Rotherham Parkgate railway station

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:CRYSTAL. The only citations are one saying that it would cost £53m and there's no funding and one saying that a firm of consultants suggested it, which ends "Senior council officers are said to be behind the proposals and commissioners and councillors and have stated that they would like to progress the study to the next stage. This involves establishing the feasibility of a new station at Parkgate, identifying funding sources, developing a business case to present to the Government, and discussing the commercial case with train operating companies and Network Rail." In other words, it's not gonna happen. Blythwood (talk) 15:39, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It will happen as the tram-train is now under construction and there are plenty of news reports about so stop trying to delete articles that ARE true. Suffolk24 —Preceding undated comment added 15:57, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

 * This is completely ridiculous, Rotherham Parkgate railway station was already mentioned on wikipedia on at least two South Yorkshire related articles. Also, it is a completely notable subject and will almost certainly open in 2017. Read the sources carefully. Roscomoner (talk) 17:16, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Possible Keep -- The article says that one tram has been delivered. It is a difficult issue where to draw the line between the wishlist and a project.  A wishlist idea may warrant one article on the whole project.  Once it is under construction or (at least) approved and funded it may be appropriate to have articles on stations (but not tram stops in the streets where these are similar to bus stops.  How far has construction got?  My searching only indicated that it was planned.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:32, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep May be useful soon Daniel Kenneth (talk) 18:39, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * See WP:ITSUSEFUL. -- Red rose64 (talk) 09:20, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:CRYSTAL - we create articles for railway stations that exist, have existed or verifiably will exist. We do not create articles for stations that, subject to funding, might get built. -- Red rose64 (talk) 09:20, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The station is proposed and is being discussed but is to happen sometime in the future as part of the Sheffield Tram-Train so why can't it just be proposed. Suffolk24 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suffolk24 (talk • contribs) 16:07, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge the details into the future section of Sheffield Supertram, keeping a redirect for possible expansion if/when it happens...Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:53, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge per Jokulhlaup and WP:CRYSTAL. clpo13(talk) 05:54, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Merge as this seems best, future planned and nothing yet for a confidently better independent article. SwisterTwister   talk  06:04, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
