The result of the move request was: Moved — Amakuru (talk) 14:50, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bayerisch Eisenstein/Železná Ruda-Alžbětín station → Bayerisch Eisenstein railway station – Two reasons:

1. The current title is extremely clunky and in contravention to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Multiple local names. The station is situated in both Germany and the Czech Republic, neither the Czech nor the German name is any more modern than the other, so we should keep the title at the one the page was created at which is Bayerisch Eisenstein. Železná Ruda–Alžbětín can be a redirect.

2. We don't have naming conventions for German or Czech stations, but it seems to be an established practice to use "railway station" for railway stations and "station" for ones which are also transport hubs in cities – see e.g. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (stations in Poland), Wikipedia:Naming conventions (UK stations). – filelakeshoe (t / c)  12:49, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I agree it's better to simplify the name. But since the station straddles two countries, the question is which name do we choose? I favour the German name not only because that was title under which it was created, but also because that was its original name (the border was originally between Germany and Austria-Hungary) and because that was its only name for much of its history. But the Czech name is important and should be in the first sentence of the lede, the infobox and in the redirect. --Bermicourt (talk) 19:33, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
