Rail, subway, and perhaps even light rail stations are usually said to be notable. Bus stations however? A stop on the road with (in this case) some parking places and presumably a shelter for passengers. No evidence that this is a notable subject which has received significant attention (not routine coverage) in reliable, independent sources. Feel free to add other similar bus stops from PAAC to this nomination if they have the same characteristics. Fram ( talk) 10:34, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- I have recently also created one for Carnegie station. Bell is the only station on the West Busway without ridership over 200 (which is more than a large chunk of light rail stations). With some other stations largely used as park and ride commuter stations, they have ridership over 600 boardings per weekday. If we were to just keep these stations, there would be no uniformity. My basis of creating these is that all the East Busway stops have articles. I was going to finish off the West Busway today, but I'll give you a little while to see my response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bacon BMW ( talk • contribs) 12:42, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

- Thanks. There is no reason to let uniformity trump notability. Something like
Herron station seems equally problematic. Listing these in the general article about the busway, fine, but I see no good reason to have separate articles about these.

- *One reason why I would like uniformity however is for the adjacent station module. If, say, I didn't do Bell and Ingram, the two least used stations, this would make it basically useless. This is just one small part of each article, though so it would not be a huge deal.

- Yes, that's a general problem with navboxes and similar things: if the succession (whether stations, mayors, ...) is between notable and non-notable subjects, then they become rather useless. Fram ( talk) 13:38, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
- I do want a third party to look over this before any thing happens. I see your point, however, I still feel like the fact that it is a station with some sort of facility where a vehicle is scheduled to stop makes it notable, but I definetly agree with some of what you are saying.
