Parkchester/Van Nest station (Metro-North)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I'm not seeing significant coverage of this proposed station in reliable sources. It is likely to be notable if built but I don't see the notability at the moment. Therefore I propose a redirect to Penn Station Access where this topic is already discussed. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  04:53, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep - Added a few sources that I found in a few minutes of searching. There should be enough information between the MTA and NYC government website to fill out this article in due time.  Sounder Bruce  05:13, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * The NYT and amny sources just mention the station in passing, therefore they are not counted for notability. I can't check the bizjournals source because of the paywall. I don't think the NYC government or MTA are independent sources when considering notability for the topic. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  05:20, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep As Notability (Railway lines and stations) suggests, there is enough attributable information on the station. (With the likelihood there'll much more to follow).Djflem (talk) 06:56, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment Wouldn't a tophat merge template and discussion on article talk page been appropriate place for this redirect discussion? Djflem (talk) 07:01, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect discussions are appropriate at AfD. Merge is also an option in any AfD close. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  07:35, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * A redirect is a possible outcome AFD discussions. But this a proposal to redirect to Penn Station Access, which should have been made at the article page. Djflem (talk) 08:31, 29 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep if the subject is likely to be notable in the future, keeping the article will help future editors add new information when it becomes available. I don't see any point in deleting the article only for it to be recreated later. Even if the station is cancelled, the cancellation may attract enough coverage to establish notability.

 * Keep - There is coverage in reliable local sources, e.g. City Limits, that talk about the station specifically rather than in passing. While I do concede that MTA/NYC.gov sources aren't valid for proving notability, these do provide enough detail to make the article slightly more substantive than a redirect.Also, I wonder why Co-op City station and Morris Park station (Metro-North) were not also nominated. – Epicgenius (talk) 14:50, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I also found    , and that's just a sampling of the coverage out there, there's plenty more as well. There's more than enough coverage of this station, and the others, to establish notability, even though they haven't opened yet. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:51, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Per above comments. Bidding is apparently under way, and the receipt of a FONSI (which occurred this September) is typically shortly before construction begins. Also note that all four Penn Station Access stations had historical predecessors about which information is available. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:17, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
