Delete. Just a service station and a few shops. Absolutely nothing of significance. Ajf773 (talk) 20:23, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—fails WP:GNG, just as Doncaster North services did. Imzadi 1979 → 21:02, 18 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - nom's rationale is unclear, the log it links to is a discussion re templates relating to the article, which says nothing regarding the article itself. If the nominator elaborates on their statement, I will reconsider. Failing that however, redirect per Coolbahapple. Nightfury 15:30, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, note also this is the second nomination, I have added a link to the first AfD. Nightfury 15:37, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep-Proposers reason for deletion make no case for deletion, as it merely cross-references a discussion on the deletion of a template, which has no relevance to the current discussion.-- chris_j_wood (talk) 10:16, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Gareth Griffith-Jones. If you're intending to withdraw the nomination, because of outstanding delete votes we cannot close it early. We also need your original nomination statement on the page, I shall re-add this for you. Btw, do you have a reason for the change of vote? Nightfury 14:04, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply—Yes, I have withdrawn the nomination following reading the contributions above. My reason is that I must have misunderstood this edit; 03:04, July 24, 2018‎ User:MarnetteD (talk | contribs)‎ . .

Keep. British motorway service stations are established by statute. They are not just truck stops as some seem to think they are. They are significant, legally enshrined complexes. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:44, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if it's at the statute level here, but rest stops are creations of the government in the USA as well, which is as irrelevant here as it is there. Mangoe (talk) 15:05, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Of the two sources cited in the article, one is the operator's website and the other is a page with an "edit" link. Search doesn't find much - local news coverage of an application for planning permission (http://www.southwalesguardian.co.uk/news/15306090.Plans_submitted_for_Costa_Coffee_drive-thru_at_services/) or where it is only mentioned in news coverage.

Merge into the notes section for its listing at List of motorway service areas in the United Kingdom. Source searches are not providing a whole lot to qualify a standalone article, but merging will enhance the suggested merge target article. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 07:59, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Merge to List of motorway service areas in the United Kingdom as per North America]] - No evidence of notability to warrant an article however IMHO the content can and should be added to the table, –Davey2010^Talk 15:35, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Necrothesp. Satisfies GEOLAND as a legally recognised populated place. These are indeed created by legislation (IIRC, the purpose is to prevent urban sprawl or something like that). James500 (talk) 19:35, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a populated place-- nobody lives there. It's just a rest stop with businesses. Mangoe (talk) 19:44, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
