Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Gushu station” as metro station in Shenzhen, China. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Gushu, station and metro.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2011—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2011-06-15. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Gushu, station and metro providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Gushu station”, the useful work is to connect “metro station in Shenzhen, China” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5620906. Authority coordinates are 22.604, 113.842. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
