The result of the move request was: moved: Clear consensus that the page be moved, with no objections to it. Class455fan1 (talk) 17:15, 28 February 2016 (UTC) – I'm really surprised that nobody has ever bothered to move this article to an unambiguous title. For as much as I know, "Central line" is just as, if not more, ambiguous as "Circle line"? Moreover, people outside of London will tend to think that "central line" would mean "central venous catheter" at first thought. &#60;&#60;&#60; SOME GADGET GEEK &#62;&#62;&#62; (talk) 01:38, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Central line → Central line (London Underground)
 * Central line (disambiguation) → Central Line
 * Strong support WP:ASTONISH This isn't the London Wikipedia, central lines are prominent in medicine. -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 02:21, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Query - Are any of the other uses more notable than the London Underground line? Looking at Central line (disambiguation), the only one which pops out as potentially being more notable is the Central venous catheter, and given that is on another page already we could just change the hatnote of this article. -mattbuck (Talk) 11:08, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * There's no such concept as "more notable" in deciding whether there's a primary topic. It would be hard to imagine an argument to make any of the topics primary here.  Dicklyon (talk) 01:13, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Support – The present situation doesn't make much sense, and this is especially true if we are going to use lowercase "line" per WP:NCCAPS. The present title implies a generic category, as opposed to the specific London line, and there are "central lines" all over the place, in various fields. There is no reason to make navigation difficult in this way. RGloucester  — ☎ 20:37, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support as someone whose own city has a central line (for now).  Sounder Bruce  22:48, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support – Clearly there's no primary topic here. However, I would not capitalize Line in the disambig page title.  Dicklyon (talk) 01:13, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support as common sense! Jeni  ( talk ) 01:24, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Partial support. OK for the London addition (Proposer seems to think that any ambiguous term should be 'clarified', but this is not the case here: Central L/line could be a primary topic (by WP:DAB standards). In that case, no DAB term would be needed. However, the London line does not convince as a primary topic, so indeed the DAB term should be added).
 * wrt the capitalisation of Line/line? As is today, both Central Line and Central line are corvered in the Central line (disambiguation) page, which is OK per WP:DPAGE. With this, I think the DAB content should be in Central line (lowercase, as is today btw). Of course a redirect in the uppercase name page. -DePiep (talk) 08:42, 22 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Support. No reason to think this is the primary topic. Egsan Bacon (talk) 13:59, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. No evidence that this is the primary topic. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 16:57, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support. No clear primary topic. oknazevad (talk) 19:55, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per above. Class455fan1 (talk) 15:20, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support but make the dab not uppercase 2601:541:4204:7760:B120:7ED4:256:E2D6 (talk) 20:19, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

History / chronology
Should this not mention the Loughton - Ongar section first as this was built before the "core" central line? Crookesmoor (talk) 17:14, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Central line (London) redirect?
Would anyone object to the creation of Central line (London) as a redirect to this article? Fork99 (talk) 21:36, 13 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Why? Murgatroyd49 (talk) 07:29, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Murgatroyd49: Why what? Just as an FYI, Circle line (London) already redirects to Circle line (London Underground). Fork99 (talk) 08:00, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Is it something that is a likely search term? Most people will search for Central Line and come up with the dab page which will send them where they want to go. I would have thought Central Line (tube) or similar would have been a more likely term. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 08:23, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
