- Keep as a defining aspect of the railway stations in question. Sports venues, campuses and hospitals are all facilities which generate a lot of patronage and are often the sole reason for the stations having been built or remaining in use. The point of at least the Norway categories is to place stations which have the campus/hospital/venue as their primary target, rather than a trains station which serve towns which happen to have such a facility in them. This is particularly evident in situations where the stations are named for the hospital/university/venue. All stations are already categorized by line/system/geographically so a merge to a high-level station category would serve no purpose. Arsenikk (talk) 08:47, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- There may be some railway stations that are built exclusively to serve a specific facility, but many/most railway stations do not have a "primary target"; they are used to reach several/many locations (and use may vary by year, time of day etc). This will never be a comprehensive categorization scheme unless we create categories like "Railway stations serving mixed-use residential/commercial zones". IMO, the costs (e.g. in editor time arguing about whether a particular railway station has a primary target) outweigh the benefits of this categorization scheme. Introducing the name of the station into the equation would further complicate things. DexDor ( talk) 06:36, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
- keep the Harbours and Ports categories, as this is a defining, objective and easily verifiable characteristic of those railways stations. Not all railway stations are defined by what they serve, but some are and ports, harbours and airports are examples of this.

- It doesn't always hold that a station which serves an airport has that as its primary source of custom. For example, Birmingham International railway station (4.5 million passengers in April 2012-March 2013) serves Birmingham International Airport (UK) (9.1 million passengers in 2013) but you just need to hang around the top of the escalators to realise that the majority of passengers who use that station are not heading to the airport but to the National Exhibition Centre on the other side of the tracks. But at Teesside Airport railway station you could probably ask every single passenger for a fifteen-minute personal interview about why they use that station, how often they use the airport, where they're coming from/going to - and still find yourself wondering why the station exists. -- Redrose64 ( talk) 08:19, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
