[edit] Article name
I'd like to propose changing the article's title from Camden Yards station to Camden Station (with a redirect from Camden Yards station). My rationale is as follows. In the past ½ year, the article has been expanded threefold from a stub to cover the entire history of Camden Station beginning with the B&O terminal in 1856 to the current MARC operation. Throughout its 130+ year history, it was always called "Camden Station" by the B&O and in the Official Guide of the Railways. It is still called Camden Station by MARC in the MARC Camden line schedule. Only the MTA refers to the light rail stop as "Camden Yards". So, instead of using the Light Rail's term for the article title, I think we should use the MARC name for this railroad station. JGHowes talk - 15:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Support-This should be done. Murjax (talk) 15:56, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Weak support. I don't feel that strongly about it one way or the other. It should be noted that the MTA also is the operator of MARC, so the same agency calls the same station (and it really is the same station -- the MARC and Light Rail tracks are immediately adjacent to one another) by two different names. I suppose the historical name should be given preference, but I think it's important to note that Light Rail stop has a different designation close to the head of the article. --Jfruh (talk) 19:18, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
