Adam Benjamin Metro Center → Gary Metro Center – Per WP:COMMONNAME WMSR (talk) 14:24, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose at this time - a well-known search engine shows c4,300 'hits' for "Gary Metro Center," but c8,000 'hits' for "Adam Benjamin Metro Center," indicating that "ABMC" is the preferred name at this time. This could change and we should not automatically oppose moves like this if they are appropriate. Cheers, Bigturtle (talk) 14:45, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Note the South Shore Line's usage: [1]. "Gary Metro Center" is shown on the map, but "Adam Benjamin Metro Center" is mentioned along with the address. On the GPTC home page they refer to the "Adam Benjamin Metro Center." The actual common name is probably just "Metro Center"; NICTD qualifies it as Gary so that people know where the station is; such qualification is unnecessary for local services in Gary. This is similar to the situation in William F. Walsh Regional Transportation Center, where the building is mainly notable because of the intercity rail service which uses it, but the building was named by local authorities, not by Amtrak. See also Louise M. Slaughter Rochester Station, where the official name was adopted by Amtrak but makes navigating to the article worse instead of better. There should probably be a broader conversation about when to use these official or vanity names, especially if they're out of step with common usage. Mackensen (talk) 11:33, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

nail down an opening date

Lots of sources, even the GPTC, think that this thing opened in 1984, but that contemporary citation from 1985 is the only thing I've found from the period and suggests otherwise. Does anyone have any more sources on this, especially contemporary? I may have read somewhere that the platform was installed in 1984 with the el structure and then the station building added the following year, but also i may well have just imagined that. -MJ (talk) 19:58, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
