• London Underground C Stock → London Underground C Stock (District Railway)
• London Underground D Stock → London Underground D Stock (District Railway)

– Pinging Shhhnotsoloud, Thryduulf, Redrose64.

I feel that both this page and London Underground D Stock should be moved to London Underground C Stock (District Railway) and London Underground D Stock (District Railway) respectively. I have already tried moving both pages myself, but was reverted. The reason for the page move is so we can avoid confusion with the more recent 1970-2014 C Stock or 1980-2017 D Stock which are much more likely to be searched than these older District Railway rolling stock. Also because C Stock and D Stock lead to the more recent types of rolling stock, and can confuse readers, as Shhhnotsoloud stated at the RfD page ([1]). I therefore believe moving this and London Underground D Stock would significantly reduce confusion between these two types of rolling stock, and their more modern counterparts. Also consistent with London Underground S Stock (ex-Metropolitan Railway) which is probably named that way to avoid confusion with the current, much more likely to be searched, London Underground S7 and S8 Stock, with both London Underground S Stock and S Stock redirecting to the same article.

• Support per nom and my comments at the RfD. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:25, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
• Support per nom and the comments at RfD. Thryduulf (talk) 11:30, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
• Support, per above. There should also probably be redirects London Underground C Stock (1910) and London Underground D Stock (1912). AlgaeGraphix (talk) 12:12, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
• Qualified Support, although not to facilitate redirects to the 1970s built stock, or to clear the path for the C69/77 and D78 articles to be renamed as neither are primary topics. Post the rename, London Underground C Stock and London Underground D Stocks should become disambiguation pages namely;

  London Underground C Stock a disambiguation for London Underground C Stock (District Railway) and London Underground C69 and C77 Stock

  London Underground D Stock a disambiguation for for London Underground D Stock (District Railway) and London Underground D78 Stock. Lochinaness (talk) 06:13, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

  The 1970-2014 C Stock and 1980-2017 D Stock technically are the primary topics, since they are the types of rolling stock that are most likely to be viewed as well as searched. We could create a paragraph at the top of each page linking readers to the older types of rolling stock, as has already been done on London Underground D78 Stock and London Underground S7 and S8 Stock, e.g.

  "D Stock" redirects here. For the 1912 Metropolitan District Railway Stock, see London Underground D Stock.

  @C2A06: Since this discussion is still open, you should not have made edits like this, this or this which pre-empt the outcome of this discussion. You should wait for it to be closed by someone who is not involved, preferably an administrator, who will then carry out any maintenance edits that may be necessary. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:54, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

  The 1970-2014 C Stock and 1980-2017 D Stock technically are the primary topics, since they are the types of rolling stock that are most likely to be viewed as well as searched. That is more what first comes to (your) mind than a primary topic. To be the primary topic, it needs to be heads and shoulders above all others in terms significance, e.g. London vs London, Belgrade. The more recent rolling stock is likely to be more highly searched, much like the British Rail Class 43 (HST) probably is compared to the British Rail Class 43 (Warship Class), yet British Rail Class 43 is set as a disambiguation.

  @Lochinaness: To be the primary topic, it needs to be heads and shoulders above all others in terms significance The C69/77 Stock and D78 Stock still have much more significance over the older District Railway C/D Stock. The London Underground C69 and C77 Stock and London Underground D78 Stock are the most edited pages, the most searched, and the most read compared to these District Railway rolling stock. They are the primary topics because they have been used most recently and have transported millions of passengers each day, hence why they are most likely to be searched and have much more significance. I am not adding them in just because they are what first come to my mind. C2A06 (About • Talk • Edits) 05:34, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
