Talk:Eglinton station

Re-add the Cinnabon image

Should this Cinnabon image be re-added to Eglinton station or to the Cinnabon article? Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 04:14, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Why do you think it belongs in an Eglinton station? Martin Morin (talk) 04:49, 12 December 2013 (UTC)

Switchover point for Line 1 operators

The following paragraph was removed from the article:

This station is used as a switchover point for Line 1 operators who are coming on or off their shift. There are sometimes slight delays at this station as subway operators are being changed.

The statements were removed because the TTC has ended the switchover at Eglinton station probably starting February 18, 2018 (start of new service period) but definitely by early March. Besides being obsolete, the statements had no REF, although they were essentially true (as per personal observation). The TTC had an office for operators under the second stairwell from the south end of the platform, which has since been closed. On April 11, I noticed that crew switchovers were taking place at Sheppard West station, and the office appears to be at the north end of the platform. But I have no REF to back up this observation; so I have not updated the Sheppard West article. TheTrolleyPole (talk) 23:37, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Eglinton station → Eglinton station (Toronto)Eglinton station (Toronto) – I just saw a couple of similar titles:

• Eglinton railway station (a closed station in Northern Ireland)
• Eglinton railway station, Perth (a proposed station in Australia).

I am not sure whether the Toronto or any other station should be made primary or whether the current title should be used to disambiguate. ««« SOME GADGET GEEK »»» (talk) 19:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Oppose – If one is closed and another merely proposed, and both are railway stations, pretty sure this one is fine given WP:NATURALDIS and any confusion can be dealt with via hatnotes. If the one in Perth gets built and people start referring to it as plain "Eglinton station" enough that it qualifies as its common name, then we can revisit. —Joeyconnick (talk) 22:34, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Oppose. We've been inconsistent about what to do when "X station" and "X railway station" both exist. Sometimes we disambiguate and sometimes we do hatnotes. Pageview statistics do suggest that this article is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I would suggest the creation of Eglinton station (disambiguation) to handle navigation between these articles, plus Eglinton GO Station. Mackensen (talk) 10:19, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

I like the idea of "For other uses, see Eglinton station (disambiguation)" on each of the 4 articles. BLAIXX 15:25, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

• Support. Being closed is irrelevant. No primary topic here. The station in Northern Ireland would obviously have been referred to as "Eglinton station". -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:43, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
• COMMENT: Eglinton GO Station is also in Toronto, if y'all had done proper research! Secondarywaltz (talk) 14:03, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
  • That makes things even more complicated! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:10, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
• Weak oppose Per Mackensen's stats given that the titles indicate that they are often called slightly different names, hatnotes are probably enough here. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:10, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose proposal, support Mackensen's and Blaixx's solutions of a disambig. page, and use of hatnotes. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:36, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
