I'm not sure about this one. While I agree that stations that have been in relatively continuous use should be merged, there's 50 years between the two Drury stations. There's not a lot of continuity between their histories, their intended use, or even their locations. --

Rotokauri railway station has information on the station that opened in 2021 and the one that closed in 1971 in the same article. The station location for Rotokauri has also changed slightly over time, but in this case, the new Drury and new Rotokauri are on the same physical railway line as its respective historic station and aren't drastically far apart. You will find examples of similar station articles in Australia and elsewhere too.

Also, if anything, if the merge doesn't go ahead, I will move
Drury railway station (future) to
Drury railway station per
WP:COMMONNAME. There's no need for the disambiguation. Most readers would want to know about the current station, and on the off chance they want to know about the disused station (if the article is still separate), then a simple disambiguation from the current station's article would suffice.

Proposal seems reasonable to me, too, (i.e., support) but if "recently involved/active editors" means someone who added a stub template to one of the articles six years ago (almost to the day!), then you may need to refine your definition!

If no further objections are made, I will go ahead with the merges from about a week’s time from the time of proposal.
