What's its name?

[edit]

Do as you please, that's the WP rule, but in the matter of the name of this station and what its article should be.

  • The ATOC London Connections map lists the station as "St. Margarets (Greater London)" to which it was renamed. The latest rename back to "St Margarets (London)" is based on the unsourced statement that it is "known by both names, but this more commonly". It is to be doubted if one user in a thousand ever refers to the station with an added geographical locator.
  • The most likely expression used for it (and for hundreds of similar structures) is "The station". Last time I had to go just short of Ware I asked for a ticket to "The other St. Margarets, not the one just down the line". WP should show what things are, not what "They" think they are. Several ?illion people think X made the universe with rule set A to be obeyed, another ?illion think it was Y with rule set B and so on and on, not one of which mutaully exclusive thoughts need be correct.--SilasW (talk) 09:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a more WP:COMMONNAME for the station than the wiki-creation of "St Margarets railway station (London)". Lamberhurst (talk) 17:29, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
