Junagarh railway station → Junagarh Road railway station – Junagarh Road is the correct station name. KumarHitesh24 (talk) 14:53, 28 April 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. buidhe 22:05, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

• Oppose. What makes you think it's correct? In terms of our article naming policy, the primary source you quote is irrelevant. It's a very common mistake, so hang in there. Andrewa (talk) 15:25, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Support (change of !vote). Evidence and a valid argument finally provided, see below. Andrewa (talk) 22:03, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support. Given it says Junagarh Road on the facade, I think we can assume that's the name of the station. For names of railway stations we would usually use the official name unless that was ridiculously long-winded (e.g. suddenly the name of some local luminary was added to the front of an established name as sometimes happens). But this is a bog standard station name without any puffery. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:43, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
  • Comment: This certainly strikes me as sensible and well put. People are likely to refer to this name IMO. Official names do not always enter into common use even in official timetables and route maps, for example Charles de Gaulle–Étoile is commonly just called Etoile in my experience. But rather than apply wp:IAR, can we find examples of other articles where this is a de facto standard already (obviously IMO CdeG is a counterexample) and argue consistency, or sources that use the proposed name, or should we even consider a naming convention to cover this and similar cases? No change of !vote as yet. Andrewa (talk) 16:46, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
• Support per nomination and Necrothesp. The photo appended to the infobox does depict the station name as "Junagarh Road", rather than simply "Junagarh". Also, Template:Railway stations in Odisha provides confirmation that this is not a unique naming form and that other Odisha stations, such as Badabandha Road railway station, Baitarani Road railway station or Kendrapara Road railway station also use it. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:08, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
  • There is an argument from consistency in this !vote, with evidence, and that's the first valid argument to move that we've had IMO. Thank you! But I must I think point out that the station name board is a primary source. Still, the valid arguent is enough for me to withdraw my opposition. Andrewa (talk) 22:03, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

A redirect from the official name should be created rather than moving the article. That's unless this official name is also the common name, in whch case the article should indeed be moved. But that seems unlikely as the station in question does serve Junagarh. Andrewa (talk) 15:31, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
