Rename?

Should Chapelcross nuclear power station be renamed as Chapelcross nuclear power plant?

Power plants in the US are called "power plants", but power stations in the UK are called "power stations". The term "power plant" would be an aberration in the UK. Per WP:ENGVAR, WP does not pursue "consistency" across naming issue like this and it does favour use of the locally-appropriate name.

This has two now been renamed as "power plant", despite lack of prior discussion and also after being reverted, contrary to WP:BRD. I invite Trackteur to make some case for the renaming to "power plant". Andy Dingley (talk) 15:00, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Nuclear power plant and List of nuclear reactors, the number of occurrences for this appellation is very clear. Trackteur (talk) 11:56, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See the title and text of Category:Nuclear power stations in the United Kingdom, of all its subcategories, and of all the members of those subcategories. The only "power plant" is this recently renamed Chapelcross. This could also, though less conveniently, be determined by examining the articles linked from List of nuclear reactors#United Kingdom. Note also that in that article, the subheading is "Power station reactors" throughout. I notice that you have renamed other articles to "power plant" e.g. [1] where you edit-warred over the text rather than open a discussion.[2] [3]. NebY (talk) 12:59, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You have checked the number of occurrences of this page List of nuclear reactors ?. It's a generic term that applies not only to United Kingdom. Trackteur (talk) 13:14, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really propose to rename all the categories and articles in the Category:Nuclear power stations tree of categories, including for example all the members of the 42 subcategories of Category:Nuclear power stations by country‎, on the basis of a count of occurrences in the text of List of nuclear reactors? You'll need a well-advertised RM for that and you'll need to present a stronger case.

Wikipedia articles cannot be used to support edits or changes to other articles. In any case nowhere in that article does it describe any UK based nuclear power station as a 'nuclear power plant' 86.153.133.193 (talk) 17:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely not. The name of the place is "Chapelcross nuclear power station". All nuclear powerstations in the UK are called 'power station' (and all non nuclear facilities called 'power stations'. Googling 'Chapelcross nuclear power station' brings up 13,700 hits. Googling 'Chapelcross nuclear power plant' brings up none, so there would appear to be no supporting references for the change.

Once someone objected to the article being moved to a name never applied to the establishment in the UK, Trackteur had no right to restore the incorrect name without seeking a consensus here first. 86.153.133.193 (talk) 17:02, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it is "nuclear power station" in UK common usage. Here is an example document by local government, using "Chapelcross Nuclear Power Station" in the title of a document. Rwendland (talk) 14:34, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing that Trackteur had

returned to editing
had edited Koeberg Nuclear Power Station to change [[nuclear power plant|nuclear power station]] to [[nuclear power station]][4]
had not further engaged with the discussion there, in which only only Trackteur defended their move in the face of similar arguments to those presented here but from a different group of editors
had not attempted to interfere with the restoration of that article title as Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, and
had only raised exactly the same arguments in both cases,

and given that there is a clear consensus here, I restored this article to Chapelcross nuclear power station. I am amazed to see that Trackteur has for the third time and without any further explanation, moved the article to Chapelcross nuclear power plant. I hope we are not seeing a return to the WP:BATTLEGROUND behaviour that left Trackteur blocked last March. @Trackteur: please restore this article to Chapelcross nuclear power station per the above discussion and consensus.
