The image File:Castle Hill Station Platform Proposed.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check
That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Oppose. A completely unhelpful suggestion. O, I might support the new words, and the capitals. Not sure. But who in the world could conceivably benefit from the loss of such immediately useful information as "Sydney" currently provides? Think about it. (No, stop. I said think about it. Don't give me legalisms or "primary topic". Think of the readers and their needs, all over the world.)
"North West railway line, Sydney" fails the Google test. It is not an official or a common name. See WP:COMMONNAME. North West Rail Link beats the current title on the Gnews test by 1630 to 1. ShipFan (talk) 00:09, 14 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

I agree with the requested move. It should be North West Rail Link or North West Rail Line. They are the two common forms that are used to describe the line in media coverage. I have never heard of the North West railway line, just Google it and see what comes up ... Nomenklatura44 (talk) 01:39, 9 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

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. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: Moved. Decision made without prejudice as to what the scope of the article should be, since editors seem uncertain as to what that is. The article might need to be expanded in scope, or the title might need to reflect a more restricted topic per comments by Gareth, but we need a dedicated discussion to determine what we want the article to be about. If editors decide that this article should be restricted to a section of the Sydney Metro Northwest, then it should be moved to an appropriate name to preserve the article history, and at least a stub for the full line should created at Sydney Metro Northwest. — kwami (talk) 19:19, 4 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - Sydney Metro Northwest covers the full route from Cudgegong Road to Chatswood, this article only covers the new Cudgegong Road to Epping section. I think the current structure of the Sydney Metro works fairly well:
Sydney Metro - overview article for the entire line/system
In the future, a new article for the entire Cudgegong Road - Bankstown line would be spun off from Sydney Metro once major planning commences on a second metro line - but that could be decades away.
If the scope of this article increases to cover the whole route from Cudgegong Road to Chatswood, what does that mean for the other articles? Should the ECRL article be merged into this one? If so, does that mean the Bankstown line article should be merged with the article for the Chatswood to Sydenham line? This would mean that we would end up with articles for the Sydney Metro Northwest and Sydney Metro City & Southwest. Once the entire line is up and running, this article split would be fairly arbitrary - it would just be based on the date the respective sections of the line opened as metro lines. If we add two new articles for the Sydney Metro Northwest and Sydney Metro City & Southwest to the existing group, then we end up with seven articles with a high degree of overlap between them. I also think those names will fade from view once the metro project has been completed. I accept that the current name of this article is somewhat ambiguous and outdated, but I think we need to keep the existing scope of the article. Perhaps we should redirect Sydney Metro Northwest and Sydney Metro City & SouthwesttoSydney Metro and rename North West Rail Link and Sydney Harbour Rail Tunnel to something consistent and clear in scope.

Gareth makes some valid points. However retaining the name North West Rail Link is in itself confusing as in stations we still say that each station is located on the North West Rail Link (which should be changed) but when looking up the website for the station concerned it states that the station is located on the Sydney Metro Northwest so it is the name currently being used by the powers that be, hence we should have an article by that name. There would be nothing to stop us saying in the article that it specifically covers the section from Epping to Cudgegong Road. If at a later date it is found that the stations from Epping to Chatswwod are also so defined we can expand the coverage by saying that it then also covers that section of the line which was previously known as the Epping to Chatswood railway line and that article would then become obsolete but that is premature now. I note that some changes to the article in the last few days which incorporated information about the Epping to Chatswood section were reverted today and I believe that under the current definition this was the right thing to do.Fleet Lists (talk) 08:24, 14 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
If you look at earlier Transport for NSW media releases this year, you will realise that they have referred North West Rail Link as the whole section from Cudgegong Road to Chatswood, including the Epping to Chatswood railway line. For example:
Inthis media release in May, this quote "From the end of the project (NWRL) at Chatswood" meant that the entire North West Rail Link project is the whole portion from Cudgegong Road to Chatswood.
I don't think it's fair to say that we've totally misunderstood what the NWRL is - the government changed the meaning of the name as it changed the scope of the project. This archived page describes the project as an extension of the CityRail network between Epping and Rouse Hill. The article reflects the former scope of the project - probably due to the existence of the separate ECRL article and the fact that this article is poorly maintained.
In the interest of full disclosure, it may be that the "North West Rail Link" actually comprises just the "new" (tunneled) rail route of the entire "Sydney Metro Northwest" line, in which case a separate article may be justified. But that's partially what this discussion is meant to figure out. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:30, 13 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
