Former Fire Station → ? – This is to generic of a title to be used on an article. There are other former fire stations in Windsor which show up in searches. This name seems to be heavy used since it is how the building is listed on the NRHP. Vegaswikian (talk) 01:52, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Suggest NRHP circa 1882 former firehouse at 14 Maple Avenue, since the NRHP nomination document calls it "c.1882 former firehouse at 14 Maple Avenue" -- 76.65.128.252 (talk) 00:17, 19 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
- I like that direction and Former firehouse at 14 Maple Avenue is shorter and precise enough. Vegaswikian (talk) 00:23, 19 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Rename to Former firehouse, Windsor, Connecticut. We do need to the name of the town for clarity, and are there really any more notable former fire stations in a city of less than 30,000 people? -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:40, 20 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
- Feel free to look at all of the NRHP articles that have equally vague titles. This is basically standard naming for these articles. For the record, I would like to see article naming guidelines give more support to inclusion of the location in the title. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:48, 1 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Comment What was the name of the station before it became former, Windsor Fire Station? There are no shortage of articles that employ this naming style for former fire stations. Just a thought--Labattblueboy (talk) 17:17, 20 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
- I tried to find this in the online sources without success. If anyone can find that it would be helpful. Note there may be another one of these called 'Old Wilson Fire House' in Windsor so Former firehouse, Windsor, Connecticut could be ambiguous. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
  - Ok then, I Support Former firehouse, Windsor, Connecticut, unless the true name can be found --20:10, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
