Talk:Railway stations in Newmarket

message: It says it was closed to passenger traffic in 1879 but then that it was used for race day traffic (presumably not all horses) until 1954. What was race day traffic? Presumably passengers— but if it means exclusively for horse boxes etc we should say so. SimonTrew (talk) 06:42, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  When did the old station close to passengers? 

message: With the above move discussion now closed, I agree that the current page about the historical stations should stay as is. Now, I am asking that the information about the currently operational station, including services to it, be split into an article with the proposed target title, so that it could fit the WP:UKSTATION conventions. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 16:03, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Split 

message: A recent discussion on Talk:Railway stations in Cromer involving ,  and  has reached consensus to split the single article into individual station articles that follow WP:UKSTATION conventions. Can we say the same for Newmarket, considering the town is much larger than Cromer and its stations likely have a longer history than that of Cromer? ««« SOME GADGET GEEK »»» (talk) 23:36, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

text: Support as previously. Lamberhurst (talk) 13:36, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

text: Against as previously - I fear the complexity between the stations and their changing use could be lost in separating them out. I appreciate its non-standard. I would support retaining this and having separate articles.--Davidvaughanwells (talk) 11:35, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, I will retain this and create separate articles. Mock wurzel soup (talk) 19:46, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I have created a new article for Newmarket (Suffolk) railway station, the one that is still in use.  Does anybody want separate articles for the two closed stations or is Railway stations in Newmarket sufficient for these? Mock wurzel soup (talk) 21:38, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  So now we have duplication. Please revert until you have consensus. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:04, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought we had consensus.  I have now removed the duplicate text from Railway stations in Newmarket.  We now have one article for the working station, Newmarket (Suffolk) railway station and one historical article for the two closed stations, Railway stations in Newmarket, which we could rename Closed railway stations in Newmarket. I think this is a reasonable compromise but, if you have a strong objection, you can revert my edits. Mock wurzel soup (talk) 18:03, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Two support one against? No way is that consensus. Please restore the articles to how they were before, instead of leaving disjoint bits here and there. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:13, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody was against it. Davidvaughanwells said "I would support retaining this and having separate articles" and this is what I did.  You, Redrose64, are the only person who has objected. If you want it changed back then you do it. Wikipedia is "the encyclopedia anyone can edit".

replies: text: What?? They wrote "Against as previously" - what part of that suggests that they were not against it? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:24, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I took Davidvaughanwells' statement to mean that, although he was against it, he would support it provided that the original article was retained as well, and that is what I did. Redrose64 has apparently put a different interpretation on it but only Davidvaughanwells can say what he actually meant. Mock wurzel soup (talk) 01:51, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

text: I would rather people spent time improving the poor quality of a lot of individual railway station articles rather than splitting up existing articles. Other than a few Wikipedia contributors I doubt anyone out there really cares. Currently I am working on improving the history section of the Great Eastern Railway and Southend East railway station. Help welcomed! For the record  sums up my view on this (not that it particularly counts) and I will write no further on this matter.Davidvaughanwells (talk) 14:46, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: So, are there any objections if I create new articles for Newmarket (1848 station) and Newmarket Warren Hill station and re-write Railway stations in Newmarket to "weave them into a single narrative". Mock wurzel soup (talk) 12:02, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
