- Nominator's rationale: 1. This is trivia (e.g. it's not mentioned in the Rail transport in Great Britain or UK railway stations articles). 2. This is non-defining as it isn't mentioned in some of the articles it categorizes e.g. this and this (although perhaps it should be). 3. The text explains that it's for "furthest north, south, east and west", but that's not clear from the category names. 4. It doesn't form a comprehensive categorization scheme (unlike, for example, stations-by-county categories). 5. It's not a categorization scheme used for other country's railway networks. 6. Presumably, it's for the stations that are currently at the "extreme reaches" which isn't a permanent characteristic (if one of these stations closed should it be removed from the category and another station "promoted" into the category?). 7. This categorization doesn't follow normal categorization rules (see this and this). Note: Both categories were created without parent categories (indicating that the creator didn't understand wp categorization). DexDor (talk) 16:58, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Delete -- It might be possible to have a category on rail termini - stations where trains can only enter from one direction, but that would need to include Redditch and Stourbridge Town railway stations. I do not think that would be a useful category. Peterkingiron ( talk) 19:14, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
