Rowley railway station → Rowley railway station (England) – This long-defunct station is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC compared to the railway station in Massachusetts. It receives less page traffic, despite being at the base name Rowley railway station,|Rowley_railway_station and has no claim to greater long-term significance. Proposed disambiguation follows WP:UKSTATION; the base name Rowley railway station should redirect to the dab page. Cúchullain t/ c 18:32, 29 December 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * The one issue I see here is that the station in Massachusetts is called Rowley station not Rowley railroad station. I’m curious if that might affect the results (ie more people read the Massachusetts station article but most people tying the current title are in fact looking for this article).--76.65.42.214 (talk) 19:03, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Either way, the phrase "Rowley railway station" could apply to either subject, neither of which is detectably more prominent than the other. It needs to go to disambiguation.--Cúchullain t/ c 19:10, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
 * "neither of which is detectably more prominent than the other" - isn't Rowley (MBTA station) definitely the more prominent of the two? Whoop whoop pull up Bitching Betty &#124; Averted crashes 15:18, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the Massachusetts station is likely primary. In the very least, the British station is not primary.--Cúchullain t/ c 16:59, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Support per nom. The American station is the clear primary topic, so disambiguation is required. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:46, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
