Offically, the station name is Newport (Gwent) or Newport (South Wales), not just Newport. Is there a reason for this expect for it's large/busier that Newport (essex)? Thanks Glam04023706 18:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
There are many stations around the world called Newport and this will also help to disambiguate between any in the UK. Simply south ( talk) 21:43, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Support - If nothing else it will differentiate between the stations in Gwent and Essex. Newport (Essex) may only be a relatively small village, however the station is still fairly well used. TicketMan - Talk - contribs 23:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Support - move this page and turn the resultant redirect into a disambiguation. See Bramley railway station, Millbrook railway station and Whitchurch railway station for similar examples. – Tivedshambo (talk) 00:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Support, but I think the move should be to "Newport (Wales) railway station": calling it "Newport (Gwent)" will cause loads of trouble, and is outdated anyway. -- RFBailey ( talk) 03:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Neutral but if it is moved, I strongly agree that Gwent is outdated and shouldn't be used. Also Newport (Newport) is justsilly. I think Newport (South Wales) is the best option as that term is used by rail companies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Welshleprechaun ( talk • contribs) 17:54, 24 January 2008
Comment, Agree with the argument for the need for a disambiguation page. Also agree that Newport (Gwent) is outdated. To my knowledge, there is only one Newport in Wales and Newport (South Wales) railway station could imply there is another Newport railway station in Wales. I would favour a move to Newport (Wales) railway station. Sloman ( talk) 18:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Comment: As long as Newport, Pembrokeshire doesn't have a railway station then there should be no problem Welshleprechaun ( talk) 18:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Oppose - this is clearly the predominant use of the name, disambiguation beyond the existing hatnote is unnecessary. 90.203.45.168 ( talk) 20:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
If the parenthetical is not official and a disambiguation is approved, then the proper title at Wikipedia would be Newport railway station (Gwent), Newport railway station (Wales), &c. with the disambiguator at the end as is the case with Newport railway station (IoWCR Isle of Wight) now. — AjaxSmack 16:26, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
This is disambiguation for the sake of it! This is by far the busiest of any of the stations with nearly 2 million passengers per annum, 10 times the passengers of the Essex one. The IoWCR one is defunct and the Melbourne one seems to have no passenger figures for it at all! Reverting move. Owain ( talk) 10:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Newport High Street railway station → Newport railway station — Per WP:DAB, clearly the "primary use" of the name — 81.110.106.169 ( talk) 19:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia's naming conventions.The Wikipedia:DAB says that the Primary Use of the article doesn't need disambiguation in the title but if there is a lot of discussion over if there is a "Primary Use" and what it is, then all should have disambiguation. Anywikiuser ( talk) 17:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Not moved--no consensus that this particular meaning is the clear primary one, so leave generic DAB page at the simple title. DMacks ( talk) 18:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry but the vandalism here is unilaterally moving a page to a title that nobody has agreed on. Where is this alleged consensus? WP:RM shows no such consensus. The above discussion shows no such consensus. As I have already pointed out, your source both contradicts itself and contradicts the other sources on this page. The nationalrail.co.uk page is NOT a list of official station names. Owain ( talk) 09:10, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
See the article on Stratford station to see what I mean. It has the same sort of explanation as this page. I.e. Common name "Stratford" or "Stratford Regional" then an explanation that National Rail enquiries uses "Stratford (London)" to disambiguate it form Stratford-upon-Avon. The page itself is kept at the common name in keeping with Wikipedia practice. Owain ( talk) 09:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
This is a nonsense. The consensus was to return this page to its original name Newport railway station. Because Network Rail choose to use "(South Wales)" on the rail enquiries web site does not make that the official name! This goes against not only the nationalrail.co.uk page (that states" Newport Railway Station" as the address), but also Wikipedia policies - namely Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names) and Wikipedia:Disambiguation. This is the primary topic and its common name is Newport railway station. That should be the name of the article. Owain ( talk) 15:43, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
