Just a heads up, citations like "New Paltz Independent (New Paltz, NY). 1869-11-11." are not complete. I would suggest including page numbers, titles, authors, etc, else someone may come by and quick-fail the article for incomplete citations. -- Admrboltz ( talk) 23:43, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
Here is another commercial article masquerading as an encyclopedic entry...the intro
La Stazione is a restaurant and former train station in New Paltz, New York. Originally built in 1870, it was rebuilt after a 1907 fire and closed as a station in 1958.
Within three words after the name of the business we learn this is a restaurant that was once a railway station. If this had any justifiability aside from being a puff piece regarding the aforementioned establishment called La Stazione the article would have had in fact been called New Paltz railroad station.
Its notability lies within the scope of being a former railroad station that had been converted to being a business not that it is now a named restaurant that operates from a former railway station.
A rail enthusiast would not see how "La Stazione is a restaurant " has any bearing on the article being about a railway station. In fact when people search for La Stazione, a restaurant, a search engine will show this article. Not the railway station. I am going to slap a Move tag on this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.147.56.201 ( talk) 20:35, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
I do wonder about the notability of the article - it's certainly not notable as an article about a restaurant. It may also not be as an article about a railway station. It might be better as part of the rail trail article - perhaps as much as 3 paragraphs worth. As far as the anon goes - yes, I'll call him cynical, but he seems to be asking whether the author has a conflict of interest, see WP:COI. Nobody can force this info out of anybody else, but I think it would be useful for other editors to know the author's particular interest in this. Smallbones ( talk) 05:09, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

La Stazione— Throughout the last discussion (
#Call me cynical...but), many intimations were made about my intentions regarding the naming of this article; claims were made that merely mentioning that the building is currently a restaurant is somehow promotional. At no point did anyone counter my argument that the article's name, per
WP:COMMONNAME, is La Stazione. No explanation was given by the editor who moved the page and closed the request. I'd like the article moved back to its original name.

Just because few people commented on either move doesn't mean that calling this after the business currently in residence, rather than the building, makes any sense. It's the busienss that is La stazione, not the building. Who gives a hooey about some restaurant? It could change seventeen times and the BUILDING would still be notable. How about going over to see Carol at Elting Memorial Library and see if she agrees that the building's COMMONNAME is the restaurtants? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.15.37.75 ( talk) 05:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
All stations in the same county are named as the historical station name instead of their current use. See National Register of Historic Places listings in Ulster County, New York. I vote YES to rename the article! • Sbmeirow • Talk • 00:31, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
I've put in the following under external links - but think it should be incorporated into the article, as I'd guess it is the original source for much of the material
I'd like to see this redone as a contributing building of the New Paltz Downtown Historic District on the NRHP. I'd guess that there are about 10 other buildings in downtown New Paltz that are just as significant, so I do have to wonder what is all the fuss about this building (as expressed much earlier about 3 paragraphs above) I would be in favor of changing the name - this just isn't notable as a restaurant and the article is 90% about the building.

I'm with the above poster who expressed amusement that this was a featured article. On what grounds is this article so notable that it should be featured? When I saw it, my estimation of the credibility of WP was immediately lowered a few notches. It seemed obvious to me that titling the feature "La Stazione" implied that this article was about the restaurant, not the train station. The first sentence seemed to confirm that. Why has it not been changed? Does WP now advertise eateries? Mccue3g ( talk) 21:03, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
