Long Beach station (LIRR) → Long Beach station – The disambiguating parenthetical is redundant since this is the only station with the name "Long Beach station." OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 06:11, 29 January 2025 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). -- Dane ^talk 18:44, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What do you propose to do with the disambiguation page? And is it clear to readers not from the NYC area that there is a primary topic? With the upcoming LA Olympics, we might expect the station in Long Beach, CA to receive some traffic. Even as it currently stands, the Downtown Long Beach CA station article gets significantly more views than the LIRR station (although not so much to be considered for primary topic). older ≠ wiser 14:35, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. To most people, Long Beach is in California. The addition of "Downtown" doesn't mean it's not known as Long Beach. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:30, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose — Long Beach currently redirects to Long Beach, California, and the article for Long Beach, California currently receives significantly more views than Long Beach, New York (53K vs. 8K over the past 30 days). The parenthetical helps clarify that this station is in New York, not California. Musashi1600 (talk) 08:49, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
