Sure, it has a photo, but are tram & bus stops really notable enough to warrant Wikipedia articles? It's just a bit of concrete with a shelter at the end of a tramway. There is now multiple similar articles on Wikipedia now about tram stops in Adelaide, none I would personally consider notable. Delete. Somebody in the WWW (talk) 13:48, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Delete - no independent sources show any notability; Wikipedia is not a directory or guidebook. JohnCD (talk) 20:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Delete, unless I can also create an article about my local bus stop :) --Lester 00:35, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Delete per nom, although I expect this will be kept, given the precedent that every place a train has ever stopped gets an article. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 01:17, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Comment: At least a train stop usually consists of a major structure or building, often of historic significance. At a bus or tram stop there's nothing significant there. Usually less than a park bench.--Lester 02:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Delete: There is a good case for having an article about the Adelaide tram system. Information about notable new facilities like City West could go into that article. But to have an article devoted to one tram stop is misusing Wikipedia. I think this one might have been created as a joke. It is a very short article lacking in citations and fails to demonstrate anything notable about City West. Dolphin51 (talk) 02:49, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Delete - The tram stop has only attracted [http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0,22606,22570396-2682,00.html one] news article that could be said to be directed primarily at it; even this one just discusses the solar panels. Only peripheral mentions elsewhere. It is certainly of more note than a bus stop and of less than a train station (in Adelaide at least). Perhaps in the future someone will write a book or news article about it but, until then, all that is verifiable is that it exists, is at the current end of the line, and has a solar power generator. - Peripitus (Talk) 04:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

:Ooh - I expect the book to be an enthralling read. But what I'm really looking forward to is, (in ridiculously deep voice) "City West tram stop: The Movie" ;) -- Mark Chovain 07:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

::I will pay to not see that movie. On the serious side though this may well become a chapter in a future book. While researching Trams in Adelaide I discovered that tram aficionados do tend to write books about individual tram lines often with sections on things as small as tram stops....only time will tell. - Peripitus (Talk) 08:00, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Delete this and all the other Adelaide tram stop articles unless sufficient reliable sources can be found, which doesn't look likely. Nick Dowling (talk) 07:40, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
