There exists only three sources for this page: One is a database which is also essentially a dead link, and the other two aren't independent (since they are made by Via Rail, operator of the Station), and in any case, those two sources don't assert the notability of the station either. I can't find more sources; Google search results are either Wikipedia, WP forks, or does not pertain to the station. Silcox (talk) 15:16, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, operational railway station. Likely to be historical coverage inaccessible online. Garuda3 (talk) 15:23, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do we have to repeat last year's RfC just to get you to stop adding nonsensical votes like this? Train stations are not inherently notable just by existing, and this is a flag stop that is literally just a sign if you go and look it up. Trainsandotherthings (talk) 22:53, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is not an operational railway station. It's a mile marker in the middle of the bush. -- asilvering (talk) 04:44, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
~~Redirect~~ to Silcox, Manitoba#Transportation which already replicates this information.

@A. B. The thing is, I am also planning to send the Silcox, Manitoba article itself to AfD due to that article's lack of notability. I respect you !vote though. Silcox (talk) 16:15, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yikes -- I see why you want to delete Silcox. "There's no 'there' there" looking at satellite imagery.

Also, Via Rail indicates the Silcox "station" is a sign post. You'd have to wade or canoe to get to it. My guess is that it's used by tourists (canoeists) in the summer.

comment We have tended to keep these articles, but I have to say that a listing of stops in the main article makes more sense. Mangoe (talk) 03:03, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's a non-notable flag stop in the middle of an unorganized census division with a population density of 0.0. -- asilvering (talk) 05:43, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, Redirect to Winnipeg-Churchill train does make good sense, where the one to Silcox, Manitoba did not. -- asilvering (talk) 22:33, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Winnipeg–Churchill train. Mackensen (talk) 12:21, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Winnipeg–Churchill train. Given so little text, a redirect (with or without prejudice) makes total sense. Not sure how a delete could be justified over an ATD or why an ATD wasn't proposed upfront. gidonb (talk) 19:52, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Winnipeg–Churchill train per above.

Redirect to Winnipeg–Churchill train as WP:ATD. I note the other "flag stop" articles for this line should also be evaluated and perhaps handled WP:BOLDLY to avoid navigational issues. Jumpytoo Talk 08:51, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I prodded a bunch of them. –dlthewave ☎ 04:20, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
