Page Move

[edit]

The article should be at Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street (New York City Subway). That title is used on the current subway map anyways. If no objection is raised, I'll move it tomorrow. Pacific Coast Highway {blah • Spinach crisis '06! • WP:NYCS} 05:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fourth Avenue–Ninth Street was the originally agreed upon name, so I've just gone ahead and moved it. Marc Shepherd 12:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Naming?

[edit]

This name is used by the MTA: [1] --NE2 11:10, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was really wondering about whether this should be considered a complex at all, not than the name. The two stations are rather poorly connected. Larry V (talk | e-mail) 21:46, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. I have no opinion on that. --NE2 00:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Split tag

[edit]

I am removing, as it seems to have been there a while without action taken.

For the record, I strongly oppose a split. Marc Shepherd 23:59, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming to 4 Av - 9 St

[edit]

In the following places, the MTA has taken to referring to this as a single complex, 4 Av–9 St:

  • "The Map" (PDF).
  • "F train printed schedule" (PDF).
  • "G train printed schedule" (PDF).
  • "R train printed schedule" (PDF).
  • "D train printed schedule" (PDF).
  • "N train printed schedule" (PDF).
  • R train line map
  • N train line map

It still refers to 4 Av or 9 St individually here:

Not sure what to make of this one:

So I think there are sufficient grounds to move this article to "Fourth Avenue – Ninth Street". Larry V (talk | e-mail) 23:43, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

General

@Epicgenius: for ALT1, I struggled to find the fact on the source linked - where on the page is it / what paragraph am I looking for? --DannyS712 (talk) 20:43, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, ALT0 isn't really interesting, and can I suggest "9th" instead of "Ninth" to be consistent? --DannyS712 (talk) 20:45, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DannyS712, thanks for taking this up. ALT1 is actually split up into two different locations in all these articles. I will add these sources to the lead of all the articles. Yes, we can switch "9th" for "Ninth". I have suggested ALT2 too, same source as ALT0. epicgenius (talk) 20:49, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Epicgenius: I meant where in the source is the information / what paragraph in the source page am I looking for? --DannyS712 (talk) 20:52, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
DannyS712 For ALT1, for the first source, the relevant paragraph is on the right side of the page toward the top. The second source is offline. For ALT0/ALT2, the relevant page range is offline but you can check this source too. epicgenius (talk) 20:59, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, the Eagle source also mentions a competition between two trains using the Sea Beach and West End lines, stopping at these stations. Would that make for a good hook? It is not cited in these articles yet. epicgenius (talk) 21:01, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, found the part in the source for ALT1. But, it appears to only say the extensions were authorized / funded, not that they occured --DannyS712 (talk) 21:05, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712: I might have picked the wrong source. Could you check out ALT3? epicgenius (talk) 21:10, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The stations aren't all mentioned in the source for alt3 --DannyS712 (talk) 21:15, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
All right, for ALT1, I have added this source to all the articles. For ALT0/ALT2, five of the seven stations are mentioned (all except 45th and 53rd) and there are other sources (like this and Cudahy) which show that all of the Fourth Avenue stations opened at the same time. I will add these soon. epicgenius (talk) 21:25, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@DannyS712: So apparently my ALT3 was wrong. I have added an ALT4. Can you take a look at this? Many thanks. I have also fixed the sourcing for ALT0 and ALT2 across all pages epicgenius (talk) 21:50, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have collapsed the individual reviews to make this more manageable, and removed the AGF for the source for the hook, since it looks like it'll be a different hook than the one those were for. I'll take a look at the alts proposed. Other than the hook being interesting, in the articles, and cited, the other requirements are met. --DannyS712 (talk) 06:10, 28 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT0: Red XN not interesting
ALT1: Rejected Source does not confirm the hook - it says the extensions were authorized / funded, not that they occured
ALT2: Red XN not interesting
ALT3: Red XN Was withdrawn by nominator
ALT4: Interesting enough, AGF for offline sources. Will check that it is in all the articles and sourced, but barring further complications it should be okay
Alt4 is approved --DannyS712 (talk) 03:28, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately given the overlap between articles, some of these fall short of the minimum 1500 characters of original prose. Nikkimaria (talk) 12:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah and Nikkimaria: Would it be all right to remove the 45th and 53rd Street links, given that they are almost identical up to the Exits subsection? These seem to be the odd ones out (having not opened with the rest of the stations). So basically this? epicgenius (talk) 17:03, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
What content are you counting towards which article? Nikkimaria (talk) 17:08, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, seems to add up. Nikkimaria (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
