Old discussion

Is there any reason that the station is called Aquarium/Financial District on this page? I rode the blue line in from Wonderland many a time and never saw or heard any sort of indication that the financial district was part of the name. 76.102.50.71 (talk) 06:13, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aquarium station (MBTA) → Aquarium station – Clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in a WP:TWODABS situation. Pageviews for this article outnumber those for Aquarium station (River Line) 7-to-1. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:50, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Pi.1415926535, JE98, CAPTAIN MEDUSA, and Dicklyon: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:54, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think this one needs a discussion first. Although the article in question is clearly longer than the other, they are two different stations and there should be a consensus. Personally, I oppose because of the fact that they are two unrelated different stations. JE98 (talk) 01:51, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with JE98.~~ CAPTAIN MEDUSA^talk 01:58, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How does a 7-to-1 ratio of pageviews (not length) not satisfy WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? Clearly, the vast majority of people looking for "Aquarium station" on Wikipedia are looking for the MBTA station, not the River Line station. And how does them being unrelated stations matter? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 03:46, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Those are topics for an RM discussion. Dicklyon (talk) 05:46, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Current titles fit WP:USSTATION guidelines for disambiguation. Yeah, the MBTA station gets more views, but we're talking a difference in absolute numbers of less than 15 views difference on average, for two articles that average less than 30 views a day combined. The ratio doesn't really tell the story than both of these are obscure, low-traffic articles and that neither of them is really a primary topic. oknazevad (talk) 14:23, 9 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Improved to Good Article status by Pi.1415926535 (talk). Self-nominated at 05:04, 30 March 2020 (UTC).[reply]

New enough Good Article. QPQ present. Sources back up the hook and are included in the right spots. The hook is _quite_ catchy! Not seeing any other issues. Raymie (t • c) 19:42, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
