Talk:Oakville GO Station

Article title
WP:CANSTATION makes no distinction between shared stations and stations with a single service (except where disambiguation is needed). The format of "X station" is used unless there is a WP:COMMONNAME that is consistently used by reliable sources. The name "Oakville GO Station" is used by CTV, The Hamilton Spectator, The Globe and Mail, and InHalton. I suggest we move back to long standing title of Oakville GO Station (along with Aldershot, Brampton, Georgetown, Guildwood, Malton, and Oshawa) and then someone can follow the steps for reqesting a potentially controversial move if they choose.

 * Could you give me a second opinion on this?
 * From my perspective, I see "Go" as a disambiguator in regards to "variances in station titles among different systems".  Cards   84664   13:50, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

The format X GO Station is a strange outlier; I can't think of any other stations in North America that follow such a convention. This was discussed during the adoption process: Wikipedia_talk:Naming_conventions_(Canadian_stations)/Archive_1, but consensus wasn't reached and we just let it be. I think it would be worth having a new discussion at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Canadian stations). In the meantime, I would have to agree with Blaixx's interpretation of the existing guideline. Mackensen (talk) 22:37, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Ok, I've started a discussion there.  Cards   84664   01:10, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
