– I’m not quite as sure with these suggestions as I am with Montréal station → Montréal station (Ottawa), but I did want to file another RM request just to see what others' thoughts on these page names. The first entry pair have very similar names, albeit utilizing each slightly different spellings based on the respective streets they are named after (those road articles could also maybe disambiguated). So maybe the current titles and hatnotes for the first two are fine? However, I do feel a bit more confident with the third entry. The current article title might imply it belongs in Lyon, France, and the hatnote does link to a section on the Lyon article which lists the railway stations there, none of which are simply named "Lyon" verbatim, but each has "Lyon" in their names. It’s similar to the Montreal station case in that perhaps having a dedicated disambiguation page for all the similarly named stations is preferable; i.e. Lyon station → Lyon station (Ottawa) and Lyon station becomes the disambiguation page.

  • Comment: Lyon station as a disambiguation page would effectively be a duplicate of Gare de Lyon (disambiguation) (which currently doesn't include the station in Ottawa). Ham II (talk) 16:05, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
  • :That's because the station in Ottawa is not known as "Gare de Lyon". 162 etc. (talk) 22:28, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Oppose Lyon: It's the only "Lyon station" and the hatnote is doing its job to help out readers who are in the wrong place. I did just update the text to point to Gare de Lyon (disambiguation) rather than Lyon#Transport. BLAIXX 21:09, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Support all. Very clearly ambiguous. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:34, 29 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Oppose Lyon station adding in a disambigutator to the main article title is unnecessary. This is what {{Template|About}} is for. Legend of 14 (talk) 22:19, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
