Talk:Dunsmuir station

Requested move 13 February 2016

The result of the move request was: Close. I participated in the RM, but I'm closing now since after 5 weeks of being open, both articles have been moved anyway. We appear to have a clear consensus for this; if there are objections we can open a new RM. Cúchullain t/ c 13:17, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

– Per WP:USSTATION for the current article. The California station, in my view, is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC over the station in British Columbia, which was a flag stop and lost service in 2011. Natural disambiguation is available for that article and follows the current conventions (see examples in Category:Via Rail stations in British Columbia). After the move, Dunsmuir railway station should redirect here, and there can be a hatnote for the disused British Columbia station. Mackensen (talk) 19:46, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Dunsmuir (Amtrak station) → Dunsmuir station
 * Dunsmuir railway station → Dunsmuir, British Columbia railway station
 * I've boldly moved the BC station and redirected the generic one here. If you want to, you can now move the Amtrak station. Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:23, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I see you've found Hayward station with the same problem. You should probably just boldly move any of those minor or closed stations you encounter. Secondarywaltz (talk) 20:48, 13 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Support as per nom. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:24, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose "Dunsmuir station" should become a disambiguation page. Moving the BC station is a given, since it is ambiguously named, but that name "railway" should also point to the disambiguation page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.51.200.135 (talk) 05:37, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Since there are only two stations this should be dealt with by a hatnote. A disambiguation page is not recommended. Secondarywaltz (talk) 06:57, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:USSTATION and WP:TWODABS. The former British Columbia station can be linked in a hat note.--Cúchullain t/ c 17:25, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
