Where did the tracks of the Gare d'Orsay lay? David.Monniaux 20:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Merger?
I'm going to propose a merger between this article and Musée d'Orsay. This article essentially contains no information that is not present or would not belong on the Musée d'Orsay page. We're talking about the same building, so why not make it the same article? I'll add tags to both. -Lamarcus (talk) 04:07, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Object. Gare d'Orsay relates to the station building and railway history, Musée d'Orsay relates to the museum, two very different subjects adequately treated in either articles with little over lapping. Merging both articles would mean one topic would be crushed by another depsite both topics having clearly defined subjects and periods. If anything is missing from this article, it should be added, the solution is not merger; a merger that would have to be undone once more content is added.

For- there really is not much history behind the history of the train station besides that it becomes the museum.


 * Strong object: There should be two articles, one on the architecture and history of the building & one on the world-class museum. 82.123.223.72 (talk) 17:47, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * ...I agree with our anonymous objecter. ...as in Musée du Louvre and Palais du Louvre. The design and construction of the Gare d'Orsay is worth its own article. Very brief summaries and links to the other article should be included at each, in the usual manner.--Wetman (talk) 18:32, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong Object: the two are completely different apart from the fact that they share the same building. It would be like merging Palais Bourbon and Assemblée Nationale. Chris DHDR 17:03, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Name
What is the derivation of the name "d'Orsay"? Andy Mabbett (User: Pigsonthewing ); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 20:27, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
 * The station (and by extension, the museum) was named after its location in Paris on the Quai d'Orsay, which itself is named after Charles Boucher, Lord of Orsay, the administrator of commerce for the city of Paris 1700-1708. Orsay is a town in the southwestern suburbs of Paris. Cnbrb (talk) 18:39, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
