Frankfurt Airport Regional Train Station → Frankfurt Airport Regional station – This article has just been renamed from Frankfurt Airport Regional Station without a discussion, and this request is to move it back again. There are two issues with the current name:

The move logic was based on a name used by the airport's website - not DB or multiple English sources - which by itself is not really authoritative.
It no longer conforms to the existing Wiki convention for station names in Germany, which is "Foo station" or, less commonly "Foo railway station".

Support. Proposer's vote as per above. --Bermicourt (talk) 06:07, 2 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Support. DB no doubt used google to translate as it appears to in many of its English web pages. We need consistency and with a choice of "railway station", (British 19th century), "rairoad station" or "railroad depot" (US 19th century), or "train station" (late 20th slang affected by the introduction of bus stations), I would go for "station" by itself. Note that this user has also moved Frankfurt Airport long-distance station (and unnecessarily deleted a reference) and that he has been unnecessarily capitalising station in various places.--Grahame (talk) 02:29, 2 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
