[edit] College Street (TTC)

Non-notable location in the Toronto mass transit system Ecoleetage (talk) 02:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Delete no assertion of notability. -Icewedge (talk) 02:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete per nom. It's a short walk from where I dwell/lurk. Nothing special, no trains to Hogwarts stop here (AFAIK). Clarityfiend (talk) 02:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not so sure about the Hogwarts trains....Ron B. Thomson (talk) 20:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Everyone knows that the Hogwarts trains leave from Union Station. Reggie Perrin (talk) 12:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Isn't it the only train that leaves from Union Station?Ron B. Thomson (talk) 17:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Madman (talk) 14:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete. Note -- a 5-day debate has been going on about another street-car stop on this line. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queen Street (TTC). There are 30 or so of these non-stations.Ron B. Thomson (talk) 17:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
I am also nominating all the other related pages as non-notable locations (per nom):

- I don't think you can just roll additional articles into this AFD - there's a specific process for proposing multiple deletions. Reggie Perrin (talk) 17:03, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
  - I am adding all these pages because they are all cut from the same piece of cloth. These street-car stops have little or no significance, and many have been already tagged as Orphans (some over a year ago). Let's not do this one at a time -- we are already in the middle of a debate about Queen Street, which was nominated 4 or 5 days ago. Let's decide what to do, once and for all, for the whole class of items, and settle it.Ron B. Thomson (talk) 18:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
    - comment - I would tend to agree with Reggie Perrin. The best thing to do with all the ones you suggest would be to start 1 AFD with all of them. Not wait till a few deletes roll in testing the waters, then tack on more Articles to someone elses AfD. Im sure any train related Projects might have issues with how that may look.

Merge all streetcar stops to the article on the line they're a part of. Bearcat (talk) 16:23, 9 May 2008 (UTC)]]
Merge as per bearcat; Keep Exhibition Loop (TTC) which is notable for historical reasons with Exhibition Place. Reggie Perrin (talk) 16:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Changed to Delete all except Merge Exhibition Loop (TTC) with Exhibition Place. Looking at the articles there's really nothing worth merging with the exception of the Exhibition Loop article and I think that material makes more sense in the article on Exhibition Place.

- I suggest Exhibition Loop (TTC) be merged with Exhibition Place. Reggie Perrin (talk) 20:26, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
DELETE ALL per Clarityfiend. GreenJoe 17:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete or merge: For most of these stops, there is really nothing to merge since the page simply says they are a street-car stop on a transit route. Many of the places listed at these stops are not significant at all, and are quite transient -- the bars and shops will be gone in 5 or 10 years. We may end up only with one or two of some significance. (I can see the point about Exhibition Loop)Ron B. Thomson (talk) 18:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete or merge per Ron B. Thomson. I can see the point to keeping articles on streetcar lines or train stations, since those are permanent and significant parts of the mass transit infrastructure. Individual streetcar stops aren't, though: they're just the point where the streetcar happens to stop, with a small open shelter only a little larger than the ones on most bus routes. —Silly Dan _(talk) 18:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
DELETE all the streetcar stops and Category:Toronto LRT stations, but retain Exhibition Loop which is an important TTC station. The facility consists of an area about half a kilometre long, consiting of the loop, multiple tracks, platforms, shelters and a turnstyle entrance. It even has signage similar to a subway station. I have pictures - but not enough time to post them. This should therefore be integrated somewhere in an article relating to TTC facilities, and do not merge with Exhibition Place. - Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:17, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete per Secondarywaltz. These are essentially street corners that are not notable on their own or as streetcar stops; events that take place at or near some of them are sometimes notable, but would be covered in specific articles related to those events. They aren't even notable in a WP:LOCAL context. Risker (talk) 20:55, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Delete all but Exhibition Loop. I agree that Exhibition Loop has some significance and should be merged to Exhibition Place, at least until there are reliable sources for expansion. The others are simply stops and redirecting the others is misleading since they can have multiple meanings. (Is College Street (TTC) the subway station, College Street bus route, or stop for multiple bus routes or streetcar stops?) DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
SO -- If I go ahead and add any vital information from these pages to the page(s) describing the routes themselves (with something done about Exhitibion Loop), is anyone going to object? I could leave these pages empty. Does that cause a bot to delete them?Ron B. Thomson (talk) 17:01, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
All notable information has been merged into the 510/509/512 Street Car Lines pages. Ron B. Thomson (talk) 21:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
