Source-derived summary

Nanlou Station (Chinese: 南楼站) is a station of Line 1 of the Tianjin Metro. It started operations on 12 June 2006.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Nanlou station” as tianjin Metro station. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewMost useful as a place-based finding aid connecting the present description to earlier jurisdictions, maps and built evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2006—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2006. The account is most persuasive where Nanlou, station and Tianjin can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as tianjin Metro station. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

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 25, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5974179. Authority coordinates are 39.095, 117.218. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006.

Critical limits

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. 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.
