This article has been renamed from Van Cortlandt Parkâ242nd Street (IRT BroadwayâSeventh Avenue Line) to Van Cortlandt Park-242nd Street (IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue Line) as the result of a move request. -- Stemonitis 06:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
You're right, Larry; I shouldn't have used the discussion of a move for technical reasons to bring in a different issue. Sorry about that. -- NE2 08:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
This article was boldly moved against consensus to Van Cortlandt Parkâ242nd Street (IRT BroadwayâSeventh Avenue Line) on March 3, 2012 by TwinsMetsFan. The station naming convention prescribes spaces around endashes. A discussion was started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation#Update naming convention? to see if consensus existed to change the naming convention to non-spaced endashes. That discussion has gone stale and there was no consensus for a change that would affect hundreds of article titles. I have moved page back to the spaced endashes per the naming convention.

My "fetish" for this page is simple: since I expanded it extensively for WP:NRHP, I put it on my watchlist. Indeed, if as you say there are hundreds of WP:NYCPT articles that would be affected, then indeed they all should be renamedâa housekeeping task of the sort many members of this community have willingly done with many categories of articles in the past when policy changes demanded it.
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:South Ferry â Whitehall Street (New York City Subway) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. â RMCD bot 04:14, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
Random question: why wasn't this subway line extended to the Yonkers border?? â Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.35.24.42 ( talk) 11:59, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

I find it curious that the style of this station is called Victorian Gothic. The style is more Early Italian Renaissance. â Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitruviuspolio ( talk ⢠contribs) 04:11, 6 June 2019 (UTC)
