Akaike Station (Nagoya) → Akaike Station (Aichi) – This station is the only station of Nagoya Municipal Subway that not located in Nagoya City. I think it’s inappropriate to name it as Akaike Station (Nagoya). そらみみ (talk) 05:22, 5 January 2018 (UTC) --Relisted.  Paine Ellsworth  ^put'r there  10:37, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

• Move to Akaike Station (Nagoya Municipal Subway) Akaike Station (Nagoya Railroad) instead, given the precedent with Leander (Capital MetroRail station); in that example, that station is the only Capital MetroRail station to not be located in Austin, Texas even by technicality.

  This station is not only a station of Nagoya Municipal Subway, but also a Nagoya Railroad station.--そらみみ (talk) 20:31, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

  In that case, maybe this page and the other one should be organized by rail system instead (Akaike Station (Nagaragawa Railway) for the other similarly-named station). ToThAc (talk) 21:15, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

  So you mean change this page to Akaike Station (Nagoya Municipal Subway & Nagoya Railroad), and the other one become Akaike Station (Nagaragawa Railway)? But it's much longer than the name used now.--そらみみ (talk) 18:17, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

  Japanese train systems are obviously more complicated than a new single-line system in Texas. Not a very good reference point, in my view. wbm1058 (talk) 23:44, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

• Comment. 09:33, 13 August 2015‎ Gryffindor moved page Akaike Station (Aichi) to Akaike Station (Nagoya): be specific about the city. So this is a request to revert a previous move. – wbm1058 (talk) 23:44, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

  Thanks a lot. I want to revert exactly.--そらみみ (talk) 07:25, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support move to Akaike Station (Aichi), or better still Akaike station (Aichi) (lower case s) as done in Hong Kong and elsewhere. Although it's not binding in Japan, the logic behind the recent UK discussion applies: follow the name with the largest unambiguous location. Akaike station (Japan) would be insufficient here because of Akaike Station (Gifu), and (Nagoya) is inaccurate, so (Aichi) it is. Certes (talk) 11:37, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

  In Japan, big letter is often used on entrance or building of a station. Please see File:Nagoya-subway-T20-Akaike-station-entrance-2-20171122.jpg.--そらみみ (talk) 13:30, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose Disambiguated stations either have the city name after it or the line they are on, not the province or state. See Queens Park (London) station as an example or Wall Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line) or Xinjiekou Station (Beijing). Gryffindor (talk) 21:15, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

  UK station names generally follow National Rail usage, which is the city in London and a few other major cities but the county elsewhere. So Queens Park (London) but Newport (Essex) for Newport (Essex) railway station, etc. Certes (talk) 22:40, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

  This station is not in Nagoya City. If using the name of city, it should be named as Akaike Station (Nisshin). I think many people don’t know where this city is.--そらみみ (talk) 06:17, 17 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support: Standard policy for disambiguation is to use Prefecture > City > Ward. This station is in Aichi Prefecture, and is not even in the city of Nagoya, so the choice of "Nagoya" is totally incorrect. --DAJF (talk) 07:33, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
