Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

• Oppose per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (places): "Places are often disambiguated by the country in which they lie, if this is sufficient. However, when tags are required for places in Argentina (except province capitals that are named like the province), Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, India, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Federated States of Micronesia, South Africa or the United States, use the name of the state, province, territory, region (Italy only) or county (Ireland only), or department (France only) if the place lies within a single such entity." Also, I have moved the Canadian-related article to a qualifier of (Nunavut). -- JHunterJ (talk) 10:58, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Discussion

• "Australia" is certainly a better disambiguator, as it is recognizable to more readers than "Northern Territory." There are only two Wiki topics for "Bathurst Island", and this one is more notable. It got 5,200 page views in the last 90 days, compared to 3,300 for the Canadian island. So it should be primary, per WP:TWODABS. Kauffner (talk) 02:09, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
  • That's not enough to show primarity. There should be a disambiguation page. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 05:42, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
