724:-standing consensus has been that if an article was created with the short name, it could be left there, but articles with the state as a qualifying term in the title should not be moved. A small number of users refuse to accept this and occasionally pop up, move a few articles or attempt to make an innocuous tweak to the guideline to bolster their next attempt. --

847:
Alonnah, Tasmania, is not like
Ramsholt. Towns of the colonies were usually named after European places or people, or from something taken from the local native language, and so it was always standard to introduce them with the state, nation, province or some form of region name. And this continues.

have been disregarded dishonestly by many. Sydney, Australia, is a worldwide famous city and is not a good example. Lesser known towns in
Australia are always comma disambiguated except in local sources. Australian places were very consistent and recognisable for a long time until people ignore
626:
reader considered and started sneaky moves to remove comma state. They should all be moved back. I challenge again to all supporting, what reader advantage to the minimalistsâ title give? Why do you not care for consistency, consistency with other places, and consistency with the real world? â
644:
I note the discussion you cite was closed as hung in 2010. How much weight are we supposed to continue to give it? If you are still dissatisfied with the guidelines and the examples they give, i suggest that if there is no intervening discussion, sufficient time has now passed to have a new
744:. Clear case of unnecessary disambiguation which is misleading because it wrongly implies that there are other comparably notable topics named "Alonnah" when there are not. Long-standing consensus that favors leaving this here is misguided. Besides, NCAUST explicitly allows it. --
501:, despite the eloquent arguments from those who wish to remove state or country names, and however they much try, as the creator of this talk page, I support keeping a referent to where it might be, regardless of where that fits with supporters of removal of the qualifying term.
756:
NCAUST does not advocate this change, but for maintaining the status quo, per the original article writer. PRECISE says nothing here. The current is the COMMONNANE, CONSISTENT with standard town and city naming across all the
English speaking ex colonies.
542:; "the name of a city or town may be used alone if the place is the primary or only topic for that name" and "titles should unambiguously define the topical scope of the article, but should be no more precise than that". The example
326:
Time to close this debate, and we see no general agreement below to rename and drop the qualifier. As is usual with a no-consensus outcome, editors may try again in a few months to garner consensus for this title change.
484:, Australian places are almost always introduced with comma state, the exceptions being only local stuff. PRIMARYREDIRECTs have a low threshold for creation that doesnât equate to a good reason to minimise the title. â
622:
568:. Nobody introduces âSydney, NSWâ like they do for country towns, where the state is an integral part of the character. Proponents for change need IAR, for the status quo see TITLECHANGES. â

Given that there is now a central discussion on changing the guidelines, which currently looks like it will succeed, I have changed my vote to wait for the outcome of that discussion.

Wikiedia doesn't mandate disambiguation. That said
