Fails GNG, RAILOUTCOMES. Only ref I could find was a blog post from a few years back. South Nashua (talk) 17:50, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

• Delete- sources just don't seem to be there. I'd be all for keeping if more sources could be found though.--Rusf10 (talk) 19:46, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
• Redirect to Hellertown, Pennsylvania#Transportation which has a carbon copy of this stub (and this will keep the link in SEPTA-related articles blue). Nate • (chatter) 23:49, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
  • We've got sources now (and I pretty much hoped for that), so this can be switched to a keep (though an "infobox station" about its place in the SEPTA system would be appreciated). Nate • (chatter) 21:42, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

• Redirect to Hellertown, Pennsylvania#Transportation, where this is already covered. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:04, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
• Keep - Extremely in-depth multi-page coverage in the 2001 book When the Railroad Leaves Town [1]. This is more coverage than many former stations that have articles where there is no issue of notability. Other independent coverage exists too. [2][3] This article was AfD'd in less than one day of its creation [4] which really shouldn't have been done for a real rail station past or present and is a case of WP:BITE. --Oakshade (talk) 04:36, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
• Keep- with the new source, I can support keeping as I mentioned before.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:23, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
• Keep. We generally keep all railway stations. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:51, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
• Keep  The talk page is still red.  As per WP:BEFORE C3, "If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page...".  WP:BEFORE D1 includes Google books, which aren't mentioned in the nomination.  One of those refs I've added to Springtown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania and wikilinked to Hellertown station.  This ref shows that train stations are used as points of reference.  I also added a gazetteer reference from 1871 to the article.  Unscintillating (talk) 23:44, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
• Keep a very well sourced article. I am thinking we should go to acepting every train station as notable, if that has not been done. I would like to see a statement of when the station was founded, but we have enough to keep the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:34, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
• I wouldn't call this "very well sourced", but there's now enough for me to change my !vote to Keep. Good work finding the additional reference. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:23, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
• Snowball keep under the WP:GNG. Sufficiently referenced for a station. gidonb (talk) 05:51, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
