Staples Corner tube station

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Contested PROD. Concern was "I'm sorry, but this fails WP:CRYSTAL. There's no evidence that this is a serious proposal and no chance of it being built within the next 20 years." Only one of the three sources mentions Staples Corner, and it's not even a formal proposal but a suggestion in the report of a feasibility study. We only create articles for railway stations that exist, have existed, or (verifiably) will exist - we don't create them on the offchance that an eight-year-old scheme might get the go-ahead someday.

 * Delete - as the PRODder. No evidence of detailed planning or funding, it's just a fantasy. It's hard to see it happening in the next 20-30 years, so it fails WP:CRYSTAL. Blythwood (talk) 15:46, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Question - If it's listed on the West London Orbital map template, somebody must have some evidence that it's suppose to exist. Unless I'm wrong, this seems more like an infill station like 10th Avenue (IRT Flushing Line). Why not Redirect it to the West London Orbital article until further notice? -User:DanTD (talk) 14:08, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I expect that it's on the RDT because it's second blob from the left of the diagram on the first page of "West London Orbital 2008 Update – a summary". The only other place that it's mentioned is in the second paragraph on the last page of the same doc ("It would also include a new interchange station with Thameslink near Staples Corner"). But neither of these are evidence that the line is going to be built, let alone the station. -- Red rose64 (talk) 20:23, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

 * delete. There should be a mention of the WLO proposal on the Staples Corner page, and a mention of the Staples Corner area on the WLO page, but likley no more than a short sentence on each. That is not enough for a redirect, let alone from this title as the WLO proposal in it's most recent form is not for a tube line (nor is Thameslink a tube line) and thus an article about the station (if ever built) would be unlikely correctly placed at this title.
