– These changes are necessary in order to comply with the established naming convention WP:CANSTATION. These changes are also necessary to finalize consistency with article naming for all Canadian railroad and transit stations. The proposed changes for GO Transit stations align with article naming currently used for commuter stations of the West Coast Express in British Columbia, Exo commuter rail in Québec, and all inter-city rail stations of Canada current and former. The proposed naming scheme is also the standard formatting used with all stations of the CTrain (Calgary), Edmonton LRT, REM (Montreal), O-Train (Ottawa), Toronto subway, SkyTrain (Vancouver), and Ion rapid transit (Waterloo Region). In addition to the proposed changes for the GO Transit system, I have also listed several stations outside of GO Transit, in order to add disambiguation for stations sharing the same name as stations served by GO Transit. This especially will reduce confusion related to a current lack of disambiguation. As for the remaining stations, no other articles have a matching name, and disambiguation is not required per WP:DABNAME.

Comment. Three of the above will have to be fixed in order for the RMCD bot to recognize this request. If not fixed then this move request will have to be procedurally closed. The three are Darlington GO Station, Oshawa Central GO Station and Thornton's Corners GO Station, all of which are redirects, and redirects are ineligible to be current titles in move requests. Also, Long Branch station is a disambiguation page, so that entry also needs to be eliminated or changed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 20:28, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Fully Oppose per WP:CRITERIA, namely naturalness, precision, and concision. Perhaps recognizability as well. We should NEVER add parenthetical disambiguation to multiple articles just to "be consistent". This is a solution looking for a problem and a local guideline cannot override a project-wide policy per WP:CONLEVEL. —Joeyconnick (talk) 20:55, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  There is nothing natural or precise about the current article names - in particular, the capitalized "Station" is a blatant MOS:CAPS violation. Why should this one system be an exception to naming policies used on tens of thousands of station articles? Pi.1415926535 (talk) 21:06, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The most obvious example of why this change is needed is Rutherford station. Both stations have the same name, both stations have signage with the same name. One should not be perceived as being more notable or WP:PRITOP than the other just because the naming formats are currently different. Cards84664 21:11, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  If a paritcular pair of stations has an issue, that can be dealt with for those 2 stations. That doesn't require changing the article titles on dozens of other articles. —Joeyconnick (talk) 19:15, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't see how adding GO to every single article title satisfies concision. The CONLEVEL question is sticky. WP:CANSTATION was adopted as a guideline and has consensus. Extending it to cover GO stations in 2020 was discussed at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Canadian stations)#GO station naming and not adopted, but there wasn't a formal RfC to test the assertion that "X GO Station" is an official name. The inconsistent usage of "X GO", "X GO station", and "X station" would be enough under WP:NCCAPS to rule out an official name. They might be common names, but see my evidence below. I don't think it's clear-cut, and as far as I know this is the only set of station articles on the North American continent named in this way. Mackensen (talk) 00:45, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. These Go stations are commonly referred to with GO as part of the name. I would support decapitlising Station though. -- Whpq (talk) 21:48, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Yeah, if that's a significant issue, I would be okay with lowercasing i.e. GO station. My understanding was it was capitalized because regional rail stations get capitalized Station as it's considered part of a proper name (heavy rail stations between cities) while metro stations get station. —Joeyconnick (talk) 19:14, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. "Station" is capitalized in defiance of NCCAPS. Second, I acknowledge that GO Transit uses "X GO" (e.g. Aldershot GO), when talking about its stations: [1]. However, it doesn't do this in its system map. Station signage doesn't support the idea that "GO" is part of the station name, see for example File:Guildwood GO Station, October 2024 (IMG 03).jpg and File:Scarborough GO Station building from trackside.JPG. Finally, news articles about GO Transit stations are inconsistent about using "GO" as part of the name. Here's one example from 2021: [2]. Mackensen (talk) 22:15, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  See File:Grimsby_GO_Station_sign.jpg as a counter-example for signage; this one uses "Grimsby GO Station".

  And File:Scarborough GO Station building from trackside.JPG reads "Scarborough GO", does it not? 162 etc. (talk) 01:28, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Certainly the first one does. I actually gave the second one as an example of where it does not as it's clearly a logo. Amtrak uses its logo in station signage all the time but we don't treat that as part of the name, although the usage "X Amtrak station" can certainly be found in many places and no doubt by Amtrak itself. Mackensen (talk) 01:52, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It's definitely something that's subject to different interpretations, as the GO logo is a wordmark (much more so than say, the Amtrak logo.) Ultimately, the common name is determined by reliable secondary sources, not station signage. 162 etc. (talk) 01:54, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: see also this archived discussion and its followup from 2008. Mindmatrix 23:56, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. These are all properly titled per WP:COMMONNAME. 162 etc. (talk) 00:27, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Given that multiple editors dispute that assertion it would be helpful for you to explain why you think so, giving examples. Mackensen (talk) 00:35, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Most reliable sources use "GO". See usage in:

  Secondary sources: CBC, CP24, Durham Post, Toronto Star

  Official sources: Metrolinx, GO Transit 162 etc. (talk) 01:19, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The CBC source is taken directly, word-for-word, from the GO Transit update: [3]. The CP24 source is quoting from GO Transit. The Durham Post is a valid example. The Toronto Star is also a valid example, though it reads like it's taking what GO gave it. There are plenty of examples from newspapers.com of recent usage where "GO" isn't included when referring to station name. My point is simply that secondary sources aren't consistent in their usage, which you wouldn't expect with a proper or common name. Mackensen (talk) 01:59, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  > "There are plenty of examples from newspapers.com of recent usage where "GO" isn't included"

  I certainly wouldn't expect every single secondary source to use the same name. We can, however, look for "the name that is most commonly used (...) in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources", and my research shows that in this case, that is indeed "Foo GO Station". 162 etc. (talk) 02:49, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  So the agency which operates the stations calls them GO stations? Djflem (talk) 20:40, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Djflem The agency calls the stations, according to its website, "X GO"[4] and "X GO Station"[5] but also "X GO station"[6] Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 00:36, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose I get that it's unique but secondary sources consistently use the "X GO Station" format. BLAIXX 00:51, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  At the risk of bludgeoning, are you open to being convinced otherwise? I started a survey of Canadian newspapers on newspapers.com, looking at the last 20 years, and it's by no means consistent. I did see "X GO Station" any number of times, but I also saw station not capitalized, or GO and/or station omitted. That points in a different direction. Mackensen (talk) 00:55, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I am open to changing my mind but admittedly I am pretty strongly opposed at this point. I will say that I'm more open to your argument about inconsistent uses by sources than the argument that these pages should be move simply for "consistency". I get that West Harbour station looks more in line with other articles, but West Harbour GO Station is the more effective title (in my opinion) per WP:AT, particularly where it comes to being a name that is actually commonly used. The other thing I don't like about the proposal is that nearly half of them listed would go from natural disambiguation to parenthetical. I greatly prefer Richmond Hill GO Station to Richmond Hill station (GO Transit), for example. BLAIXX 01:17, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Individual stations can be adjusted as well. I have noticed that Richmond Hill station (LIRR) is a former station on Long Island in New York. As such, the GO Transit station is more notable as an open and active station, disambiguation for the GO Transit station can be dropped. Cards84664 02:05, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  You raise good points, let me offer some thoughts. One, you're right that many stations would need parenthetical disambiguation. Many of these stations have ambiguous names, which the "GO" convention masks. West Harbour station shouldn't be a red link. Two, if this is natural disambiguation and not a proper name then "Station" shouldn't be capitalized. I think WP:NCCAPS is pretty clear on that point. The usage isn't nearly consistent enough for a proper name. Three, it strikes me as odd to name articles "X GO Station" when in many cases GO is merely the most recent operator, and not necessarily the only one. Take Aldershot GO Station. Via also stops there. It's on the site of a former CN station. There's over 100 years of history. Mackensen (talk) 02:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I think the problem here is the bulk nomination. Unlike West Harbour, Aldershot is a good example of one that maybe should move (although moving it from Aldershot GO Station to Aldershot station (GO Transit) as proposed doesn't really address your points). BLAIXX 16:41, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  As Mackensen stated in his support rationale, station signage is not consistent. The GO logo is shown either before or after the station name. More importantly however, the letters of the GO logo should not be interpreted as part of a station's name. This is because when considering the positioning of the logo with the station name, that implies "GO Acton", not "Acton GO". This would be a different situation if all stations used "[LOGO] Name GO", but the word "GO" outside of the use in the logo is rare. Cards84664 01:29, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment:From what I can see, the 'X GO station' would be the official name, but is often shortened on maps/signs for simplicity. At the 'Find a Station' web tool, 'GO' appears to be a part of the official station name. 'Exhibition GO' for example https://www.gotransit.com/en/find-a-station-or-stop?onlyBus=false&onlyTrain=true & https://www.gotransit.com/en/find-a-station-or-stop/ex/station-details
  Here are furthur examples; [7][8][9]
  Despite the bulk nomination, I do think a handful of the joint VIA/GO stations should be considered for renaming (Aldershot, Oakville, Oshawa etc.) PascalHD (talk) 02:40, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. The official name of these stations is not "X GO Station" and that form is not always used as others have mentioned. Also, many of these stations existed before GO Transit and were called "X Station" or "X station" (eg Maple GO Station was always called Maple station). Cyrobyte (talk) 02:03, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  "X GO Station" is certainly the official name for at least some of these stations nominated. West Harbour GO Station, which opened in 2015, comes to mind. BLAIXX 00:13, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fixed. Cards84664 19:14, 10 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. Some of the new stations names lack consistency (such as Aldershot station (Ontario), Agincourt station, Bradford station (GO Transit), etc). I would prefer something like Aldershot GO station (having it lowercased to comply with WP:CANSTATION, but retaining "GO" in all station names. Stations that have other services, such as Via Rail, should be called something like St. Catharines station, because it doesn't just have GO service. Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 00:38, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Actually, for TTC stations, I would actually prefer Kipling TTC station than anything else. Myrealnamm (💬Let's talk · 📜My work) 00:46, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Alternative Station in these names should not be capitalised as a matter of course per WP:CANSTATION and WP:NCCAPS. I count that 21 titles (less than one-third) require some form of disambiguation. WP:NATURAL disambiguation is much more preferable and comma delimited disambiguation is more natural than parentheses. Where disambiguation is necessary, I would propose titles such as: Appleby GO station and Brampton station Ontario (or Brampton station, Ontario). I would oppose unnecessary WP:OVERPRECISION for the sake of WP:CONSISTENTCY, since a good majority of these stations do not require disambiguation. Cinderella157 (talk) 03:03, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Support for consistency with site style. Would also like to note that, with the Line 3 services being integrated within the building, that we should prefer Exhibition station (Toronto) as seen at Downsview Park station. Radagast (talk) 23:13, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. "GO" is actually part of the mostly commonly used names for these stations. WP:CANSTATION seems more targeted at railway stations where there is no common name, which is not the case here. If there are similarly named stations elsewhere, the current naming scheme is preferable per WP:NATURAL. If there are issues with individual stations (e.g. shared with other services) that should be assessed separately. No stance on if "station" should be capitalized, though usage seems decidedly mixed. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 00:38, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:TRAINWRECK which serendipitously applies here. It's preferable to use natural disambiguation over parenthetical disambiguation. Removing the word "GO" might be a good idea if it isn't needed for disambiguation or if it's not an official part of the name, but that might need to be resolved on a case-by-case basis. Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 00:56, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no difference if the renamings are proposed separately or together, either method used is still my request to apply the naming convention of WP:CANSTATION. Cards84664 05:42, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The naming convention says to use natural disambiguation where appropriate. However, this RM contains several moves that get rid of natural disambiguation by refactoring "GO Station" to "station (GO Transit)".

I would support dropping "GO" from the name when it doesn't require adding a parenthetical disambiguation, so I think the nomination should be split up. Chess (talk) (please mention me on reply) 16:39, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is a completely standard nom for multiple pages of the same subject. The argument that this is a WP:TRAINWRECK is very odd and out of place. Gonnym (talk) 12:36, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support: This proposed nomenclature is also consistent with the typical usage within articles. It's especially nice for stations such as Guildwood and Oakville that are not only GO stations, and stations like Kitchener and St Catharines whose articles already use this format. Suggestion: King City can omit the "(GO Transit)" suffix since the other King City station is abandoned and therefore less notable Reaperexpress (talk) 08:17, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
