Category sorting

I've been doing some category sorting related to this project. Two observations; suggestions needed:

Related to Category:Indian Railway A1 Category Stations
Categorisation changed in 2017. At the time there were 75^[1] railway stations in 2017 having A1 rank. Should all 75 stations be added or should this category be deleted?

Should a new category be created for NSG1 stations? (for example ranking is given in this ref^[2])
Related to Category:Railway stations in India by state or union territory
Apart from the Category:Railway stations in West Bengal, all other states generally have stations only linking to their district. Does it make sense to remove Category:Railway stations in West Bengal from all the stations of West Bengal, leaving only district-wise categorisation? (Junction categorisation where applicable).

Express trains in India

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tatanagar-Godda Weekly Express it has been suggested that many of the articles in Category:Express trains in India should be merged into a newly created list (or lists). You are invited to comment in that discussion. Thryduulf (talk) 09:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Help regarding editing

How do you guys find the history for example, opening date of a Railway Station? I can't find it. Indianx123 (talk) 12:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That depends. Which station is it? Bernhard Rieger (talk) 13:26, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shahganj Junction Railway Station, India, Uttar Pradesh Indianx123 (talk) 14:42, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult. I can't find anything about it. But since the Varanasi-Lucknow line was opened in 1872, it must have been around that time. But that's just a guess. Perhaps this station was added later. Unfortunately, I can't really help there either. Bernhard Rieger (talk) 15:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your effort. Anyways, I'm writing an article on Shahganj Jn Railway Station, would you like to help? Indianx123 (talk) 18:27, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I don't think I can help you, I haven't found any information about this station. I only came across the information that has already been linked on the draft site. Bernhard Rieger (talk) 15:53, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, do you think the draft is ready for submission? any suggestions? Indianx123 (talk) 15:59, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hard to say. In the English WP, the specifications to be met are much higher than in other language versions. Just try it. Bernhard Rieger (talk) 16:19, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ah, thanks! Anyways, How do you guys find the architectural style and how many passengers travel in a Railway station per day? Where is this info available for all stations? I need it for Shahganj JN. Railway Station. Indianx123 (talk) 16:34, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
