Halifax railway station → Halifax railway station (West Yorkshire) – This does not appear to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It receives only 53.6% of the views of ambiguous articles, and some of those are probably misdirected because this is located at the base name.|Halifax_railway_station_(Nova_Scotia)|Halifax_(MBTA_station)|St_Pauls_railway_station_(Halifax)|North_Bridge_railway_station It also has no more long-term significance, especially compared to Halifax railway station (Nova Scotia). Halifax railway station should redirect to the dab page Halifax station. Cúchullain t/ c 14:30, 7 July 2017 (UTC)

Redirect
I have reinstated the redirect Halifax railway station --> Halifax railway station (West Yorkshire) as the change meant that over 100 links that previously went to the correct location were being unnecessarily pointed to a disambiguation page. I haven't found any cases at all where the intended target was some other Halifax station. Colonies Chris (talk) 15:07, 13 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you for discussing (this is disappointingly rare).


 * The page views mentioned in the RM above also provide a marginal case for the revert, but it's close enough that I didn't consider it worth questioning.


 * ,, , any further comment? I assessed a consensus above about the redir, but only one of you specifically mentioned it. Are you happy to overturn that part of the RM close? Andrewa (talk) 17:32, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

 * The solution here is to fix the redirects. The base name should redirect to disambiguation as it's WP:INCDAB. However there's no rush; I'll try to get on it when I have some time.--Cúchullain t/ c 01:05, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
