Delete. Nothing notable about this one. Ajf773 (talk) 08:43, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
~~Merge~~ Keep It appears to be on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of Burlington,_West_Virginia#Historic_Sites, ~~so merge with that article, which already includes this service station, but has not been updated to indicate that it is now closed to the public. Also include the photo in that article too.~~ RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:04, 24 December 2018 (UTC) Happy to keep as a separate article thanks to Doncram's work on it.

~~Merge~~ Keep As suggested by RebeccaGreen, and per WP:ATD-M and WP:PRESERVE, we should not delete this. Doncram's expansion is good and means that there's now enough for a separate page. Andrew D. (talk) 10:14, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as proposed by RebeccaGreen. Ktrimi991 (talk) 13:41, 24 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added NRHP nomination document source and information from it into the article, and added NRHP infobox, and otherwise developed it a bit, and removed long-standing "unreferenced" tag which no longer applies. It is a contributing building in the NRHP-listed Burlington Historic District (Burlington, West Virginia). It is currently the only historic gas station in West Virginia included in List of historic filling stations, and is in category appropriate for that. The amount of detail provided in the article now, including category and coordinates and photo and text (and infobox), would not be appropriate in the suggested merger target. It is fine as a short nice article, properly categorized and so on. It may be expanded further in the future, probably could be further developed with sources about the proprietor and other aspects of the business from local history records, local newspapers including obituaries about the proprietor, etc. And once notable, always notable. --Doncram (talk) 04:59, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Doncram's WP:HEYMANN upgrade of sourcing. It is common for the individual buildings in historic districts to have stand-alone articles; we have a long list of them Category:Gas stations on the National Register of Historic Places.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:54, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:HEYMANN. Nice work. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 23:01, 31 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's on a national register of historic places. That makes it notable. SpinningSpark 00:31, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
