahan Nagar in Matigara, while buses running between Siliguri and Jalpaiguri will depart from the PC Mittal Bus Terminus."
 * This article from The Telegraph (India) also contains less than one relevant sentence: "'Private buses bound for Calcutta and Bihar will be shifted to Paribahan Nagar, (in the northwest end of the city) while buses running between Siliguri and Jalpaiguri will depart from PC Mittal Bus Terminus (which is in the northeastern parts of Siliguri),' the chairperson said."
 * 1001things.org does not appear to be a reliable source.
 * This page is from a corporate web site discussing the corporation's corporate social responsibility projects, and is promotional rather than an independent source. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:17, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Spirit of Eagle (talk) 04:52, 17 September 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect/Selective merge to Siliguri per WP:CHEAP. Not independently notable as it lacks enough significant coverage in independent RS to meet GNG.4meter4 (talk) 18:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment This article from The Telegraph (a reliable source according to the above comment) focuses on the bus station and thus helps establish notability in my opinion. NemesisAT (talk) 09:17, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep an important terminal with enough reliable sources. Lightburst (talk) 04:11, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Said sources should be identified and analysed to show they meet the criteria of GNG. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 04:15, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge to Siliguri. It seems like everything noteworthy that can be said about this bus station can fit in a paragraph in the article where it is already mentioned. We really don't need an article saying that a bus terminal has parking and a restroom, or even a bookstore. BD2412  T 21:17, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Alternately, we could create an article along the lines of Bus service in Siliguri, and merge Tenzing Norgay Bus Terminus, Sikkim Nationalised Transport Bus Terminus (Siliguri), and P.C. Mittal Memorial Bus Terminus there. BD2412  T 21:20, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I would personally prefer if they are not merged, as I find separate articles easier to search for (both within Wikipedia and through external search engines) and you lose the cordinate info and "nearby places" info available on the mobile site too. NemesisAT (talk) 19:54, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment WP is not a travel guide; mentioning restrooms and the like is unencyclopedic. Would support either merge suggested by BD2412. MB 19:32, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge per . I understand response, but we have WP:INDISCRIMINATE (coordinates et cetera). — Alalch Emis (talk) 20:49, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge per . Sources given dont meet WP:GNG for a standalone article but the information could be kept as part of in the new article Bus service in Siliguri Vanteloop (talk) 13:56, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
