This page, along with numerous others, depict small stops with no physical infrastructure along SEPTA Routes 101 and 102. These above-ground stops have no shelter, no curb, and only merely a small sign. It is nothing more than a bus stop, which I do not believe makes it notable enough for each stop to have its own page. Additionally, the stop pages are all stubs, and many do not have any citations. There is no content that cannot be displayed in a station list for the line. I propose redirecting these pages to SEPTA Routes 101 and 102 and moving any relevant content to that page.

Merge - while most stations along the Route 101 and 102 lines have platforms and shelters, these following stations are nothing more than a sign along the street. Therefore, makes better sense to cover them in the list, since there's really nothing else to mention. Dough4872 04:22, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Providence Road (SEPTA Route 102 station) actually does have a structure, even if it's not used as such. That being said, SEPTA gives the impression they're something more than just mere bus stops. With the exception of the aforementioned station, considering all the crap that has been happening to the station articles over the past couple of years, I'm open to a redirect. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 04:30, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge And you could probably add more from these lines beyond those listed. While stations with infrastructure could certainly have substantive articles, I do not understand the idea of de facto notability for each and every place a train stops. A "List of SEPTA light rail stations" table or list could cover all of these and reduce duplication while presenting all information to the reader together rather than spread apart.

Merge per nom. (And once this is done, most San Fancisco streetcar stops could go, too.) Useddenim (talk) 17:48, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
