Badger Mountain → Badger Mountain, Douglas County, Washington—move this page to Badger Mountain, Douglas County, Washington and turn Badger Mountain into a disambiguation page (like Rattlesnake Mountain). There are 16 summits similarly named in the US including two in Washington State. --Oh Snap (talk) 00:34, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Survey

• Oppose In order to justify adding that much precision to a title (being concise in titles is highly valued in WP), you need to show actual conflict with other uses of the name in question by actual articles in Wikipedia. I see no such basis provided in this request. --Born2cycle (talk) 22:01, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Discussion

Rattlesnake Mountain is a set index article, not a disambiguation page. If none of the other 16 summits have a Wikipedia article, I would suggest that this article can remain here and the set index article (if needed) can be created at List of mountains named Badger Mountain or List of Badger Mountains. --JHunterJ (talk) 19:03, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Actally unless one of the other Badger Mountains is significantly more notable, there is no need to disambiguate this page at all. The other one in Washington can simply be Badger Mountain (mountain range), where "mountain range" is the range it's in, or plateau if that applies; counties are not normally used for mountain disambiguations. The first article in any series of like-named article does not need disambiguation; only later articles do, and in the case where something else may be more important a change to a disambiguated form may be called for. Compare Firesteel River and Firesteel River (British Columbia) although numerous other examples come to mind (and in that case the province/state is the disambiguation because there are no others; if there were another in BC its disambiguation would be, say, Firesteel River (Columbia River), i.e. if that third Firesteel were a tributary of the Columbia.....Skookum1 (talk) 19:19, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

And NB if this one does come to need disambiguation, say because Badger Mountain in West Virginia or wherever is more important, the disambiguation would be Badger Mountain (Columbia Plateau).Skookum1 (talk) 19:21, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I partially agree with JHunterJ's comments. notability or importance is much too subjective and very localised. i think Badger Mountain should be used as an index, and this peak should be disambiguated according to the guidelines set forth in Wikiproject Mountains naming conventions, which is: Badger Mountain (''political division''). --emerson7 18:55, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
