Talk:Port Pirie railway station (Mary Elie Street)

Proposal to combine articles

[edit]

I have been looking at the 4 articles on Port Pirie's stations. Each is rather brief and there are some inaccuracies (or a reference does not actually provide the key point made).

Unless a reader knows something about the subject already, it's difficult to comprehend the way in which passenger stations changed in Port Pirie.

I think a more comprehensive presentation would result from having one article dealing with all of them (with redirects from Ellen Street, Mary Elie Street, Solomontown x 2, and Coonamia station). More photos, a collapsed set of track diagrams (from NRM) and some more references would bolster it.

Comments, anyone? If none, I'll do the work. SCHolar44 (talk) 04:51, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No thanks - they're different stations, on different sites, at different times, and mashing them into one article would just be confusing (as attempts at merging distinct topics usually wind up). They just all need a bit of work: there's no reason those new references, track diagrams, photos, etc., couldn't go into the existing articles.
