Madura Station[edit]

... that Madura Station occupies an area greater than Brunei yet has only nine permanent employees?

What is the connection with Brunei? Is it just about saying that a sheep pasture is larger than a country? If so, I was wondering if there was something more because the connection was unclear to me. Right now, the article is being considered for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Madura Station. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:43, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, the connection I was making is that the property is larger than the country of Brunei. The reason I used Brunei is because it was closest in total area, not for any other reason. The article is being considered for deletion but is, so far, a snowball keep.Hughesdarren (talk) 12:41, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

The AFD closed and the article was kept. --Orlady (talk) 13:45, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
Date of creation checks out fine, and it is plenty long enough. The hook is interesting and appropriately referenced inline. The article could be more engaging, but is well referenced throughout. Spotchecks reveal no signs of copyvio or close paraphrasing, though duplication detector isn't working for me at the moment, so these are by eye only. Harrias ^talk 14:51, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
