Talk:Lynx Blue Line

Move proposal

With the opening of the CityLYNX Gold Line expected next month, the Lynx Rapid Transit Services system will have 2 operational lines. Therefore, there is now a distinction between Lynx Rapid Transit Services and LYNX Blue Line, and Blue Line information should be separated into its own article. This article (LYNX Blue Line Extension) was once located at LYNX Blue Line during a previous attempt to separate the line from the system, but was reverted after the above discussion. Now that the Blue Line should have its own page, I propose that this article be moved to LYNX Blue Line and be re-expanded to include all information on the Blue Line. I think this makes the most sense, as the Blue Line Extension information is really just a part of the history/future of the Blue Line, and doesn't really need its own separate article. Better to use this established article with page history than create a brand new article at LYNX Blue Line, and eventually need to redirect this article there. --Scott Alter (talk) 17:06, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Undecided - Do we have enough information to warrant a breakout of the articles? Keep in mind we already have an article for each station separately and this appears to not been an issue when the trolly system was active in concurrent with the blue line. It isn't unusual to have more than one line mention in the main article and the map layout showing as such. --WashuOtaku (talk) 18:40, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

There definitely is enough information for an article on each line. Each of the proposed lines already has its own article, except for the active line with the most information - the Blue Line. Lynx Rapid Transit Services should be about the system, while each line can have its own individual content. Lynx Rapid Transit Services may turn into more of an overview article with links to each of the lines, but most of what is there now will likely stay, with only some of the history moved to the Blue Line article. Rather than listing all of the lines in one article, each should definitely have its own article. If you think this doesn't leave enough content for Lynx Rapid Transit Services, then maybe that article should be merged with Charlotte Area Transit System (which I currently would disagree with, but just throwing it out there). I'm not sure what the relevance of the station articles is to this discussion. I have no intent to put station information in the line article. Also, I'm not sure if articles will be created for all of the Gold Line stops, but that is also irrelevant to this discussion. The trolley was not part of the LYNX system, and its history was completely separate from LYNX and the Blue Line. So that's not really a direct comparison. The Charlotte Trolley was a line and system in one - thus only needing 1 article. Originally, LYNX and the Blue Line were rather synonymous, but no longer with multiple lines. That's the differentiation. Do you have examples of other system articles containing all the information on all of its lines? I'd be interested in seeing those to potentially use as a template for this system. --Scott Alter (talk) 16:17, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

I support this, because it's common to have the operator and service articles separated to prevent them from being excessively long. Conifer (talk) 20:11, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Since there hasn't been much discussion here, I'm going to be bold and initiate this. As more information is published on the CityLYNX Gold Line, I anticipate that many sections of Lynx Rapid Transit Services will likely need to be split between CityLYNX Gold Line and LYNX Blue Line. But for now, I'll leave most information at Lynx Rapid Transit Services, and just restructure that page a bit. --Scott Alter (talk) 07:41, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Why are you trying to delete the LYNX Blue Line? You do realize that once the LYNX Blue Line Extension is completed, it will be incorporated into the LYNX Blue Line right? I'm fine you being bold and all, but the discussion was about breaking out the lines from the main article. I have contested the deletion. I recommend leaving the Blue Line in two articles, for now, till it is completed and can be integrated into the main Blue Line article. --WashuOtaku (talk) 13:01, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

This is a technical deletion of a redirect page so that an article move can be performed. There is no article at LYNX Blue Line (nor in the history of the article). This redirect needs to be deleted so that LYNX Blue Line Extension can be moved. Prior to my edits from earlier today, there was no article for the Blue Line at all. I don't understand why you are contesting this deletion of the redirect page. No actual content is being deleted - just the redirect. --Scott Alter (talk) 16:41, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
