– Consistent form of disambiguation with other islands in the group and per guidelines at WP:PLACEDAB. Turnagra (talk) 23:11, 3 August 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). 2pou (talk) 23:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NC(), we add parenthetical disambiguation when none of the other solutions lead to an optimal article title. But there is another solution here: comma-separated disambiguation. Per the article titles policy, With place names, if the disambiguating term is a higher-level administrative division, commas are frequently used. As such, I think that this deserves discussion, as parenthetical disambiguation might be suboptimal here. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:56, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Listing comment: The above comments apply to all four technical requests. @Turnagra and Red-tailed hawk: courtesy pings regarding my opening of this discussion over the queried technical request. -2pou (talk) 23:24, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Commas are used for populated places, but geographic features generally take parenthetical disambiguation per WP:PLACEDAB: "With natural features, the tag normally appears in parentheses, as in Eagle River (Colorado). Specific national conventions may take precedence though." Station1 (talk) 06:10, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
