Anjirang StationAnjirang station – Per WP:NCCAPS and consistent with recent moves of railway station articles, such as Talk:Airport South station#Requested move 6 January 2018 and Talk:Baihuting station#Requested move 6 January 2018. Note that if this article is moved it means other articles about stations of the Daegu Metro should be moved in the same format. feminist (talk) 09:06, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose: The guidelines at WP:NCCAPS actually support the present capitalized format, as it is a proper noun in just the same way as Eiffel Tower. The format is also supported by WP:Common use. --DAJF (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per WP:NCCAPS, MOS:CAPS, and WP:CONSISTENCY with the zillion prior "Station" → "station" and "Line" → "line" moves. The idea that these are proper names is bankrupt; this has been rejected in at least 50 RMs. Sources do not consistently capitalize these things, so WP does not either. These are descriptive appellations. Grand Central Terminal is a proper name, because it's not descriptive, but an evocative, metaphoric label. Eiffel Tower is also; it's named after a person. Anjirang station appears to be named after a local landmark; it's a descriptive. By DAJF's reasoning every single station article would have to have "Station" in it, but this is precisely the opposite of the conclusion consensus has consistently reached. (People get confused about this, because the underlying placename is often named after a person and is thus an evocative, metaphoric, proper name. E.g. Van Ness Avenue in San Francisco, versus Van Ness station, the Muni station descriptively named for the major street at which it's located.)

    WP:COMMONNAME is not a style policy and completely irrelevant to capitalization questions. It's the policy that tells us it is some stylization of Anjirang [s|S]tation, not Engirang [s|S]tation or Chicken Palace [s|S]tation or Batman [s|S]tation, or Anjirang graveyard.
