This is a strange case - signs at ground level say "5 Avenue-Bryant Park" or "42 St-Bryant Park", but obviously refer to all the services. [1] Does it differ based on which platforms the entrance leads directly to? How separate are the stations - is it a single long passageway? -- NE2 19:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Since Imdanumber1 needs an "exact comment that the articles should be split", here it is: this should be split. The title is a neologism and the stations are separate. -- NE2 20:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
PRECISION's 1st 'graph is essentially devoted to ruling out article titles like
42nd Street–Fifth Avenue–Bryant Park (New York City Subway), where e.g.
42nd Street–Fifth Avenue–Bryant Park is not in use. (Not to mention virtually any use of "(New York City Subway)", since "New York" or "subway" will almost always do the job if any Dab'n at all is needed.) This is policy, and even if
WikiProject Trains discussion concluded over-Dab'g was a great idea ({{
Naming conventions}} hints that they haven't, BTW), such titles would be revertible.

The page has attracted info that doesn't belong on a Dab, and it's not particularly important for that page to play the Dab'n role of getting users from the little used phrase jumble of words -- note how many Web pages with significantly different content actually use that phrase jumble of words:
and mostly WP-derived. It may actually ameliorate the conflict over the perhaps not completely resolved 2-stations-or-1 controversy to do it both ways, by replacing the bad Dab with a small article: there clearly were two stations at Bryant Park, and in many people's minds (at the least, those who never use the tunnel) there still are two. There is also overlap between the two articles, reflecting material that is not specific to either and would be kept better updated if centralized. The slight need for navigation from the clumsy title to one or the other "station" can still be met, and the duplicated info centralized, by using the supposed Dab's title as as a Rdr to a short article "Bryant Park subway complex", linking to the two stations, describing the tunnel between them, its contents, the former transfer policy, and perhaps more.

I'm not quite sure about the point of this article. There is one on the Fifth Ave. station and one on the Sixth Ave. station to which it is linked. Do we really need this? ScottyBerg ( talk) 02:40, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
I wonder if some formatting ace might be able to address the white space problem. I've tried several alternatives, but none work when previewed. ScottyBerg ( talk) 12:23, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:163rd Street–Amsterdam Avenue (IND Eighth Avenue Line) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 18:17, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius: Here is a 2013 easement agreement for the station entrance at the SW corner of 6th/42nd. Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 22:32, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
@ Epicgenius Besides some more sourcing in station layout, is there anything else you feel needs to be done before this can be nominated? Kew Gardens 613 ( talk) 01:33, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
