Non notable station. Fails WP:N, WP:RS, and WP:CRYSTAL. Delete Undead Warrior (talk) 02:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete until such time as the rail line and station are built. --Stormbay (talk) 03:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This is not exactly a crystal ball exercise. Planning for the rail line is underway, although construction has not yet begun. --Eastmain (talk) 03:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Until construction has begun, this is exactly WP:CRYSTAL. Undead Warrior (talk) 05:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Wikipedia:Notability (Railway lines and stations) and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Transportation are helpful here. There would be a question about the station's notability even if it existed. As it does not yet exist, this is a debate about a nothing. In a nutshell: "An article about a railway station or railway line could be created if there's enough referenced information to make it encyclopedic. Otherwise, include the station or line in a parent article." Redirect to Evergreen Line (Vancouver). SilkTork *^YES! 11:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I agree this sounds like WP:CRYSTAL. If/when it is built; will it be notable? I think it could be brought forward again after it is built and then there can be a discussion of notability. --Stormbay (talk) 22:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete -- Articles on future stations are WP:CRYSTAL at least until the project is funded and the construction contract agreed. Peterkingiron (talk) 22:08, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
