A discussion is ongoing at Template talk:SMRT infobox colour on whether to keep the new or old format of the infobox station name template that's on top of every MRT article.--ZKang123 (talk) 12:16, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Notability

I would appreciate advice on the Notability of train stations. I am aware of the general advice, Wikipedia:NTRAINSTATION, which states that stations do not have inherent Notability. I am therefore assuming one needs to look at:

  • Is there sufficient coverage in a range of reliable sources?
  • The context, i.e. the station's historic/current position as a stopping point on a wider network;
  • Its history e.g. is it a historic building, demonstrated by (in the UK) being listed?
  • Anything else?

I can ask at the Helpdesk, but this seemed an appropriate starting point. Any advice gratefully received. KJP1 (talk) 07:58, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

You have the right idea. Stations that are in active use have more leeway that disused stations. Flag stops without structures probably aren't notable. If there's no article about the physical line that the station is on (and the station is active) then that should probably be written first. Mackensen (talk) 13:30, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
