List of Miami-Dade Transit metro stations

 * Nominator(s): – Dream out loud (talk) 03:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I feel that it meets all the criteria at WP:FLCR, and is on par with similar lists at WP:FL. I previously created the FL-class page List of SEPTA Regional Rail stations, and I feel that this list is equal to that one in quality and criteria. – Dream out loud (talk) 03:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Support a decent list, my main concerns addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:33, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Comments
 * and the Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station MOS:SLASH recommends to avoid slashes
 * The slash is in Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre station is part of the station name and article title so MOS:SLASH doesn't apply. – Dream out loud  (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * connecting Metrorail with the Tri-Rail commuter train, and a 1.4-mile (2.3 km) extension of the northern terminus to Palmetto in 2003 This is a bit awkward; can you rework? I'm not sure what the piece after "and" means.
 * I re-read it a few times and it makes sense to me. The sentence refers to two new extensions of the system, anad the second part of the sentence is the second extention.  – Dream out loud  (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * There's a new Ridership Technical Report out; can you update to March in the lead and table? I don't know the release schedule, but you might want to wait until the next technical report is released; I don't know the release schedule, but I assume it should be out soon.
 * See paragraph below. – Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Note 3: Currently closed for construction until mid-2015 do you have a citation for this, and can you be more specific? It's mid-2015 now.
 * Do you have a reference for note 4?
 * ✅ Reference added. Station is closed until "summer 2015" but as per WP:SUMMER, I said "mid-2015" instead.  There is no re-opening date available yet, so I instead changed it to read when it first closed. – Dream out loud  (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * You link South Florida Business Journal in reference 15 but not in reference 9.
 * ✅ – Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Reference 18 has an interesting page number. Is this proper?
 * Yes, this is because it is page 1 of the Broward section of the paper (referring to Broward County, as opposed to Miami-Dade County in which Miami is located) – Dream out loud (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Comments
 * I'm concerned about using ridership figures from just one month. For example, the College stops are less busy during holidays, and presumably there will be some spots which will be more popular during vacations. The use of exclusively "weekday" figures, not including any weekend figures can be misleading too: Miami International Airport is almost as busy at the weekends as weekdays, but this isn't the case for most other stations, so the use of these limited figures can be misleading. Unless you can expand them to properly represent the overall use of the stations, I'd recommend getting rid of them completely. Otherwise, a good looking list. Harrias talk 08:00, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
 * MDT releases ridership figures on a monthly basis, but I couldn't find any reports that note ridership averages throughout a year. I could update it for the most recent month, but it would have to again be updated the following month.  I can also remove the column entirely if other editors feel that would be appropriate.  Other FL-class station lists only use weekday ridership data, which is why that column is included and does not feature weekend ridership.  (e.g. BART, MetroLink) – Dream out loud  (talk) 15:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Archived already? Did it pass?  Fail?  Any notes other than just "archived"?  All the issues raised were addressed.  I don't see why this shouldn't have passed. – Dream out loud  (talk) 16:24, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
