Article move
[edit]Sportsguy17 (talk · contribs) just moved this article from 1990 Back Bay rail accident to 1990 Massachusetts train collision on the grounds of "Standardized title". Is it though? Eyeballing Category:Derailments in the United States suggests that locales are often used in naming, and I find the original name far more helpful in locating the incident. Is there a guideline informing this? Mackensen (talk) 23:56, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
- @Mackensen: I moved the page on the basis that it was more or less a train collision. However, if this is more or less classified as a derailment, feel free to revert accordingly. My page move would only be considered standard if it is considered a collision and not a derailment. As for the guideline for this, I made the page move based on other similar page moves like 1996 Silver Spring, Maryland train collision to 1996 Maryland train collision, but again, if this accident isn't classified as a collision, then revert my page move as necessary.

- I'd agree that it's a collision; I'm objecting to the Back Bay/Massachusetts portion. This is always referred to as the "Back Bay" collision, and as I indicated other articles tend to be located at the locality where the incident happened. Mackensen (talk) 02:28, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
- @Mackensen: I decided to add "Back Bay" to the title to clarify any confusion about the incident. Is this an acceptable title? Sportsguy17 (T • C) 03:54, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
- Third-party comment: this sounds like a good name to settle on. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:13, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
