Move[edit]

Cards84664 should this not be Coventry railway station (England) as per WP:UKSTATION? Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 17:12, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Why should it be moved at all? Surely this is the primary meaning of the term, it's certainly by far the most important Coventry station? Shouldn't this have been put to a RM? G-13114 (talk) 20:26, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the recently-added hatnote says "For the tram stop in Shaker Heights, Ohio, see Coventry station (GCRTA)" - a tram stop, of all things - not even a major railway station with regular services to such places as far apart as London, Glasgow, Manchester, and Bournemouth. The station in England is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the two, and this article should not have been moved without a WP:RM first. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:58, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. But as Coventry railway station still redirects here, that was pretty pointless move anyway. -- Dr Greg talk 21:08, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

An obvious case of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. For shame, Cards84664. Useddenim (talk) 21:23, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I figured being consistent with disambig was a primary goal. I'd like all of you to take a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation/New York City Subway/Station naming convention#Unnecessary and overlong "disambiguation" parentheticals to station complexes, the arguments being tossed around are what got me thinking this was wrong in the first place.

Coventry is not in New York, nor even in the USA. It is an ancient city in England with a proud and noble heritage (some of which was destroyed by Hitler). --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:48, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This should be moved back and subject to an RM if necessary. I would think this is a clear primary topic for Coventry station and Coventry railway station. Mackensen (talk) 21:49, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks EurekaLott for moving it back again. -mattbuck (Talk) 05:55, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
