Horten Station (1881-2007) → Horten Station (historical) – This article was recently renamed, which may be justifiable because a new Horten Station will open soon, but the date range does not seem like the best choice as a disambiguation term for the former station (especially with a hyphen instead of a dash). As far as I now, this is the only historical Horten Station (and the only article title on Wikipedia with a hyphenated date range starting after 1861). The date range seems hard to remember, and the 2007 part of it appears to be unsourced. Some links (e.g., in the Horten Line, List of discontinued railway stations in Norway, List of railway lines in Norway, Chronology of Norwegian railway lines, and Timeline of railway electrification in Norway articles and the {{Horten Line map}} template) have been incorrectly leading to the Horten Station article due to being left over from when this station was described with that title. Also, only that one has been listed on the Horten (disambiguation) page. In the last couple of months since the page renaming, a pageview comparison shows both articles having low page views and neither being dominant (especially when considering the incorrect links leading to the Horten Station article, which could inflate its pageview numbers. — BarrelProof (talk) 21:27, 14 October 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- If we're going to put the starting date in it, I think we should keep the end date as well, as in Horten Station (1881–2007). Note that Pennsylvania Station (1910–1963) has both dates. My impression is that using only one date for the name of a building or institution would imply that it continues to exist. I still think "(historical)" would be friendlier to readers. — BarrelProof (talk) 19:26, 22 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Also, the destruction date is unsourced, so "(historical)" may be better attested. — BarrelProof (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

- That's not the case. I mentioned Madison Square Garden (1925) in the other thread, but there's also other examples like Atlanta Union Station (1930) or Toronto Union Station (1873). I'm not aware of a naming convention that specifically refers to this. 162 etc. (talk) 19:40, 27 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
