Transit Systems → Transit Systems (company) – Disambiguation necessary, the present name is way too generic. – Train2104 (t • c) 15:01, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
- Pinging Oknazevad (talk · contribs) who suggested this at the TFD – Train2104 (t • c) 16:37, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose as unnecessary overprecision. There's no other article that would take the name, especially with the capitalized S, and no point leaving the more natural and concise name as a redirect to the longer one. The generic title would be transit systems, which is unused at the moment. Station1 (talk) 05:13, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- I agree that the shorter name should not redirect to the longer one - is this a case where WP:DIFFCAPS applies? I'm not sure. – Train2104 (t • c) 17:57, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
- Because the capital S indicates a proper name, this would be a textbook case of DIFFCAPS if there was another article about the generic concept. Note that transit system (singular and lower case) is already a redirect to public transport, as are mass transit system and public transit system, while rapid transit system redirects to rapid transit.

- Support in principle; one of those cases where the capital doesn't sufficiently disambiguate in my mind, and so an alternate title is needed. That said, in the spirit of WP:NATURALDIS, I'd recommend "Transit Systems Pty Ltd.", using the suffix as a natural disambiguator, which is valid under WP:NCCORP. oknazevad (talk) 17:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose for reasons given by User:Station1, A quick look through the articles that link [1] indicates no major problem exists, most being transport related articles in the areas the company operates. Seems we are chasing a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist. Veinelaine (talk) 02:39, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:PTM. Transit Systems Sydney is only a subsidiary of Transit Systems. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:47, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
