Splitting proposal

The article clearly covers two distinct subjects:

  • The stairs leading into the station.
  • The short documentary film.

Apart from the name, there is almost no connection between these two subjects. The film is not about the steps, and the steps do not feature in the film.

I therefore propose that the article be split into two: Waverley Steps and Waverley Steps (film) respectively.

Alternatively, the information from the current article concerning the stairs could be transferred to Waverley station, leaving the current article to focus on the film.

Please comment. Mike Marchmont (talk) 15:57, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
