Division station (CTA Blue Line) → Division station – WP:MISPLACED JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 05:58, 22 December 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). – robertsky (talk) 01:04, 23 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 07:35, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

• • There are also two defunct stations Division station (CTA Logan Square branch) and Division station (CTA North Side Main Line). The redirect used to point to the dab page Division#Places. BegbertBiggs (talk) 13:35, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

    I think the Blue Line station, as it's the only one still in service, should be considered the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 16:20, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

    That would make it a PDAB; PDABs are, by definition, not uncontroversial. 162 etc. (talk) 17:33, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

    Why would it be a PDAB? Proposer is suggesting it's a primary topic. Station1 (talk) 23:50, 22 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes, you are correct. We will discuss whether this is a primary topic (not PDAB). 162 etc. (talk) 17:47, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose proposed move, Disambiguate by creating a dab page at Division station over the redirect (dab drafted below the redirect). No primary topic in terms of usage, and being the only active station does not automatically make it a primary topic (in fact the former stations could have more long term significance). Mdewman6 (talk) 19:36, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Alternatively, retarget the redirect to Division#Places where the three stations are already listed. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

• Oppose instead disambiguate. This also refers to the station of a division, ie. where an army division is located. the homeport of a naval division, the control house of a rail division. -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 07:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
