# Talk:Yew Tee MRT station

Image:NS logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Aljunied MRT Station which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you.  —RMCD bot 09:30, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

@Danielbunchie: just to let you know that I partially reverted your edit, as the station's name was already mentioned in the "details" section. Furthermore, the paragraph had failed WP:VERIFY statements; my copy of Savage 2013 does not mention the station being near the Gali Batu Depot. I have added the origin of the station's name in the details section, but modified it slightly per the newspaper article it is cited to and Savage 2013. Regarding POJ and Peng'im, this is still a topic that I am currently discussing with other SG editors. I think the status quo is that POJ and Peng'im shouldn't be added for the station's Chinese name, but other users' mileage may very. If there is need for further discussion, I think WT:SG may be the venue to do so (courtesy ping to Warpswitch, who may possibly be interested in this discussion).

Oh, thanks for letting me know and for fact-checking the source.
Regarding POJ and other relevant romanizations, could you point me to the WT:SG thread? I am interested to see what the discussion has been so far since I feel it is certainly relevant to many Singaporean names, such as this one in particular, and anyway Chinese romanizations are a standard part of virtually all English Wikipedia pages with Chinese writing (I assume this convention is to help those who cannot read Chinese). For this page specifically, I agree it shouldn't be added directly to the station's Chinese name (as LTA provides no official romanization for MRT Chinese names), but it would be taking away from the article's informativeness to not include it somewhere in the body.

(Procedural reply) @Icepinner FYI, this topic has already been discussed at WT:SG#Adding Hokkien and other "dialect" romanisations to MRT station name pages, which both of the other involved editors in this thread previously participated in. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 08:40, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
Yes, if I may quote the conclusion of the discussion as @paper9oll put it:
"An important distinction and/or nuance to make here is that the MRT station name itself has no published Min Nan romanisation and therefore should not have one added to the infobox. However, where the station is named after a place or person with a verifiable Min Nan origin, that context can and should be reflected in an etymology or history section. ...
This approach would provide readers with the historical and/or linguistic context at issue here, while still staying within policy."
Which is the same stance I believe I have represented here. Danielbunchie (talk) 10:56, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
