Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Shuanglin station” as tianjin Metro station. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2006, 2016, 2018—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 2006. The account is most persuasive where Shuanglin, station and Tianjin can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as tianjin Metro station. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5976279. Authority coordinates are 39.056, 117.286. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006, 2016 and 2018.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
