The OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument highlights Vince Lombardi Park & Ride (T-H-L), which certainly has a lot more sourcing involved. From a quick search, there don't seem to be many of them on Wikipedia, although it's certainly possible lots more are lurking that aren't categorized. Brossard-Chevrier Park and Ride (T-H-L) would probably be a delete for me, it's only primary sources and it's fundamentally a bus stop, which compared to relatively fixed light or heavy rail transit seem pretty ephemeral, both in importance and the amount of coverage they get.

Encino Park and Ride (T-H-L)

Created by Jg10101, who is apparently a relative of Jack_Gross_(screenwriter) (T-H-L), Jack_O._Gross (T-H-L) and Laurence Gross (T-H-L) because he uploaded photos of the first two as his "own work" and created two of the articles and edited the third.

The photo of Jack O. Gross is unlikely his own work, since it's from 1949. Commons took his word for it, though.

[eppur si muove]

I see that Josh E. Gross (T-H-L) was created by Joshg0788 (T-C-L) who had intended to create Jack O. Gross (T-H-L) before disappearing and leaving it to the entirely unrelated Jg10101 (T-C-L) to create the article.

Encino Park and Ride (T-H-L)

The article starts off strong with six citations in the first sentence, one to say that there is a place with that name and five to say that buses drive past it from time to time. It packs in far more information per word than the typical Wikipedia lead, trusting that readers will understand on their own that the Encino Park and Ride is a park and ride in Encino. However, the article could still be improved by removing the unsourced second sentence. The infobox should also be pared down, as it will be difficult to keep it updated with the number of free parking spaces as commuters come and go throughout the day.

I believe that may be "free as in beer", not free as in unoccupied.

Béatrice d'Hirson (T-H-L)

Béatrice d'Hirson (fl. 14th century) was a lady-in-waiting to the French noblewoman Mahaut, Countess of Artois.

Family
Béatrice's sister Mathilde (or Mahaut) d'Hirson was also a lady-in-waiting to the Countess.
Béatrice's uncles were as follows:
- Thierry Larchier d'Hirson, Bishop of Arras
- Denis d'Hirson, treasurer to the Countess of Artois, then lord of Arras
- Guillaume d'Hirson, bailiff of Arras
- Pierre d'Hirson, attendant to the Countess of Artois

From what I can tell this is literally all that is known about this person. So why is there a Wikipedia article? Because

In fiction
Although an obscure historical figure, Béatrice is an important character in Maurice Druon's series of French historical novels, Les Rois maudits (The Accursed Kings). In the novels, she practices witchcraft and is adept with poisons. Les Rois maudits was adapted into two French television miniseries in 1972 and 2005, and Béatrice was played by Catherine Rouvel in the 1972,[1] and by Jeanne Balibar in 2005.[2]

Note that the only sources for the article are for who played her in the miniseries.
Béatrice d'Hirson (T-H-L) isn't any better. Except for making explicit just how obscure this person was:

[...] cette obscure suivante, simplement mentionnée dans les archives comme faisant partie de la maison de Mahaut d'Artois [...]

... and deleted by Daniel (T-C-L), who for some Ming-suspects-inclusionist-reason ignores the way the WP:SNOW is blowing and offers to "undelete and replace with a redirect to preserve history per AtD" if someone wants to do a merge, which nobody wanted to do.

List of circles in Washington, D.C. (T-H-L)

This could have been a very extensive list; thankfully, it only covers traffic circles (aka. roundabouts). The talk page documents some of the original research that went into its creation.

That was in 2006; since then, most of the edits to the article have been from various editors adding unnamed circles that they've spotted, or leaving commentary along the lines of "not a true circle," "more of a semicircle," etc. The last substantive edit was from Scooteristi in 2021, who removed one from the list because "it's not a circle," but then added a section titled "Squares", throwing the article scope into total disarray.

I suppose we can be grateful that the article creator was a Washington fan rather than a circle fan, and didn't create a whole series of "List of circles in X".

Tenley Circle is a traffic circle in the Northwest Washington, D.C. neighborhood of Tenleytown. Tenley Circle lies at the intersection of Nebraska Avenue, Wisconsin Avenue, and Yuma Street. Unlike many of the circles in Washington, Tenley's traffic pattern has evolved such that the dominant roadway, Wisconsin Avenue, can pass straight through the center instead of going around the outside circumference.

That's not a circle, it's an Ø...

Boat building (T-H-L). The part about aluminum construction, added as some drive-by COI, is particularly hilarious.

[The Blue Newt]

While on our nautical kick, take a look at fender pier (T-H-L), which, except for one glossary definition, one paragraph, and one photo, is entirely sourced to spam, and entirely about a different subject.

PS: Note that the proper definition of the pictured thing is already (badly) covered at Starling (structure) (T-H-L).

How the Steel was Tempered (T-H-L)

Apparently, one of the best selling books of all time can't crack more than five citations. The only English language citation is also a very succinct two paragraph description of the book, which spends more time ragging on Soviet Realism than actually talking about the context and content of the book.

(Edit: Checking JSTOR, the book has 22k+ hits and several dozen articles focusing entirely on its content and impact. It's times like this I wish I wasn't banned ): )

Where is Kate? (T-H-L)
Tabloid speculation with some conspiracy theory thrown in about Catherine, Princess of Wales (T-H-L) plus an edited photo.
Unsurprisingly the deletion discussion is the most active ongoing AfD (permanent link) with 42 votes in three days (second place has 23 votes in 22 days). Just as unsurprising is that there is strong support for keeping the article (1 speedy keep, 22 keep, 4 merge vs. 7 deletes and 8 "other" votes). I guess we're lucky that it's just one article. I'm actually surprised that the Mother's Day photo hasn't been spun out (yet).

from Janesville, Iowa (T-H-L):

Janesville was founded in 1849 by John T. Barrick, a Quaker and abolitionist who had relocated to Iowa from Ohio. According to the book, "The Janesvillians, Volumes I and II" by Maxine Leonard, John T. Barrick built the first mill and frame house in the area. He platted the town of Janesville, which he named in honor of his wife, Jane McPherson Barrick.

It has been established that a tunnel once existed under the business district of Janesville. The tunnel ran between basements and below buildings on both sides of Janesville's Main Street, crossing below the street in the center of town and continuing westward to the Cedar River. One branch of the tunnel continued northward, connecting to the site of Fort John, a shelter built to protect settlers during the Ho-Chunk uprising in June, 1854.[5] The tunnel terminated in the basement of the home of Abel Crail, who later served in Union Army in the American Civil War, and was the first Commander of Janesville Post No. 172, Grand Army of the Republic. According to local legend, the Barricks and other townsfolk sympathetic to their cause aided in the escape of runaway slaves as part of the Underground Railroad. Slaves were moved through Janesville from Grinnell and continued to Decorah and into southeastern Minnesota. The tunnel has since been filled in and no longer exists, so some say. It is questioned by others whether or not this is true. People claim to have seen these tunnels and that in fact they still exist to this day.[3]

Note that the reference at "[5]" says nothing about a tunnel (and is not an RS). I don't have access to the source for "[3]", but it doesn't look like a particularly reliable source either. It was published by the "Quasqui Centennial Committee, Janesville, Iowa, 1974". It appears to be a kind of "oral history" compiled by an amateur (local) historian.

It's ironic that this was created by BilledMammal (T-C-L) who has been quite vocal about Wikipedia having too many article on non-notable subjects. It seems the only other article BilledMammal has created recently is Marlin Luanda missile strike (T-H-L), which also doesn't strike me as particularly notable.

How does someone go on such a bender of batteground pov pushing without getting slapped down? It's totally obvious the agenda here is to find as may ways as possible to say "United States bad". The only one that could be a legitimate topic to write an article about is United States militarism (T-H-L) but a lot of things I would expect to see in such an article: First Barbary war (T-H-L), Gunboat diplomacy (T-H-L), Big Stick ideology (T-H-L), Pax Americana (T-H-L), Military industrial complex (T-H-L), Guns versus butter model (T-H-L), Reagan doctrine (T-H-L), or Militarization_of_police#United_States (T-H-L) are all missing.

What it does have is a couple of authors criticizing W. Bush, and a theory from Mark Twain that foreign wars are trial runs for systems of oppression at home.

Political hypocrisy (T-H-L)
Someone pulled a quote from Thomas Hobbes and then used it to coatrack their ARBPIA PoV

I'm tempted to AfD that, with the rationale "A total crock of shite". No doubt that would be contested, on the basis that there's nothing in Wikipedia policy that disbars crock-of-shite articles, but I'm fairly certain it would succeed anyway, per WP:IAR if nothing else. Even the 'community' (or enough of them) must surely be capable of figuring out that it isn't possible to write an article on that nebulous topic that isn't going to be either random contributors opinions/coatracking, backed up by cherry-picked sources, or a sprawling unintelligible mess that contains absolutely anything remotely connectable with the subject: or most likely, both. If indeed there is a subject at all. Personally, I'd argue (as someone who has studied political anthropology), that the 'subject' is merely the intersection of two essentially universal aspects of human behaviour: hypocrisy and politics. Put a few dozen people together for any length of time, and both will become evident. If they don't, you are clearly actually studying shape-shifting lizards, or some other form of non-hominid. Hobbes was no doubt of a similar opinion, though I tend to be sceptical of people who cite him, given just how easy he is to cherry-pick for platitudes.

Vietnam War POW/MIA issue (T-H-L) reads like it was written by an advocacy group. Peppered with saccharine eulogies to how the POW/MIA issue is “diminished… but not gone” and how Americans can still see the flag flying…
The article seems to dance around the little problem (outside of snippets related to denial by the American Government) that such an issue is moot given there are assuredly no American POWs left in Vietnam, and any marked MIA are most certainly dead or do not want to be found.

I especially like the fact that Channel 1 branded TV stations in the United States (T-H-L) “is sorted ascending by call sign; click on any of the arrows to change how the table is sorted.” None of the lists with more than one entry seem to have that feature.

Wankel engine (T-H-L)

Not a crap article as such. In fact I'd say that it does a reasonable enough job of explaining how these engines work, if you already understand ordinary piston engines. Unfortunately though, it dedicates what seems to me to be an inordinate amount of space to a discussion concerning how you measure the displacement of the thing:

...and so on.

Does one formula really need five citations? And is all this maths really necessary? What percentage of readers will want to see all the formulae for competing approaches to the question? At a guess, I'd say none. Not unless they are already familiar with what seems to be some sort of obscure exercise in applied maths and nit-picking semantics, and want to join in. Unless I'm missing something, regardless of which formula you apply, you get the same end result anyway. Suck-squeeze-bang-blow, working with the usual rules of thermodynamics to give the expected output.

List of Five grains in world culture (T-H-L)

How has this word-salad persisted for 13 years?

Five grains, traditional set phrase for lists or groupings which may contain non-grain crops.[citation needed] Particular instances of Five grains of a single crop or other substance such as minerals and metals have historical or cultural significance as well.[1]

Where is Kate? (T-H-L)
Tabloid speculation with some conspiracy theory thrown in about Catherine, Princess of Wales (T-H-L) plus an edited photo.
Unsurprisingly the deletion discussion is the most active ongoing AfD (permanent link) with 42 votes in three days (second place has 23 votes in 22 days). Just as unsurprising is that there is strong support for keeping the article (1 speedy keep, 22 keep, 4 merge vs. 7 deletes and 8 "other" votes). I guess we're lucky that it's just one article. I'm actually surprised that the Mother's Day photo hasn't been spun out (yet).

Now back at AfD for a 3rd time, with the general consensus going somewhat differently on this iteration...
