notability?[edit]

Can someone please explain the notability for this article? First of all, it's a misnomer -- "Back of the Hill" is not a "station"; it's a stop. For those who don't live in the area but have some familiarity with surface rail, the "E" line runs above ground after the "Symphony" stop. It stops every block or two. Some of the stops have platforms (e.g., "Longwood", "Heath Street") and would be considered "stations". Others of the stops are simply marked by a street sign on the sidewalk, people wait on the sidewalk by the sign as they would at any bus stop, and the train stops in the middle of the street. .... So, not a train station, and not only is there no train station at this stop, there is no historic or other significance of any kind that I can see. Other than convenience for the Back of the Hill apartment complex people, which is nice, but hardly needs a Wikipedia article. Responses? --Lquilter (talk) 16:10, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(Editor's note: This has since been resolved, and all MBTA train stations and stops are considered notable.) Whoop whoop pull up ^{Bitching Betty | Averted crashes} 18:14, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
