Does not appear to be sufficient sources to show why this u-bahn station meets the notability criteria for inclusion. I've looked at the page on dewiki but I'm not seeing any extra sources we can consider here JMWt (talk) 15:07, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Station on a major network in a major city, all of whose stations have articles. Not sure why this particular station has been singled out for deletion. There are likely to be plenty of sources available. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:15, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Happy to consider any sources you can offer here. There is no "singling out" any more than there is in starting an AfD discussion on any other page. JMWt (talk) 15:39, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, yes there is, considering all the other stations on the network have articles as well. Why have you chosen this one to nominate for deletion? -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:07, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
See the nomination. JMWt (talk) 16:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The nomination statement does not answer Necrothesp's question. Why have you chosen to nominate this station and not any others? When an article is part of a tightly-defined set (almost all articles about rapid transit stations are) then it rarely makes sense to consider the article in isolation to others in the set. Thryduulf (talk) 16:33, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a relevant question to ask a nom and I'm under no obligation to answer it. Rapid transport system stations do not have implied notability on en.wiki, as shown by various AfD discussions where similar station pages in other countries have been deleted. If you have sources that show this station is notable, please supply them. JMWt (talk) 17:41, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is a relevant question and it has nothing to do with implied notability. Furthermore, if you don't want to answer a question (for any reason) say you do not want to answer it rather than pointing to a comment that doesn't answer it with a comment implying that it does. Thryduulf (talk) 18:44, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it's a relevant question. It's an attempt to understand why this single station on an extensive system has been nominated and no other. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:21, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge. There is definitely no reason to remove the verifiable information about this station from the encyclopaedia completely. Yes, it could do with more sources, but it's inconceivable to me that they don't exist even if they aren't cited yet. Has the nominator looked anywhere other than the German Wikipedia article? Obviously the most prominent results on Google in English are going to be those useful for those travelling to/from the station, because that's what most people are searching for, but take the time to exclude them and look for histories, etc in German.

Sources to consider: Berliner Morgenpost, in German, paywalled [1] and [2]. Die Dorfzeitung:[3]. T-online [4] Berliner Kurier[5]. Rupples (talk) 01:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose deletion. Not all the stations on the U8 (Berlin U-Bahn) line have separate articles. Those associated with S-Bahn or main rail lines feature within a combined rail station article. (Some of them seem rather lost within the longer article.) It makes sense to keep the station set for the line intact and have at least a redirect somewhere. All the U8 stations might be better presented in a "List of U8 stations" article, but that would need a separate discussion. Rupples (talk) 07:36, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Rupple's sources. I also agree with Necro and Thryduulf it makes no sense to delete one and only one article in a tight set, and the nom refuses to provide any explanation why even when asked. Jumpytoo Talk 04:03, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
