Fails WP:GNG. For completeness sake, the Dutch word for "tram stop" is "tramhalte". Kleuske (talk) 12:41, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is more of a station than just a simple tram stop[1] and we usually keep articles on stations. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:30, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I regret having to mention this non-"rule", but WP:RAILOUTCOMES specifically states heavy rail stations. IJsselstein-Zuid is a light rail station. --HyperGaruda (talk) 21:00, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In any non-keep case, a redirect to Utrecht sneltram is more appropriate than outright deletion. --HyperGaruda (talk) 21:40, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
merge and redirect to Line 61 (Utrecht sneltram) (the line this station is the terminus of). Per Wikipedia:Notability (Railway lines and stations)#Stations "It may be considered that if enough attributable information is available about a station on a main system to verify that it exists, it generally is appropriate for the subject to have its own article. For […] stations on metro, light rail, tram, people mover, or heritage railway lines, if insufficient source material is available for a comprehensive article, it is better to mention the station in an article about the line or system that the station is on." I haven't looked to see what other sources are available but based on the present state of the article merging it to the article about the line is the best course of action. It can always be broken out again later per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE if it becomes too extensive for the line article. Regardless of anything else, the name of a transportation station that verifiably exists is going to be a useful search term in all but the most exceptional situations and so should be at least a redirect.
