Suggested rename / move[edit]

Hi all. I suggest that this page by renamed as Southern railway line, Queensland (currently redirects to this page) or Southern railway line (Queensland) and that Southern railway line redirect to Southern Railway, which is a disambiguation page. The reasons are pretty obvious in that in a global sense, the Queensland line is not so significant that it should be listed without qualification of where it is located.

Support I agree that it's hard to argue it's a primary topic. Southern railway line, Queensland would be my choice as it would be consistent with other railway articles in Queensland where disambiguation is required. We seem to use ", Queensland" for man-made things like towns, schools, etc and "(Queensland)" for natural things like rivers, mountains etc and I have a vague idea that's documented, although I can't remember where so it may just be my imagination. Lots of links to fix though ... I can help with AWB if that's needed. Kerry (talk) 23:43, 30 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Southern railway lineSouthern railway line, Queensland – See past informal move discussion above at Talk:Southern railway line#Suggested rename / move. The current name could be confused with Southern Railway (disambiguation) or Southern Line (disambiguation). A similarly named article Western railway line, Queensland is already named as such, with Western railway line redirecting to the dab page Western Line.

I also propose changing the redirect target of Southern railway line (current name) to Southern Line. Do note that "DIRECTION Line" and "DIRECTION Railway" are separate dab pages, but they do link to each other/other similarly named pages in their see also sections. I can help with using AWB to fix the broken wikilinks by this change. Fork99 (talk) 04:17, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Current title is ambiguous and could easily be confused with others. ╠╣uw [talk] 10:36, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
