Talk:Gas station

Gas station

I suggest:

moving this article to gas station, and making it a short general article.
splitting up the various brands of gas stations into their own articles.

I disagree. Most Filling stations have the same general features and only contain minor differences when compared to one another. I feel like having an article for each of them seems a bit unnecessary, especially considering there are so many smaller chains. If there were one or two massive chains, then it might be a good idea, but having so many articles for minor businesses that could just as easily be condensed into one article seems a bit bloated and inefficient to me.

This article isn't particularly hard to navigate either, at least in my opinion. -ThinkDock1721

I think Ikip doesn't mean having article about each gas station, but about each franchise, i.e., one for Fossoil, one for Gas 2 Go and then one for Thunder Gas, one for Ruby Gas and one for Gas N More, similar how we have an article for Church and separate article for named churches/cemeratires (currently the Holy Grace Church, Holy Light Baptist Church (~~for some reason not included in the page as of writing~~) and Holy Haven Cemetary (actually, this one has a spelling mistake in it in-game), but there are more named one that doesn't have their own page yet) or self storage (Self storage (Muldraugh), Secure Storage, Stor-A-Max (not created as of writing yet) and U-Store It). I recently followed the same with police station and Louisville Police Department and Detention Services and I am thinking of doing the same treatment to fire departments.

As far as the naming of the filling station goes, we had the discussion with Vaileasys about it some time ago, whether to go with the gas station following the American English being preferred. Back then we decided to leave it as-is as it's the same as Wikipedia:Filling station, though Wikipedia has no preference for one or another so a gas station may be more fitting for the game setting. I'll reach to Vaileasys for his thoughts on both matter as well. —Faalagorn ☎/✓ 20:05, 8 October 2023 (BST)

After a brief talk with Vaileasys, seems the plan to separate the general article and separate franchises got the green flag, so I guess you are free to move Ikip! —Faalagorn ☎/✓ 01:11, 9 October 2023 (BST)

When you put it like that, I suppose you're right. With all the other smaller businesses having a page, it would make sense. Ikip, if you don't get around to doing this first, I'll go ahead and reorganize it in some time. No need to rush. :)-ThinkDock1721
