Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Spanish solution
I found some stuff, but most of it isn't ''reliable, third-party, published''. The German article on this topic (Spanische Lösung) was created on February 18, 2005. According to the dewiki article, the spanish-solution concept is also referred to as "Zwillingsbahnsteig" (lit. "twin platform"), cited in the dewiki article with a https://www-docs.b-tu.de/fg-eisenbahn/public/Lehre/Stud_Arbeiten/Diplomarbeiten/mueller.pdf PDF doc from Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus (November 2005).An online-search for the German term "spanische lösung" gave some results, with the majority being passing mentions newer than 2005. (https://www.merkur.de/lokales/muenchen/stadt-muenchen/zweite-stammstrecke-sti732792/2-stammstrecke-muenchen-station-am-hauptbahnhof-falsch-geplant-9873205.html Münchner Merkur article about the planned "Hauptbahnhof Bahnhofplatz station" (passing mention of the concept), http://stuttgart-journal.de/tp3/2015/10/29/haushalt-region-stuttgart-390-millionen-zum-verteilen/ Stuttgart Journal article about regional budget (passing mention of the concept), https://www.cdu-region-stuttgart.de/2015/10/19/spanische-loesung-fuer-die-s-bahnstationen-auf-der-stammstrecke/ CDU Region Stuttgart proposal from 19/10/2015 to refit Stuttgart S-Bahn trunk line stations with spanish solution platforms (non-RS))A gbooks search in German for "spanische lösung bahnsteige" seemed more useful, with some hits to books from pre-2005 in German, so the term "Spanische Lösung" was used before the creation of the dewiki & enwiki articles.

I know that's neither indepth coverage nor a reliable third-party source, but it shows that the term is used in somewhat official/rail-industry context. (https://www.2.stammstrecke-muenchen.de/strecke/streckenverlauf-und-bahnhoefe/hauptbahnhof DB Netz AG website about the planned "München Hauptbahnhof Bahnhofplatz station" mentions the concept, https://www.deutschebahn.com/resource/blob/1299956/310abe927114b08f57c7de15973266a8/04-05-Die-2--Stammstrecke-und-die-Station-Marienhof-data.pdf Deutsche Bahn AG PDF about the planned "Marienhof station" (mention of the concept), https://www.2.stammstrecke-muenchen.de/strecke/streckenverlauf-und-bahnhoefe/marienhof DB Netz AG website about the planned "Marienhof station" (mention of the concept), http://2-stammstrecke.die-bahn-baut.de/docs/275/2SBSS_PFA3neu_18-1_Erlaeuterungsbericht_Geologie.pdf 2. S-Bahn-Stammstrecke München Erleuterungsbereicht Planfeststellungsabschnitt 3neu 18.02.2010)I also found two PDFs from the Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Verkehr und Technologie (Bavarian ministry of economic affairs and transport), and one from the Eisenbahn-Bundesamt (Federal Railway Authority), mentioning the German "Spanische Lösung".

The biggest problem with the article in its current form is a lack of sources and the super long list of example stations (almost all without references/sources). Regarding keep/merge/delete, im undecided for now. (Maybe  could be a solution
