Nominator's rationale: Rename all to SYSTEM Line FOO stations. There are several railway systems that use "Line A/B/C/etc." designations (see Line A, Line B and Line C for disambiguation specific to these three lines). Renaming these categories would disambiguate the category names and enable the other systems' stations to be similarly categorized. Slambo (Speak) 17:53, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: Per WP:OVERLAPCAT and KISS. I believe an "odonym" is the name for a specific street but this category is being used to categorize types of streets when we already have a separate category for that purpose. Also, the main article is a redirect and the word is unnecessarily obscure compared to the target category.RevelationDirect (talk) 12:37, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support as roughly analogous. We wouldn't really have an article on a common street name that does not exhibit a certain type, as that probably wouldn't be notable. Thus, the type category should be able to contain all the possible contents. SFB 13:02, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nominator. Rcsprinter123 (drone) @ 13:34, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Odonym (literally "way-name") is not a common word. An editor may have chosen it to avoid semantics over the differneces between a street, a road, a lane, and a way. UK usage usually uses "street" for a road in a built up area, but I think thius is a case where US usage may be allowed to prevail worldwide, since there is no obvious comprehensive term available in UK, etc. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:05, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: this is a category page for a little town in upstate New York that is barely a stub of an article. Something really weird here. Quis separabit? 05:44, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
