Manchester Interchange → Manchester Airport High Speed railway station – I haven't seen any evidence of it being called 'Manchester Interchange' and is always referred to as Manchester Airport however to avoid confusion I propose it should be called Manchester Airport High Speed railway station. If anyone can provide evidence it is called Manchester Interchange please provide links or references. The HS2 website also refers to it as Manchester Airport and so does gov.uk and the original hs2 documents. [1][2][3]MainLine45 (talk) 08:34, 15 May 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

I haven't seen any evidence of it being called 'Manchester Airport High Speed' either. We do not speculate: please provide links or references. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:17, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. The proposed name makes no sense. "Manchester Airport High Speed" isn't a proper name, but part of a descriptive phrase. I think the nom is unclear on what capitalisation exists for and how it is used. Furthermore, "I haven't seen any evidence of it being called 'Manchester Interchange'" simply indicates that the nom did not actually look; the very first source cited in this article [4] has that exact name written quite large on it. Furthermore, the bulk of the sources are writing in generic descriptive language ("a new station at Manchester airport", "London to Manchester services", "the route from Crewe to Manchester with new stations at Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport", "The staton at Manchester Airport will have ...", "A spur from the main line serves a new station at Manchester Airport", etc.). Zero of them capitalize "high speed" as a descriptor (which should be "high-speed" anyway; WP, like other academic writing, hyphenates compound modifiers). One, a pamphlet about future construction plans, seems to treat the exact phrase "Manchester Airport High Speed Station" as a proper name, so that's a potentially viable article title also. But we would not use it, per WP:CONCISE, if Manchester Interchange gets the job done; both are attested in RS, neither are overwhelmingly frequent (WP:COMMONNAME), so use the short one. Further, that pamphlet cites HS2 Ltd as its only source, but the whitepapers and such we're citing, from the same entity, do not use this long phrase in them at all, so the authors of the pamphlet may have simply made it up on-the-fly (we certainly have no evidence to contrary). Finally, this planned station doesn't exist yet (maybe never will), so there's a potential WP:CRYSTAL issue about this article even being here.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  20:02, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose "I haven't seen any evidence of it being called 'Manchester Interchange'" is enough for me to Oppose, Also opposing per COMMONNAME. –Davey2010Talk 18:42, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
