- Delete - just an opinion but I suspect very recently built metro stations rarely have much coverage (compared to the whole line). But maybe this is a level of inbuilt bias on en.wp - I suspect all London Underground stations have en.wp pages.

- Comment JMWt is right about coverage, which is the key issue. It's not necessarily about bias. London Underground stations often have articles because they've been there for long enough for a lot to have happened, and a lot of people to have written about them. Picking one completely at random,
Sloane Square tube station has an article not because it's between South Kensington and Victoria, but because it's been there since 1868, quite a few people have written about it, Gilbert and Sullivan included it in their lyrics, the inspiration for Peter Pan sadly killed himself there, it's been damaged by bombs twice, and was the first in London to have escalators. When there's more to say about Bangur Nagar metro station than its timetable and location, it will make an interesting article. But for metro stops that are just a stop, it is more helpful to give our readers an overview of the entire line/route, and redirect the station names to this overview. Information matters; it doesn't get better by splitting it into a lot of itty bitty articles with nothing to say.

- In fairness that's comparing apples with oranges - any railway station in a large metropolis which has been around for hundreds of years is likely to have coverage. The question is whether any station on a metro line which has only been built in the last few years (such as
Nine Elms tube station in London) really does. In my view it probably doesn't, and hence if there was no bias new London Underground stations would not be presumed notable any more than those in India.

- JMWt completely agreed, I wouldn't defend nine elms if it turned up at AfD. That's a perfect example of a well-written article about absolutely nothing, all cosmetics and no content. I suppose the problem is how to handle a few individual non-notable stations on an otherwise notable line. I still think it's best to have one article dealing with the logistics of the entire line, who uses it, where it runs, etc., and individual articles for only those stations where we've got something (and sourced) to say. But viewpoints will always differ on that. And there is definitely systematic bias. Elemimele ( talk) 07:49, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

- Delete WE can revisit in a hundred years perhaps, but there just isn't notability now. For it to be notable, stuff has to happen at the station, or be written about somewhere. Nothing found for notability. Oaktree b ( talk) 13:28, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
