Simpasture railway station

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

Fails GNG. Of the seven sources, two are trivial mentions, four don't mention the station at all, and one (Priestley) has brief mentions of a station of similar name but many decades earlier. A BEFORE search does not find anything more substantial. My bold redirect to Clarence Railway was removed by the article's creator.

 * Delete as per nomination. Sadly, this now-gone depot was only notable at a local level. TH1980 (talk) 03:02, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It existed at one point and is documented to have. Why not accept it was once around when ROF Aycliffe existed. DragonofBatley (talk) 08:26, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP: Consistency and per WP: Notable. As it's got coverage in quite a few books and articles. DragonofBatley (talk) 17:05, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Once again, you're making up a non-existent "consistency" policy, this article cites no books, and the citations present do not give significant coverage of the station. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It existed at one point and is documented to have. So you should get over it and accept it was once around when ROF Aycliffe existed. DragonofBatley (talk) 08:26, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't need to "get over" anything, train stations are not notable on Wikipedia simply by virtue of once existing, per community consensus. You don't get to ignore community consensus just because it's your article. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 12:32, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Relisting comment: Looks like No consensus. When presenting your argument, please cite current, relevant policy and guidelines and focus on the article and its sources, not other contributors. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 23:17, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Clarence Railway per nomination. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 14:20, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It existed DragonofBatley (talk) 08:26, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The WP:IDHT is strong with you, train stations are not notable solely for having once existed. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 12:32, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Clarence Railway as a WP:ATD. S5A-0043 Talk 21:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP: Notability. DragonofBatley (talk) 20:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment: I haven't looked through all the sources yet, but no one has disputed Pi.1415926535's analysis, so I lean towards redirecting this. More importantly, are we just going to let this remark from DragonofBatley slide? I'm pretty sure that's a personal attack. Toadspike   [Talk]  15:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * After re-reading DoB's comments to make sense of this, I see no valid argument for keeping this article. If DoB can provide citations to the "quite a few books" they claim that cover this station, they can ping me and I'll reconsider. Toadspike   [Talk]  15:47, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
