On 26 October 2022, it was proposed that this article be moved to Airport station. The result of the discussion was Moved to List of airport stations. |
Requested move 26 October 2022
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Moved to List of airport stations. Per consensus, the article looks like a list, thus moving to List of airport stations. As noted in the discussion, a separate and shorter dab page will be recreated just for the stations' articles that are specifically named as Airport station, Airport metro station, etc. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 02:44, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
Airport Station → Airport station – per WP:NCCAPS. Useddenim (talk) 15:03, 24 October 2022 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). Steel1943 (talk) 02:28, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Personally I would agree with this move, but it doesn't feel completely uncontroversial. Dr. Vogel (talk) 22:44, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
- Seems uncontroversial to me. Are you contesting this DrVogel? - UtherSRG (talk) 12:02, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- Personally, I have a strong preference for avoiding unnecessary capitalisation. But about this one, I'm thinking people may argue that the "station" bit is actually part of the name of the place. Dr. Vogel (talk) 12:12, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
- I disagree, most sources in that list have "station" in lowercase. I believe that the move would be very reasonable. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 01:40, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Support: As I mentioned above, most sources in that list have "station" in lowercase. I believe that the move would be very reasonable. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 02:34, 26 October 2022 (UTC)- Move to List of airport stations: On second thought after reading Thryduulf's comment below, the article does look like a list. As such, I shall change my position and support a move to List of airport stations. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 13:58, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I appreciate the ping, Steel1943. Wikiexplorationandhelping (talk) 02:37, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Support: as expressed above, I agree with this change, but it couldn't be handled as a technical request because it is potentially controversial. Dr. Vogel (talk) 10:09, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Support as a clear case of WP:NCCAPS - UtherSRG (talk) 10:36, 26 October 2022 (UTC)- Move to List of airport stations per Thryduulf. This is a much better solution, and aligns with other list articles. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:55, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Support per nom.--Ortizesp (talk) 14:18, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm not sure that this is the right title for this article in either capitalisation. It is not an article about either a specific station called "Airport" or "Airport Station" but equally it is not an article about the concept of an airport station, rather it is an incomplete list of stations located at airports which include the word "Airport" in their name which seems rather arbitrary to me. It would be better named something like List of airport stations with a defined inclusion criteria regarding counts as an airport station. Thryduulf (talk) 11:49, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
- Note: If the consensus is a move to List of airport stations, these should remain on the page Airport Station (disambiguation):
- and possibly Lufthavnen station. There may also be a few others I missed, and redlinks on a dab page are a separate issue. Useddenim (talk) 13:15, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Copying those out to a separate dab page along with Airport metro station (Nagpur) and Airport Metro station (Tyne and Wear) (Airport metro station redirects to this page) is a good idea as the current page is trying to do two jobs. It might be better to do the split differently though and move the non-dab entries then move this page to the lowercase title instead though? Thryduulf (talk) 19:40, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

- Comment I can see why people are supporting "list of airport stations", and I don't think it's bad idea, and it's definitely better than the current title. And it is true that it does look like a list. My personal preference would still be "airport station" as originally proposed by Useddenim because it's shorter and neater. But yeah, anything is better than the current title. Dr. Vogel (talk) 21:54, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Article scope
[edit]I see that the article's scope was quite confused, so I think this list should definitively be about ALL transport/transit stations at airports, not just ones that are called exactly "Airport". It seems a bit pedantic to only include those, and as a reader, when I first saw this list, I was expecting somewhere like Bangkok's airport stations to be on the list, but they're not because they're not called "Airport station".
This list is still missing a lot of stations, including from the UK, tram stations, etc. Probably could use [[Category:Airport railway stations]] to fill in this list. Fork99 (talk) 01:21, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
- I completely agree with this remark. Please don't hesitate to add in this article any missing airport stations which you see. Carfois (talk) 13:40, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
