• Delete This place on the Algoma Central is not notable unto itself (though it could, perhaps, be mentioned somewhere in the article about the railroad).TH1980 (talk) 00:03, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or redirect, like Magnolia677 I am unable to locate any sources which would indicate notability Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:32, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Algoma Central Railway#Rail sidings. The section already existed and probably contains the railway points on the line—though not Boon. I have added in Boon along with a few details from this article. --papageno (talk) 05:16, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete (ETA: or redirect) - Fails WP:GEOLAND. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 07:14, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Algoma Central Railway#Railway points and sidings. Redirect should remain because many maps will show this as a place, meaning it is a very likely search term. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 13:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Algoma Central Railway#Railway points and sidings as WP:ATD: the subject fails WP:GEOLAND so it does not deserve its own article, but it is still a possible search term. InterstellarGamer12321 (talk | contribs) 17:47, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment (Nom) - I'm not vehemently opposed to the idea, but we've deleted hundreds of rail sidings that appear in maps/databases and I don't think I've ever seen one redirected to the railroad unless it has some special significance. Is there something about Boon that merits a redirect or is it possible that the "railway point" nomenclature makes it sound more notable than it actually is? –dlthewave ☎ 21:43, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
