I am nominating this for featured list removal because a decent portion of the article's information is outdated, and some content is either redundant or lacks a reliable source. Posts were made on the talk pages of both the list and the respective WikiProject with input from only one user; no edits to the list have been made since I posted my concerns.
The average weekday ridership in the main station list is from 2009, while the ridership in the "top stations" sections is from either 2008 or 2006 (therefore outdated). The "top stations" lists are also redundant because the stations with the highest ridership can easily be determined by sorting the main column. The station codes also do not seem necessary for this article, as they are only used internally by WMATA and appeared to be unnotable for inclusion in this list. Additionally, the source for the station codes for the Silver Line station is unreliable and no reliable source can be found. – Dream out loud ( talk) 00:53, 10 February 2011 (UTC) reply
Comments Please note that the 2010 station figures have not come out yet, so the article is still using the most recent figures. If someone finds the official figures, I would appreciate a link here. I agree that the list of busiest stations is unnecessary, and that the by jurisdiction list can also be easily created by sorting the main table twice. I diesagree with the nominator in that the station codes should go because they are "not notable". It is fully credible that a railfan or other specially interested reader would want a list of the internal codes to aid in reading official documents from WMATA, for instance. I agree that the codes for the silver line are from a unreliable source, and I have no idea if reliable sources are available, so that at current they should go. I don't see any reason to add an {{ update}} banner to the article at this point of time. As a postscript, note that the original nominator of the FLC has retired. I am therefore going to be bold and edit the article in those points where I agree with Dream out loud. Arsenikk (talk) 10:49, 10 February 2011 (UTC) reply
