Suggest merging with Dildarnagar Fatehpur Bazar than having a separate article for unremarkable station TheOriginalSoni (talk) 13:42, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

… which isn't a matter for AFD and doesn't involve administrators or the administrator deletion tool in any way. Only bring things to AFD where use of the administrator deletion tool is what you want. This is not Wikipedia:Requested mergers. Uncle G (talk) 16:12, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose the same thing could be said without the bold text too. I just didn't know. Alright?

As for the suggestion, I have seen several AfDs going to merge. That is what made me come here to go for AfD, as I took it to be the place for solving merger issues too.

And my actual opinion is to delete. The only thing is that railway stations might be considered inherently notable, because of which I made the alternate suggestion to merge. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 16:33, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. WP:RAILOUTCOMES indicate that railway stations generally have merited separate articles, and this station is hardly a minor one. The article does need some sourcing though (most of the content is easily sourceable to any reasonable of the area, while the service content is probably sourceable to the railway company, but "future development" and passenger data should have something.)

Keep - As indicated in WP:OUTCOMES, rail stations are considered notable and this is a substantial one serving a large city with a population of over 88,000 in 2001. There wouldn't even be a consideration of an AfD of a station of this scale if it were in the US or UK. --Oakshade (talk) 22:49, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Railway stations are invariably considered notable and kept. Not only that, but as already stated this is a major station in a largish town. The nominator initially prodded this article. I removed the prod stating the above, but he still chose to bring it to AfD... -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:18, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I tried finding the exact place where that rule was mentioned - 'Railway stations are notable'. I could not. I asked. Did not find the answer. Brought it to AfD. Sorry if thats an annoyance. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 11:01, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a rule. It's a consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:01, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Anyways, I withdraw this nomination seeing the community consensus. TheOriginalSoni (talk) 11:01, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
