– Amtrak service is now expected to be re-routed from Madera station (Amtrak) and Merced station (Amtrak), respectively, to these new stations before California High-Speed Rail opens (note that my proposed new titles keep a parenthetical disambiguation like "(California)" as long as there are no primary topics for the base "Madera station" and "Merced station", and articles like Madera station (Medellín) and Merced metro station respectively exist).

Oppose Definitely don't like the proposed article names, as there's no such place as New Madera or New Merced. WP:USSTATIONS prefers that disambiguation by system or line happen in the parenthetical, and I feel like the current parentheticals capture this fairly well. -MJ (talk) 03:06, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Mjdestroyerofworlds unless reliable sources give the station names as New Madera and New Merced. That's not how we name articles. Mackensen (talk) 11:21, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
