To hyphenate or not to hyphenate, that is the question[edit]

I recently moved this article from Winterthur-Wülflingen railway station to Winterthur Wülflingen railway station, on the basis that the SBB does not hyphenate the name on its web page (see, for example, this page). But now I've checked my Schweer+Wall atlas of Switzerland, which has Winterthur across two pages. One page uses the hyphenated form, the other the non-hyphenated form. And I've also just noticed that the picture on the article actually shows both forms in use on station name boards.

I know that the hyphenated form would be the norm in Germany. But judging by checking other stations on their web site usage, the SBB seems to reserve the use of hyphenation only for situations where the two elements of the name are peers (for example, Buchs-Dällikon railway station that serves the adjoining communities of Buchs and Dällikon), and does not use the hyphen where the second part of the name is a subordinate qualifier (for example, Zürich Wollishofen railway station that serves the Wollishofen quarter of Zurich).

So I'm going to leave the naming as is. But I'm still not certain. Thoughts?. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 10:55, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm late to the party but I agree with your analysis. SBB is consistent about the lack of hyphenation, and the German Wikipedia followed suit in 2022. Mackensen (talk) 17:27, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
