– I would have been bold if it was not for me being uncertain with whether "Toronto Pearson" should be part of their names or if we should just use the city as the disambiguator as per WP:CANSTATION. ««« SOME GADGET GEEK »»» (talk) 01:24, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: None of the stations are actually in Toronto, but they are all at Toronto Pearson Airport, and it would be clearer to retain that. Two of them are only served by the airport people mover anyway and Terminal 1 has additional express service to downtown Toronto. Secondarywaltz (talk) 01:46, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • What do you think about the following: Viscount station, Terminal 3 station (Toronto Pearson), Pearson Airport / Terminal 1 station
    The 3rd one reflects both the UPX name and the Link name which disambiguates it. The downside of course is that there is no consistency between the 3 and the slash is undesirable. –BLAIXX 17:49, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Naming convention states that sentence case should be used and parentheses only be used after natural disambiguation. So there is not much wrong with the original titles except "station" should probably be in lower case. Toronto Pearson is the common name and these are all their facilities. UPX name Pearson station can be a redirect to Terminal 1 since the Link Train came first. Secondarywaltz (talk) 19:01, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What about Viscount station, which does not require disambiguation? –BLAIXX 20:08, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, there was nothing much wrong with the names before and these are all Toronto Pearson facilities. Simple clarity. Secondarywaltz (talk)
  • Neutral except for fixing the case. These articles already use lowercase "station" internally in some cases, and not in others. I've started to fix case in the articles, without prejudice to which dissambiguation style is chosen. In any case, a move will be needed to fix the case in the title. Could even be like Terminal 1 station (Toronto Pearson Airport) or Terminal 1 station (Toronto Pearson), I suppose. Dicklyon (talk) 05:14, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree that "station" should be lower case, but naming convention prefers natural naming over parenthesis. Secondarywaltz (talk) 05:18, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I prefer the current article names as they are more descriptive. The name "Terminal 1 station (Toronto)" makes me ask myself: Is that at the airport? Triplex uses "Terminal 1 Mississauga", "Pearson Airport Terminal 1 Mississauga" and "Toronto Pearson International Airport Terminal 1 Mississauga" but the current article names still seem better because they identify the airport by its popular short name.

  • Neutral I agree with the comments above comments that this is a tricky one due to the stations not actually being in Toronto and Terminal 1 belonging to 2 different services with 2 different names (UPX calls it Pearson Airport Station). I can't really support the old names or the new. –BLAIXX 23:12, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This one is not as clear cut as it may seem, especially given that there's more than one Terminal 1 stations in Pearson alone and that none of the stations are actually within Toronto city limits. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 02:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate proposal[edit]

  • Support this alternative as I noted above; just fix the caps. Dicklyon (talk) 15:46, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as I explained in my previous comments. Secondarywaltz (talk) 16:29, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support it's a much better option and much more consistent too! Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 03:12, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support it follows the naming conventions best. BLAIXX 04:27, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
