Location/Merge

[edit]

Hi Thryduulf. With thanks for your dePROD note, in terms of:

  • Location; While I appreciate that the linked PDF gives a distance (1 mi?) from Banbridge (BLBR) station and/or Banbridge (BJR) station, and we can perhaps infer a distance (~0.3mi?) from Lenaderg station, as I'd noted in my own edsumm, I cannot find the stop/halt on any OS maps from that period. The other stations/stops are marked. But not this one. Not that I can see at any rate. (Based on the distances, it was perhaps around here someplace. But isn't marked.) My main concern with this is that, if we cannot establish where it was (even using OR), the things that are normally populated for stations (not least {{coords}}) cannot be populated. Nor can we expand the related text.
  • Merge; While I'm normally the first to suggest WP:ATD-R, and think that's not unreasonable for sub-stubs like this (especially where there are insufficient sources to state anything more than this railway stop/halt existed and appeared on schedules/etc), there is no natural/appropriate target here. That I can see. If the stop was in a town/village, we'd simply redirect to a #Transport section (but it isn't in a town). And if there was an article on the line, we'd redirect there (but there isn't such an article). Where, perhaps, would you suggest redirecting?

Thanks again. Guliolopez (talk) 20:58, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
