Sanbashi-dōri-yonchōme Station

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable station on a barely notable Japanese tram network. Like most other articles on stations on the network, they fail to meet the GNGs and thus are not notable enough. This particular example consists of a single sentence, and has only seen maintenance edits over the nine years this article has existed.

The following articles on the tram network are also being included in this AFD, owing to their similar status as both short, unchanged articles and not notable enough:

Merge all. All the nominated stations appear to be on the Tosaden Kōtsū Sanbashi Line. That article is a list-article which lists a bunch of tram stations and has scant information on them. It does not seem appropriate/necessary for each of them to be split out to a separate article. Then there is also a navigation template which links between them, duplicating the list-article. And each has a "before-and-after stations link" box. I think each of the separate stations should be merged and redirected back to the main list-article. Reviewing them all, there is no different information in the separate articles to merge, except for the one photo in each one of them, which all can indeed be merged into the table in the list-article. (And when there are no remaining articles using the navigation template, the navigation template can be deleted too.) The decision would be "Redirect" if there was no content to merge back into the list-article, but I will say the photos count. Only one station on the line, Harimayabashi Station, is a transfer point to other lines, the Tosaden Kōtsū Ino Line and the Tosaden Kōtsū Gomen Line. This one is not included in the AFD, perhaps for that reason. My guess is that the stations on the other lines also can be redirected back to their list-articles. The Harimayabashi Station one can be redirected to any one of the list-articles, it doesn't much matter, because they each will have the same information about it, I presume.

Also, thank you User:GammaRadiator for identifying this problem of low-quality/unnecessary articles and for making this into a combo AFD (which replaced separate AFDs that had at first been created). --do ncr am 19:02, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
