No indication why this would be a notable maintenance depot. All large transport companies have such depots, and there are primary sources about them (and passing mentions in secondary sources), but in most cases nothing which makes such a depot a notable building or location (unless they are protected, record-breaking, or otherwise considered newsworthy or remarkable by reliable sources). It's part of the infrastructure, but that's not sufficient to warrant inclusion. Fram (talk) 16:36, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable fancruft. There is no policy that says depots are inherently notable. The fact that the article only has the location "Santragahi" appended to make the title unique says a lot about it's notability. Jumpytoo Talk 19:06, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note The author appears to be doing a great job on the coverage of the Indian railway system. There is little argument that there is notability coverage for the individual shed, but as a small piece of a whole picture? Maybe a list-type article covering all sheds can be suggested to the author? I would hate to discourage the copious output on an important topic by the author by deleting parts of a large puzzle.--Concertmusic (talk) 22:24, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
