The result of the move request was: Not moved - Consensus is that when the city name alone is sufficient to disambiguate, no additional information is needed. (non-admin closure) В²C 04:59, 1 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]


– These articles' names should follow the naming of the location they're in. HandsomeFella (talk) 21:28, 20 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - sufficiently disambiguated per WP:NCGEO while remaining WP:CONCISE as possible. See Main Street (disambiguation) for several examples of using (City) not (City, State). -- Netoholic @ 02:19, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, there are no examples in the Main Street link you provided that support your view. (Note: Some of the articles have been moved since the dab page was last updated, so I have edited it to reflect that.) For instance, Main Street in Kansas City, Missouri, is at Main Street (Kansas City, Missouri), without there being an article on Main Street (Kansas City, Kansas). Main Street (Kansas City) is a redirect to Main Street (Kansas City, Missouri), created from a move more than six years ago, citing WP:USPLACE.
    Sure, Main Street in Los Angeles is at Main Street (Los Angeles), but that's because Los Angeles is undabbed. In fact, for every Main Street there with only a city dab, the city article itself is undabbed.
    Also, it isn't very logical considering the following theoretical example. There are several cities named Portland in the U.S. Let's pretend that only one of them has a (notable) street named Main Street. Should the article on that street be named Main Street (Portland) only then? Which Portland? If the cities need a state dab, I'm sure you agree that the Main Street article would need a city-state-dab.

*Oppose. We don't need this. If a person wants to know about Forest Lawn in Long Beach, California, it is pretty obvious at present to type out the query without adding the state. There is no Forest Lawn in Long Beach, New York. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 17:22, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • There is no article on Main Street in Kansas City, Kansas, either. Yet the article Main Street (Kansas City, Missouri) is where it is. HandsomeFella (talk) 19:29, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per all the above. 111.68.115.165 (talk) 03:57, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
