Article title
editA little bit of what I feel is an inconsistency in article nomenclature, but do you guys think it would be better to give the article title the line's full name North South Line rather than its abbrev. counterpart? I realize we use MAX Light Rail and WES Commuter Rail, but it feels weird to do this for a line. Thoughts much appreciated. :) --Truflip99 (talk) 17:16, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
- Truflip99, the article's title should be the most common name it is called, with alternate names redirecting to it. I am interested in doing the DYK review for this nomination, but I think we need to decide on the naming convention first. Flibirigit (talk) 04:47, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Flibirigit, I've embraced the current name, as it differentiates it from the other North South Lines out there and it is in fact equal if not more common than the alternative. As such, I concede. --Truflip99 (talk) 05:55, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
- I agree that the article should retain its current title, of NS Line. To me, that name has always appeared to be in more widespread use for this subject than the spelled-out version is. And (as Truflip just noted above) it is also distinctive, differentiating the line from other north–south lines. SJ Morg (talk) 08:18, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
- Since there have been no further requests in the last three months to rename the article, I am satisfied with this dicussion as being final. Flibirigit (talk) 19:06, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
