Salisbury railway station → Salisbury railway station (Wiltshire) – This doesn't appear to be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the term over the three others of the same name: Salisbury railway station, Adelaide, Salisbury railway station, Brisbane, and Salisbury station (North Carolina). The proposed title seems to be the preferred disambiguation per WP:UKSTATION based on recent RMs such as this, but others may be available. The bottom line is that Salisbury railway station ought to redirect to the dab page. Cúchullain t/ c 15:36, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the other stations appear to be considerably smaller, less used and less well known than this one, particularly the North Carolina one which only appears to get 4 trains a day? The Brisbane example appears to only get 8 trains a day, if I'm reading that correctly, while the Adelaide example seems to have a roughly half hourly frequency. The Wiltshire station however, looking at live departures seems to have 8 departures over the next hour for example. While the number of trains isn't everything, it's actually a fairly good guide on how major the stations are. Jeni  ( talk ) 16:06, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Note on usage The UK station is used by 1.9 million people, while the US version is only used by 31,539. Can't find stats on actual usage for the ozzy versions, however judging by the amount of trains serving them I'll be surprised if they come anywhere near. Jeni  ( talk ) 16:20, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose. All my searches point to the UK station being the primary topic for this title, even when logged out, using the South African google and excluding Wikipedia. Thryduulf (talk) 12:41, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose What they said. Plus, the last station move wrecked incoming links. -- Red rose64 (talk) 21:36, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose per everyone above - The UK one's Primary by far. – Davey 2010 Talk 20:42, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Planning on taking new pictures for this article
