Requested move 1 June 2020
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: There is clear consensus to move away from the current title. Opinions are divided but I think there is a slight preference for "West Sydney Airport line", so that's what I'm going to implement. Feel free to start another RM if a different title is preferred.

Sydney Metro Greater West → Western Sydney Airport Line – The new official name of the line is Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport as per the line website on Sydney Metro. However, I prefer the alternative name also given on the website, which is Western Sydney Airport Line. I have no issues with either name. Marcnut1996 (talk) 04:33, 1 June 2020 (UTC)—Relisting.

- Support Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport which is used throughout the website. The other only gets very casual use.Fleet Lists (talk) 05:02, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- Move to West Sydney Airport line: Most of the move per nominator's rationale; use lower-case "line" per MOS:CAPS, WP:NCCAPS, and innumerable previous RMs of "line", "station", etc., articles. Nom is correct that we do not need to add the name of the rail system (the "Sydney Metro" prefix here). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 12:01, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
Support Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport. Official name, consistent with Sydney Metro West, basing an article title on a URL seems particularly silly - even for Wikipedia. Oh, DrPizza! (talk) 00:52, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
- At the bottom and also under the Projects and progress tab at the top of the Sydney Metro website, the line is referred to as "Western Sydney Airport line". The name was not based off the URL. Marcnut1996 (talk) 04:47, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- I see things are a bit different/clearer on the desktop site. So "Western Sydney Airport line" is used when the Sydney Metro prefix is dropped - it seems "line" is added for this project as a rather clumsy method of disambiguating between the metro line and the project to build the airport itself. The proposed name is still inconsistent with Wikipedia's other articles about the metro construction projects. Oh, DrPizza! (talk) 08:05, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Result of Move
@Buidhe:It is noted that move was to West Sydney Airport Line instead of Western Sydney Airport Line which I think was the preferred option and is the more correct one. Should a further move take place? Fleet Lists (talk) 23:33, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
- Fleet Lists, That was an error on my part. I meant Western Sydney Airport line—SMcCandlish is correct that there is a general consensus not to capitalize "line", so we should avoid WP:LOCALCONSENSUS on that. buidhe 23:35, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

Western Sydney Airport line → Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport – The current name of the article is inconsistent with the naming convention established for existing Sydney Metro articles (Sydney Metro Northwest; Sydney Metro City & Southwest; Sydney Metro West); the construction project is named Sydney Metro [location], it's the service pattern that is known as Metro [x] Line. The proposed name is also the closest to the name used in press releases and the media "Sydney Metro – Western Sydney Airport". – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 03:38, 27 January 2021 (UTC) —Relisting.

- Edit: The aim is that a stronger consensus for either option will be found in a new discussion. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 02:40, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
- Relisting comment - Whilst Requested Move discussions do not have a minimum participation, given the last RM discussion was <12 months ago and formed a consensus for the current title, I am reluctant to close this RM without the emergence of a stronger consensus to move. --Jack Frost (talk) 09:05, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
