This is a more
WP:COMMONNAME for the station than the wiki-creation of "Reedham railway station (Norfolk)".

Oppose. We usually put disambiguation brackets at the end of article names, not in the middle. This isn't stated explicitly in
WP:NCDAB, but I've never seen disambiguation done in the way proposed, so for consistency I think we should stick with the current article name. — Mr. Stradivarius♪ talk ♪ 14:21, 22 February 2014 (UTC)reply
Comment: Per
WP:NATURAL, if the
WP:COMMONNAME incorporates a disambiguating term, this should be used in preference to the default parenthetical disambiguation at the end of an article name.

Oppose. Parenthetical disambiguation should go at the end of the article name.

Support. Wikipedia's disambiguation goes at the end of the name, but this is not Wikipedia's disambiguation it is Network Rail's (or possibly National Rail's?) that coincidentally also uses parentheses. The common name of the station is "Reedham" but that is ambiguous so we look to the official name, "Reedham (Norfolk)".

Support per Thryduulf. The common name "Reedham" is ambiguous, so the we fall back to the second-most widely used name, which is unambiguous. MRSC and others make an objection which applies to disambiguators added by Wikipedia, but this one is not a Wikipedia invention. --
