Requested move 15 February 2016

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. Something happened to this RM and it fell off the log and was never closed. I participated, but am closing anyway, as the support is unanimous and in line with WP:USSTATION. Cúchullain ^t/c 16:26, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

– Per WP:USSTATION. System disambiguation is the only option with three stations in the same city. Mackensen (talk) 14:36, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

• Comment You are really just moving the word "station" around. How could anybody object? Secondarywaltz (talk) 15:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

• It's a triple move, and there's no previous engagement with the CHSR stations. Also, I think the ground is less settled with disused stations, and there's no harm in letting this run its course. Mackensen (talk) 16:21, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Does this improve Wikipedia in any way? Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:45, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Which, the move or the discussion? In both cases I think yes, else I wouldn't do it. While readers likely won't notice a difference, that's true for lots of things we do here. The more natural disambiguation removes a bone of contention between TWP and the rest of the project, which is why I started the discussion that became the USSTATION guideline. This move request is a natural outcome of eliminating preemptive disambiguation. As for starting a request instead of just doing it, I prefer discussion when there's any possibility of doubt. In this case, that's mostly with the former SP station. The guideline is unsettled (though not a subject of disagreement) in that case, and a couple move requests with discussions will help build consensus. Mackensen (talk) 17:01, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

• Support all per WP:USSTATION. I'll create the dab page now.--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:19, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
• Support per nom and applicable guidelines. --Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 18:20, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
• Support. Just to make it clear, after my sarcastic comments above. Secondarywaltz (talk) 18:26, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
• Comment. I very much dislike the lower-case 's' in the context of the station name, but I realize that this is a decided matter. For consistency Merced should be included in this batch of moves. Antony–22 (^talk⁄_contribs) 00:41, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

•  Done; no unsettled questions there. Mackensen (talk) 01:01, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

• Support per USSTATION. epicgenius (talk) 20:00, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
