NAIT station → NAIT/Blatchford Market station – On January 20, the "temporary" NAIT station will close and will be replaced by a permanent station called NAIT/Blatchford Market station. NAIT station was open for about 8 years and is located about 150m away from the new station. I think we have two options:
 * 1) One article. We complete this move and have one article that covers the history of the temporary and permanent stations.
 * 2) Two articles. We don't move this article and keep NAIT station about the former station. Then we create NAIT/Blatchford Market station to be an article about the new station. BLAIXX 18:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support option one. No need for two articles. 162 etc. (talk) 18:24, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Option one is the better option in this scenario. A section can be created for the former NAIT station ShallowC (talk) 04:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Support Option 1. Per what the others here have already said. OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 04:59, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I was also leaning towards #1 since this feels like one single topic. BLAIXX 01:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

"NAIT station" article?
In Calgary a VERY similar situation happened with the 10 Street SW Station, with the station being replaced by Downtown West–Kerby Station. Even though the new NAIT/Blatchford Market Station is in very close proximity to the old NAIT Station, I think the two stations are different enough to warrant separate articles. I believe that considering the fact that NAIT Station operated on it's own for 8 years makes it stand on it's own separate from the new station.

NAIT/Blatchford Market comes from a different transit project than NAIT, with it coming from the same project as Blatchford Gate (see: attached link). Meanwhile NAIT Station came from the initial 2015 Metro Line.

I think considering how different the two stations are, alongside how the two stations come from separate city projects, warrants the two stations having separate articles. CnekYT (talk) 02:07, 25 February 2024 (UTC)


 * One difference between NAIT station and 10 Street SW station is that NAIT was always intended to be temporary. That's why the original had a bare bones design and was only long enough for 3-car trains. <b style="color: #329604">B</b><b style="color: #FD8F42">L</b><b style="color: #0096FF">A</b>IXX 04:49, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Right. They're two iterations of the same station.  One article is enough. 162 etc. (talk) 17:02, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't there be separate widgets for NAIT/Blatchford Market and NAIT stations at least in the article? (kind of like how there's a separate widget for the transit centre for Stadium station (Edmonton)) CnekYT (talk) 17:17, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
 * There's no transit centre at NAIT. 162 etc. (talk) 17:45, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
