The result of the move request was: moved. There is a consensus to move the page while Waverton railway station becomes a disambiguation page. (closed by non-admin page mover) Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 08:29, 15 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Waverton railway station → Waverton railway station (Cheshire) – Suggest that this article does not meet the criteria to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. This article is about a closed station in use between 1898 and 1959 located in rural Cheshire. Meanwhile, Waverton railway station, Sydney is about a station active since 1893 located three stops down from the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with over a million passengers last year. Unsurprisingly, pageview analysis suggests that the active station gets more views, about 200 versus 50 per month.

I note the convention seems to be for parenthetical disambiguation by ceremonial county, which seems to have alignment with adjacent policies WP:LONDONNAMES and WP:ENGLANDPLACE. Happy to stand corrected if this is the wrong approach. Tomiĉo (talk) 23:46, 8 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Seems fair enough, I presume you'd move the active station page to remove the brackets? Garuda3 (talk) 14:48, 9 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support the Australian one has 119 views compared with only 41[[1]] for the English one but I'd say no primary topic as PT swaps can cause problems. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:04, 9 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Comment Is the proposal to redirect Waverton railway station to the Australian station, or turn it into a DAB page? Tevildo (talk) 01:44, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
Open to discussion, but I'm leaning towards a DAB page. Tomiĉo (talk) 04:33, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
