Wolverine (raliway point)

My PROD was declined without a reason given. However, I believe this location still fails WP:GEOLAND. Per theBC Geographic names database, this is merely a railway point. As it is not a settlement or populated location, it is not inherently notable per GEOLAND criteria.

I believe it would fall under "Buildings and objects" point 3, "Artificial features related to infrastructure", which suggests that such features should meet GNG to be considered for inclusion. Based on my WP:BEFORE search, I do not believe this railway point meets the GNG. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 04:53, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Redirect to BC Rail, which I believe is the railroad that the point is located on. (An alternative would be to Giscome, British Columbia, which is the nearest - former - settlement.) - The Bushranger One ping only 07:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

 * I see that this is the result of a redirect created by from Wolverine, British Columbia, and he didn't notice his typo. Alerting him. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 12:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Ugh, I didn't see my spelling error in the title when I performed the move. I have no concerns if anyone wants to rename it using proper spelling. North America1000 12:40, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * I've done it. We all do mistakes, also settles my nerve, seeing it was also created under that name... Night  fury  15:38, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Best to wait until the AfD runs out, and then if keep rename or if redirect rename-then-redirect, as moving an article at AfD can break things in the backend. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:29, 8 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. I would not favor redirect to either of the above articles as they do not mention the railpoint and anyone redirected there would not find anything. I'm not sure what this railpoint is. On google maps, the coordinates given (which are what are in the BC Geo Name system), are near a rail - but not any junction or siding or anything I can see. I wonder if the coords are correct. May this have something to do with the Wolverine Tunnel on the branch that goes to the Wolverine Mine, or the Wolverine River Bridge on the same branch? If someone can add something more substantiated to some article I would have no objection to a redirect. But as it is, Delete. MB 00:35, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
