Article quite empty, unreferenced since 2010! Seems to be some confusion with zh:双河站 (also Shuanghe Railway Station in English but not in the same city nor on the same railway line). VIGNERON * discut. 10:17, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- A WP:BEFORE search in English turns up nothing. If no editor found time to insert a reference in eight years, the station must not be of interest. Eight views in the last month tells us readers are not interested, either. Rhadow (talk) 16:08, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is more likely that a railway station in China would have references in Mandarin. I don't think it is fair to vote a delete based on "he station must not be of interest" or "readers are not interested". An encyclopedia is supposed to preserve history. I have seen many articles about India being deleted simply because people didn't search for sources in any of the Indian languages. This is a WP:SYSTEMICBIAS we need to overcome.--DreamLinker (talk) 19:08, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep Consensus is that railroad stations are generally notable. I don't know why this one should be any different. Smartyllama (talk) 19:28, 16 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Unless someone can show the station exists, in light of the circumstances. Railroad stations should generally be kept, but if this one is a hoax, it has no place here. Smartyllama (talk) 10:56, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as the information is not verifiable and could even be a speculation or hoax. I have always voted for retaining articles about railway stations as I believe they are important locations which need to be documented. However, I have tried a lot and I cannot find any sources about this station. Going through railway timetables and information about the railway line (which is one of the most challenging railways constructed in China), I am unable to see any mention of this station. The creator was blocked for "Appears to be an unapproved bot rapidly creating articles". Considering that the articles was created in March 2010, before the railway line became operational, I believe it is reasonable to assume that this is either a hoax or a speculation.--DreamLinker (talk) 19:28, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is this a real station? Like DreamLinker, I've been looking and can't find anything verifiable. --Oakshade (talk) 02:26, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unsourced and non notable. MapSGV (talk) 16:50, 19 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the station does not seem to exist: it's not on the list of stations of Yichang-Wanzhou railway. -Zanhe (talk) 19:39, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete until there is sufficient sources to back up its existence Nightfury 09:04, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not sure whether it exists, cannot find any evidence of it. R22-3877 (talk) 01:52, 24 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
