Dab page[edit]

I've just reverted the changes to this article as this page doesn't seem to qualify as a dab page. A disambiguation page would mean that something is ambiguous, for instance a line called R5 in the US, and a line called R5 in the UK. That is not the case here. From what I understood, this article is concerning a former line that was split up. That doesn't make the line's name ambiguous. It was simply split up, and the article should simply reflect that. So someone in the know, please look at the modifications I made, and fix the article. --Midas02 (talk) 06:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the case of "R5" such a disambiguation can be made, specifically involving a current Disney associated pop band. If you're going to restore these though, you should rewrite them in the terms of past tense. Having said that, the color-bars should be revived for the stations that were closed before 2010, when SEPTA got rid of this system. -------User:DanTD (talk) 23:32, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what I did, until someone else decided to get involved. I don't know anything on the topic though, that's why I would prefer someone knowledgeable to look into it. --Midas02 (talk) 01:20, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Possible article split[edit]

The article has been templated for a possible split for 5 1/2 years. I'm removing the templates for the following reasons: 1 No one seems interested in doing it. 2 The article size is small enough that it's not very necessary. 3 Both parts of the line are named "R5" and it seems very reasonable to keep them in a single article under that title. 4 It appears that the split articles would have rather awkward titles, and I suspect readers may be better off simply finding them at this title.

If someone wants to revive the idea of a split, I have no objection. Alsee (talk) 08:25, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see the previous topic, I get the impression you may have missed it. --Midas02 (talk) 19:51, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
