I don't think there is enough evidence of WP:Notability for this single station to warrant its inclusion as a stand-alone article. I previously redirected individual BTS station articles to the articles for their respective lines, but they were restored by Mr.BuriramCN. (I haven't been able to engage in discussion with him.) I'm testing the water with this AfD, and may nominate the other related articles later. Paul_012 (talk) 11:26, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Appears to be an actual station as opposed to just a tram stop. We generally keep all articles on stations, including urban rapid transit stations. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:25, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wasn't aware of such precedence. If that is the case perhaps it could be mentioned at WP:RAILOUTCOMES and/or WP:STATION?--Paul_012 (talk) 04:14, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Necrothesp. Mackensen (talk) 16:27, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Train stations are inherently notable. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 09:35, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could you please clarify the statement? What makes something "inherently notable" according to Wikipedia policy? WP:N only says that "No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists." --Paul_012 (talk) 04:42, 10 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus made on prior AfDs has determined that train stations, no matter what size or in what country, are notable as long as sources confirm it exists (or existed for that matter). Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 07:05, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for clarifying. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:56, 13 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. As has been mentioned, train stations are considered to be notable per WP:OUTCOMES if WP:V is satisfied, as part of the Wikipedia's role as a gazzeteer under the Five Pillars. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:57, 11 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
