Requested move 4 July 2019[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The result of the move request was: Withdrawn by nominator. There is another 'Parc' metro station in Montreal. (non-admin closure) BLAIXX 14:06, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Parc metro station (Brussels) → Parc metro station – disambiguation is not required. There are no other articles with the same title. BLAIXX 12:45, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Sam Sailor 13:05, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are other parc stations on metros: see Parc station (disambiguation). Danski454 (talk) 12:50, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- The two other entries both go to Park Avenue station (Montreal) but it would be good to include a hatnote on the Brussels article. BLAIXX 13:05, 4 July 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sam Sailor (talk • contribs) [reply]

Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with * '''Support''' or * '''Oppose''',then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Comment To be clear, this article would be renamed to Parc metro station and a hatnote at the top of the page would be added: For the metro station in Montreal, see Park Avenue station (Montreal). Also, Parc station (disambiguation) would continue to exist to as a redirect from "Parc station". BLAIXX 13:40, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:02, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Would you mind elaborating? I would've thought that between "Parc metro station (Brussels)" and "Park Avenue station (Montreal)", The Brussels station would clearly be the primary topic for the search term "Parc metro station". Thanks! BLAIXX 15:24, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
According to the article, the metro station attached to Park Avenue station is called Parc, not Park Avenue! See also Blue Line (Montreal Metro), where it is listed as Parc. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:15, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No guarantee that there won't be a Parc station on some other metro in the future, in which case the move will have to be reverted. Useddenim (talk) 23:21, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
We can't predict the future. If a new Parc station does open up, the page can be moved again, that's not a problem. The only thing we can do is choose the best article titles for the present. BLAIXX 23:55, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Parc station (Montreal Metro) is another metro station named “Parc” and it’s covered in an article that gets far more page views than the Belgian one. That article may need to be renamed.—Cúchullain ^t/c 12:09, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense. It seems like the Montreal station should be renamed to something with "Parc station", given that is a current name for the station in French and English. Personally I would prefer hatnotes and no parentheses for disambiguation, but I think the consensus here would be for "Parc metro station (Brussels)" and "Parc station (Montreal)". BLAIXX 12:25, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A cursory look at Google news suggests that "Parc station" is in more common use than "Park Avenue station" for the Montreal station in English. I'll go ahead and move the article.--Cúchullain ^t/c 13:16, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
