Comment: Needs significant coverage in secondary sources to show notability, beyond "it existed". Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:24, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Comment: Regarding notability concerns, there's no shortage of published articles in the main namespace on similar stations, including on this line: Creevyargon Halt railway station, Conlig railway station, Millisle Road Halt railway station, Bright Halt railway station and Ballynahinch railway station just some of those. I didn't author this article, and know nothing of the line, and whilst I do understand the notability concerns (albeit have a lot of sympathy for railway articles) I find it annoyingly inconsistent were this article not to be published and yet those other articles to remain, leaving just one 'red link' on the station map. My personal opinion is that AfC isn't the best process by which to handle concerns such as this – I'd suggest moving this article from draft, and then if any fellow editor is sufficiently unconvinced of notability I'd encourage them to list this and similar others on WP:AFD to generate community consensus to delete as necessary. _└^UkPaolo/_talk^┐ 20:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
