Merge - I'm not convinced that there is any real need for a separate
Chūō Rapid Line page, and the direction in which the creator and only real editor is taking that page is not at all clear to me. So, yes, I agree that merging it with
Chūō Main Line seems sensible. --

Keep - Although the present status of the rapid line article is poor, the subject of the article enjoys a distinct notability as a commuter railway in Tokyo. It is rather strange if the orange trains do not have a separate article and are only described together with trains in Nagoya area. --

Keep - The Chuo Main Line and the Chuo Rapid line are two totally different lines. The main line (Tachikawa-Nagoya) is colored blue and the rapid line (Kanda-Yoyogi and Shinjuku-Tachikawa) orange.

Keep - It is completely different to the Rapid Line. The Rapid Line is a service that runs in Tokyo, and the Main Line is a long local line that goes to Nagoya. It is signposted, timetabled and everything differently.

Chuo rapid line information
Information covered in the
Chuo Rapid Line article, like the rapid line trains (rapid, commuter rapid, special rapid etc...) should be removed from the stopping table. There is no reason to have this data twice.

The
Chūō Rapid Line is a mere part of operation of the Chūō Main Line between Tokyo and Takao or Ōtsuki. This main line article generally describes the relationship among the services (local, rapid service and limited express trains). Information like that Suidōbashi Station is served by local trains but is skipped by rapid trains is not within the proper scope of the rapid line article. (Yes, it can describe it. But it is improper if such information about Suidōbashi Station only appears on the rapid line article.) So, I believe the stopping pattern of rapid trains should be kept. However, if most people think the table is too complicated, I have an idea of replacing the existing four columns for the rapid trains with one integrated column. --

That would seem more reasonable to me. Also, it doesn't seem necessary to me to have 3 columns describing the local service as well. One column would suffice with small notes specifing that some trains enter the Tozai line at Nakano and that some Chuo-line (orange) trains run on the Sobu tracks in the early morning and late night. Also, limited express information seems to be lacking from the table. It seems to me that a 3-column layout would be best (local-rapid trains (with more detail on the Rapid line page)-limited express).
