Delete: per nom. The major source used is irfca.org which is a WP:UGC. — LeoFrank ^Talk 09:53, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This article has 292 incoming links. Quoting from IRFCA ref: "Shed opened in 1983, initial holding capacity was 60 locos. Capacity was raised to 125 locos in 2003; with additional facilities later added for EMD locos since 2005. First 5 WDM-3D units were homed here; these were later transferred to Erode. Now has WDG-4 units as well." Sounds pretty notable to me. There is no reason to question the veracity of the IRFCA source. Colonies Chris (talk) 09:57, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Number of incoming links is not a measure of notability, certainly not when it comes from a huge template with loads of redlinks (Template:Indian Railways). Nothing you quote is any indication of notability either, and the veracity of that short fanclub entry is not really the problem here. Fram (talk) 10:07, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But the coverage is weak, so another possibility is to Merge to Krishnarajapuram railway station. Jumpytoo Talk 18:47, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, looks like multiple sources have been found above, establishing notability. Additional sources and content appear to have been removed in the past, in one case with the summary "Blogs cannot be used as sources", despite two out of three sources having the .gov.in TLD. While a merge could work, I don't think it would be appropriate here because this facility is in a different location to Krishnarajapuram railway station.

Delete. Still no evidence of notability despite edits being made to it since it was nominated. Ajf773 (talk) 09:00, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
