Title

The title that's actually used for this station is San Marco Station, per JTA.[1] Additionally, the current title is natural disambiguation, which is preferable to a parentheses. The parentheses here is also insufficient; JTA runs many, many bus stations; this one is specifically a station of the JTA Skyway.--Cúchullain ^t/c 15:06, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong again. San Marco Station vs. San Marcos Station. The only disambiguation is the lack of an "s" in the JTA Skyway station. Both need the qualifiers. --------User:DanTD (talk) 19:21, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Per the WP:NATURALDIS policy, "Titles of distinct articles may differ only in their detail. Many such differences involve capitalization, separation or non-separation of components, or pluralization". There are no other "San Marco Station"'s and the lack of an "s" effectively distinguishes it from the Texas station. And the station is never called simply "San Marco", which everyone in Jacksonville would identify with a neighborhood or San Marco Boulevard.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:06, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but "San Marco" vs. "San Marcos" are too close. Plus the station in Texas is an Amtrak station with no sign any other railroad is going to use it, and the one in Jacksonville is a Monorail station of the Jacksonville Transportation Authority Skyway. --------User:DanTD (talk) 20:50, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They're effectively distinguished by the different spellings, and on top of that I've added hatnotes to each article for anyone who's confused.--Cúchullain ^t/c 20:53, 23 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, but when you read them aloud, it's easy for them to sound similar. Regardless, there's still the distinction of the one in Jacksonville being a JTA Skyway station, and the one in Texas of being an Amtrak station. -------User:DanTD (talk) 17:52, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If people are confused, the hat notes will get them where they want to go.--Cúchullain ^t/c 17:59, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
