Category talk:Gas stations in Ontario
Move to its original name at Category:Gas stations in Ontario, as the common term in Canada is 'gas station', not 'petrol station'. The category was moved without discussion in 2015, ostensibly for "harmonization, to match with upper categories". Mindmatrix 21:49, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
w:Filling station
A filling station is a facility that sells fuel and engine lubricants for motor vehicles. The most common fuels sold in the 2010s are gasoline (gasoline or gas in the U.S. and Canada, generally petrol elsewhere) and diesel fuel. A filling station that sells only electric energy is also known as a charging station, while a typical filling station can also be known as a fuelling station, garage (South Africa and United Kingdom), gasbar (Canada), gas station (United States and Canada), gasoline stand (Japan), petrol pump or petrol bunk (India), petrol garage, petrol station (Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and United Kingdom), service station (Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom), a services (United Kingdom),[1] or servo (Australia).

- Support, leaving this page as a redirect. Note that the parent category here is Category:Gas stations in Canada by province or territory, but the cat above that is Category:Petrol stations in Canada: shouldn't that be renamed along with these? --Auntof6 (talk) 06:32, 24 January 2017 (UTC)
- Support: From what I can gather, Canadians prefer the terms "gas/gasoline" and "gas station" over "petrol" and "petrol station". A lot of relevant signage I've seen just perusing images here on the Commons backs up this claim as well. As such, I support making "Gas stations in Ontario" the primary category name.
