Hi ListenOrange,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap. Your interest in contributing to OSM is greatly appreciated. OSM aims to be a live map of the real world. Understand that your edits are useful for the wider audience and carry a great reach. If you were a user of OSM and relied on OSM for your daily map usages, knowing that a station you regularly travel by is deleted because of clutter does not seem reasonable. There are a lot of other ways you can contribute to the map. Ex: Adding roads and buildings in your neighborhood. Further you can micromap certain things like adding height information for buildings. There are a lot of exciting things and possibilities. But I would not suggest deleting already mapped features for aesthetic or personal purposes.
Thanks.

Hi Manohar,
Thank you for your kind review. I hope I haven't made a mistake!
I created an area around the train station that I tagged as Railway Station and I named this area Pointe-Claire.
However, I soon noticed that the train station was already marked with a Railway Station point, as are all other train stations along this line. This meant that when zooming in, an user would see the name of the point marker *and* the name of the railway station area I had just created.
I decided to remove the name of the railway station area so as to not needlessly double the displayed names.
Does this clear up the situation? As you can see on the current map, I have not deleted the Railway Station point marker, just the name of the Railway Station area.
Thank you and best regards,
