Espanya station → Plaça d'Espanya station – Correct name. – Mllturro (talk) 07:45, 25 September 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. Natg 19 (talk) 05:13, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Philg88 ^♦talk 14:48, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Catalan Wikipedia uses ca:Estació d'Espanya and refers to the station as both "Espanya" and "Barcelona - Pl. Espanya". Seems worth a full RM to me, not clear the current name is wrong. SnowFire (talk) 23:05, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support. One thing that often gets forgotten is that article titles should reflect the commonly-used names, which are not necessarily the same as "official" ones (which are not always stable and consistent). In this case the operator of the Metro lines (metro station names everywhere are nearly always abbreviated to one word where possible) calls it "Espanya", but FGC calls it "Plaça (or Pl.) d'Espanya", as shown in their 2013 annual report and the city council's guide. I find it difficult to find independent reliable sources which refer to the station in general rather than either the FGC or Metro lines, but I do see that the non-reliable [1] and [2] both refer to the "Plaça Espanya" metro station. In the absence of overwhelming evidence either way, I would agree that the natural name is "Plaça d'Espanya station", i.e. the station at Plaça d'Espanya.
