Station layout diagrams
[edit]Hi NYCDOT, please note that station layout diagrams like you added in this edit have been depreciated and should not be added to articles. Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:49, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- Got it, sorry. NYCDOT (talk) 18:15, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
- Re your message on my talk page (replying here to keep the conversation in one place). For most stations (like East New York), a cited prose description of the station layout is sufficient. For complex layouts that are difficult to visualize from prose and photos, a plan view and/or RDT can be useful. You can see both of those on Readville station.

Any reason your improvements to the page removed any mention of the name being Confederate? Fastfoodfanatic (talk) 16:01, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Fastfoodfanatic -- While that fact is true, I felt it wasn't really relevant to the article. The station is specifically named after the street (which happens to unfortunately be named for a Confederate general), not the Confederate general himself. It's like that Home Alone 2 edit about Trump being the first impeached cast member from the movie. RC1739 (talk) 19:01, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- I mean, the Ashby and Bankhead MARTA station pages mention it. And there has been news coverage of petitions to rename Van Dorn Street. Fastfoodfanatic (talk) 19:43, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
- Taking a quick look at the pages for Ashby and Bankhead, it appears that there has been coverage by reputable sources about renaming the station after their streets have been renamed already...I haven't been able to find anything similar related to the renaming of Van Dorn Street station, nor has Van Dorn Street itself been renamed.
