Talk:Cergy-Préfecture station

Requested move

• Support. SNCF maps and RATP maps name this station Cergy Préfecture, station signage bare Gare de Cergy Préfecture on a blue Transilien flag with green leaf. See SNCF map, RATP map on the top left corner. Captain scarlet 13:13, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose. As both maps provided by Captain Scarlet show, the word "gare" does not appear in this station's name, and is thus not part of the name. Hardouin 13:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment As stated in the move request, maps do not show Gare de but front signage does. Captain scarlet 13:27, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
• Strongly oppose. Gare de is not a part of the name. Of course it's written "Gare de Cergy Préfecture" on the station itself. When you're in front of a building, you must know what it is. It's a station, and not a post office. But it's not a part of the name. Gare de Cergy – Préfecture would be as incorrect as renaming Paris into Ville de Paris ("City of Paris"), but you'll see "Ville de Paris" on a lot of official papers edited by it.

  • Comment Renamin Paris to Vile de Paris is a good idea, I'll have to propose that, that'll prevent some users form off topic-ing and keeping the article focused. Never the less, the current naming is totally unappropriate. Cheers, Captain scarlet 16:39, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
