"Station" in intro
editPer the RfC, consensus is to include "station" in the intro where it's part of the article title.--Cúchullain t/c 22:41, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Cuchullain: A station is a station makes no sense as an introduction. The proper name of the station is "Flatbush Avenue" with "station" in lower case as a descriptor to distinguish it as not being a street in the title of the article. Secondarywaltz (talk) 23:29, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- That isn’t what the consensus decided. I’ll take another stab at the intro.—Cúchullain t/c 03:22, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- But you actually changed this so that it didn't match with other CDOT stations. Secondarywaltz (talk) 04:25, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- The other articles being out of compliance is not a reason to keep this one out of compliance.—Cúchullain t/c 12:52, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- That part of the RFC is utter nonsense. Repeating "station" like that is making Strunk and White roll over in their graves. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:19, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- Putting the title of the article in the intro is Wikipedia article writing 101. "Flatbush Avenue station is a bus rapid transit station" is not bad writing any more than "The killer whale or orca is a toothed whale" in the featured article Killer whale.--Cúchullain t/c 19:00, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

2022 planned renaming
editBy 2022 the station is planned to be renamed West Hartford station when the Hartford Line opens the commuter rail station at the site. J4lambert (talk) 15:38, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
