Sanyo Electric Railway Aboshi Line → Aboshi Line – per WP:CONCISE and WP:PRECISE, it is not necessary to express the full line name that shows this line is a part of the railway system. Sinsyuan✍️PJTW 03:33, 3 June 2026 (UTC) — Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 03:44, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

What about WP:COMMONNAME? XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 03:45, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

In my opinion, if there's no another line named "Aboshi Line", I'd like to omit the operator name. However, it is tricky that many third-party sources mention this line by adding operator name in front of this line. However, the railway official doesn't. It is embarassed to decide whether the current title is suitable for WP:COMMONNAME and even WP:NATDAB. (eg. this source shows SANYO railway "Aboshi Line", and this source (P.50) shows Sanyo Electric Railway operates...as well as its Aboshi Line...) Sinsyuan✍️PJTW 06:09, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
