[edit] Beckenham Junction station -> Beckenham Junction
Would there be any objections to moving this to Beckenham Junction? There isn't anything else called "Beckenham Junction", so the "station" seems superfluous. --CapitalLetterBeginning 15:27, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
- Moved it. --CapitalLetterBeginning 13:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

- The naming convension for UK railway stations though should make this Beckenham Junction railway station. --Achmelvic 13:14, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

- It's also a tram station, which I assume is why it was moved from Beckenham Junction railway station to Beckenham Junction station, but there is absolutely no need for the word "station" in the page title. The usual reason to have it there would be to disambiguate from a placename (cf. the names of most other stations), but that's not applicable here. If it's the convention to have "station" in there nonetheless, then I would argue against convention. I see no specific mention of it in Wikipedia:Naming conventions. --CapitalLetterBeginning 13:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

- Hate to upset anyone but it really should be called "X" Station - look at all the London termini, "they" (the cabal that run wikipedia - lol) have insisted on it ;) Pickle 16:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

- Reverted page move. See Birmingham New Street. Mrsteviec 21:14, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

- But the argument there was that the sign at the station said "Birmingham New Street Station" rather than just "Birmingham New Street". At Beckenham Junction, however, the signs just read "Beckenham Junction", so that's not applicable here. --CapitalLetterBeginning 22:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

- No the argument is that stations have the word "station" in their name. And FYI signs on the platform itself never have the word station in them as, if you look at them from a passing train, you are expected to realise it is a station. Mrsteviec 07:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Right, sorry, should have been clearer. Never mind the signs on the platforms, I'm talking about the sign at the front of the station. Whereas, as shown in a picture at Talk:Birmingham New Street Station, "Station" is clearly part of the name of that station, the same is not true of Beckenham Junction. And it's simply not true that all stations have "station" in their name. --CapitalLetterBeginning 11:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
