[edit] Route 128 (MBTA station)

This article was recently undeleted on Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion. Undeletion policy requires that undeleted articles be re-listed on VfD. The previous vote can be seen at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Route 128 Station. The previous reason for the deletion nomination was: This page is an advertisement for a train station. I don't see any evidence of its notability in the article. Acegikmo1 22:22, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC).

• Keep. There's precedent for such articles existing. In cases where an article fits into a greater framework the threshold for notability should be lower. Mackensen (talk) 03:57, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Stations. --SPUI 04:01, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It is a very large station. iMeowbot~Mw 04:03, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • No, it isn't. At least, it's not one of the great monumental temples of railroad station architecture. It's not even a picturesque historic depot. It's just a bland functional box. A better claim to special treatment would be that it is one of the three stations that is a stop for virtually all (all?) Amtrak trains in and out of Boston, including the Acela.

• Keep. Factual articles shouldn't be deleted. Grue 09:18, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Borderline Keep. (I voted the other way last time. So sue me). Language could use a bit of cleanup (removing peacock words). I think some different word needs to be used for "attractions;" this is not a tourist destination! Although it is the correct answer to the question "What Amtrak train station is nearest to Norwood Airport," the suggestion that it is convenient to Norwood Airport seems strained. I don't perceive it to be an ad, or at least I don't think that was the motivation in its insertion. I am influenced by SPUI saying it is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Stations, which I presume means there is a group of editors who will be paying attention to it.

• Keep in current form. I don't think it's too notable, but it is factual and I've seen stations of similar notability make it to WP. --Deathphoenix 20:28, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and send to cleanup. It being part of a project makes me confident it's going to get the attention it deserves (especially if listed on cleanup as well). Also, being part of a bigger set of stations makes a lower notability for its inclusion acceptable in my opinion. Mgm|^(talk) 22:40, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
