Baraboo station → Baraboo Chicago & North Western Depot and Division Offices – Revert back to official name of the building. This article is about the building and it should use the official name, not "Baraboo station". It no longer servers as a station so not only is the current article title incorrect, it is also not-consistent with similar articles. JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 10:44, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

- Oppose. Names used by the National Register are often [improper capitalized] descriptive names; they should not be assumed to be official names. (See for example Attleboro station (Massachusetts), which is listed as "Northbound and Southbound Stations".) In this case, I don't see any evidence that the NRHP descriptive name is either the official name nor the common name. "Baraboo station" is accurate (while it is not currently a train station, its primary notability is as one), concise, and consistent with the WP:USSTATION naming guideline.

- Oppose, the National Register has no standard system of naming landmarks, there are wild inconsistencies. As such, we already have WP:USSTATION as a naming guideline. Also, "it is also not-consistent with similar articles is blatantly false. Cards84664 00:43, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per Pi.1415926535. NRPH names are descriptive, not official. Mackensen (talk) 00:35, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per Pi. Although I sympathize with the view that the station is no longer in use as a railroad station, the current title meets both WP:CONCISE and WP:USSTATION, while the proposed title does not. Additionally, NRHP listing titles are really inconsistent, as mentioned above; see for example, Wisconsin Pavilion and 1964–1965 New York World's Fair New York State Pavilion (the latter of which is at a much shorter title now). – Epicgenius (talk) 14:39, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- I reconsider my viewpoint and no longer wish to move this article. I don't think I can just close this per the support above? Either way, oppose, bad nomination by me. --JackFromWisconsin (talk | contribs) 18:44, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
