Rename edit
Can this article be renamed to Martinsburg Train Station? It serves Amtrak and MARC. This would be in line with Harpers Ferry Train Station. —Al E. (talk) 13:31, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I'll just go be bold. —Al E.(talk) 17:07, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Harpers Ferry Train Station is the name given by the National Register of Historic Places, which has nothing to do with the fact that it serves both Amtrak and MARC. Martinsburg has no such deisgnation. I returned it to the previous name. ----DanTD (talk) 16:22, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- Okay, fine. Is there any place where the naming-convention is documented? Why, for instance, does the fact that it's an Amtrak station "win" over the fact that it's a MARC station? BWI Rail Station also serves both, but it doesn't get a parenthetical disambiguation of any sort. Laurel (MARC station) is in the NHRP, so its article name should be Laurel Train Station instead. Why the differences? I'm just trying to educate myself. —Al E.(talk) 16:53, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- The NRHP names that one Laurel Railroad Station, but it's an active MARC station, it gets the current name Laurel (MARC station). BWI Rail Station was originally an Amtrak station before it was a MARC station, but I'm not sure why this one doesn't have any qualifiers. There have been some pretty heated arguments over naming conventions for railroad stations lately, and to be honest I've never been a big fan of the renaming of Harper's Ferry station. ----DanTD (talk) 18:22, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- Where are these conversations taking place? (Headed off to the Wikiproject Trains page.) —Al E.(talk) 18:25, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- Most of the ones I'm talking about have been archived. Here's a more reasonable discussion. ----DanTD (talk) 18:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
