[edit] Requested move

It was requested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it to be moved. --Stemonitis 00:37, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.


Gawler railway line, Adelaide → Gawler Central railway line, Adelaide — It is referred to by the operators as both Noarlunga line and Noarlunga Centre line, likewise the Gawler Line as Gawler Central line. This move is to standardise how Adelaide's rail lines are referred to. Conversely, Noarlunga Centre railway line, Adelaide can be moved to Noarlunga railway line, Adelaide.

  1. Oppose I believe the article should refer to the town/suburb the line goes to rather than the name of the last station. (I therefore would support moving Noarlunga Centre Line to Noarlunga Line.GK1 08:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Problem with that is there is no suburb called Tonsley, thus the Tonsley line would have to break that convention.--AtD 09:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Problem also in that there is no single suburb called Noarlunga.--cj | talk 20:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
  1. Oppose. Adelaide Metro refer to the Gawler Train [1] on the Gawler Railway Line [2]. "Oppose struck as I would have voted oppose until I noticed my second reference also has "Gawler Central Railway Line" --Scott Davis Talk 13:50, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Add any additional comments:

Given that either form could be correct, I suggest that we err on the side of common usage and adopt simply "Noarlunga" and "Gawler".--cj | talk 20:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gawler Central/Gawler Line issue

I believe that this article should be renamed Gawler Central Line. TransAdelaide offers services during peak times which do not stop at Gawler Central the final stop but terminate at Gawler and return to Adelaide. To avoid confusion between the 2 services the line should be renamed Gawler Central. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Standspace (talk • contribs) 05:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

The result of the proposal was move. JPG-GR (talk) 04:29, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Gawler railway line, Adelaide → Gawler Central railway line, Adelaide — The line is referred to by the operator as the Gawler Central line as it terminates at Gawler Central Station, which is in the suburb of Gawler. The other line in Adelaide with a similar name has an article titled Noarlunga Centre railway line, Adelaide instead of just "Noarlunga railway line, Adelaide" I should note. Second time a move has been proposed (see above). —Somebody in the WWW (talk) 13:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Support - I'm happy with this so long as naming conventions are supported. While we're at it, can we get rid of the "X Interchange, Adelaide" and use the proper railway station convention. TheInterchanges primarily are railway stations (and were originally built as such), so they should reflect that - no other Australian city calls their interchanges with different conventions.

  • Support as per the archived discussion above. --AtD (talk) 22:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
