Non-notable, unremarkable, ROTM bus stand; sourcing consists of two pieces of news related to its demolishing and rebuilding — fails WP:GNG / WP:NGEO. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:21, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, additional sources have already been added since the deletion nomination. There appears to be significant coverage from multiple sources in both English and Malayalam, and scope for expansion of the article regarding the issues discussed in the PDF source and an access road to the station started in 2014 and still not finished. There is no need for something to be "remarkable" for inclusion in Wikipedia, but I believe notability has been established. NemesisAT (talk) 20:37, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I have found additional sources, but unfortunately I'm not confident enough with the machine translation to be able to add them to the article. If someone who can speak the local language can check these that would be fab:
- https://janamtv.com/80160287/
- https://www.mathrubhumi.com/palakkad/news/palakkad-stadium-stand-1.3044690
I reckon someone with knowledge of the local langauge could really improve and expand this article. NemesisAT (talk) 20:57, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The Bus stand has recieved plenty of coverage from sources like Mathrbhumi, the second leading national daily in Malayalam. I might be able to improve the article. Pillechan (പിള്ളേച്ചനോട് പറ) 14:59, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Palakkad#Road. Clearly not a suitable topic for an article. Geschichte (talk) 18:26, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Why is a bus station not a suitable topic for an article? This feels a bit dismissive, as there are plenty of good bus station articles on Wikipedia. NemesisAT (talk) 18:28, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Any subject can be notable if enough sources exist that discuss it, as is the case here. And indeed we have some coverage of bus stations, so this article is not out of the ordinary, even though I must admit it surprises me personally. @Pillechan: Since I assume you speak Malayalam, could you take a look at the sources linked by NemesisAT above? They seem to give some background on why the bus station has received so much news (traffic congestions or something before the new construction). --LordPeterII (talk) 22:04, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Hello LordPeterII. This is an important bus station in Palakkad district. It is a busiest station which is a central hub for bus transportation in Palakkad. The last time I visited it was undergoing expansion due to the high traffic conjuction. The sources give stress to these facts and the construction process of the new station. Thankyou.

@Pillechan: Thank you as well, then I understand them correctly. But what I really meant was: Can you please add the sources to the article? You will better know how to write in the article what the news say. --LordPeterII (talk) 08:59, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Palakkad#Transport. Not sufficiently notable for its own article, but ok to be mentioned in merge target. Ajf773 (talk) 09:41, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as suggested. It had some good coverage, but merging this material might be the best outcome. Bearian (talk) 17:02, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge, as per Ajf773. MrsSnoozyTurtle 00:47, 17 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Draft:Palakkad KSRTC bus station into new Public transport in Palakkad or Palakkad#Transport per Ajf773. Bogger (talk) 11:28, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Closing comment: As an uninvolved editor who has not !voted, I'm closing this as a keep. A merge proposal can be made if a keen user wishes to propose it, but the article has been in AfD for more than 1 month now, with not a single delete !vote, so it has to be removed from AfD.
