– Updated WP:MOSPHIL now allows <city name> only format for Philippine towns. Per precedent with RM's earlier this year such as those of Talk:Cagdianao and Talk:Baliuag. And also the following bold moves made by some Wikipedians before (not exhaustive):

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this subsection 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. Judging by the relative popularity of the two main articles, Orani, Bataan is a winner by a wide margin, but the pageviews for the dab page itself are so low – barely one hit each day – that any attempt to infer actual usage is likely to get lost in the statistical noise. More to the point, I don't see a reason why the Philippine municipality should necessarily have more longer term significance than the Italian one (its higher population notwithstanding). Also, noting that I've added a few more entries to the dab, mostly minor (except for the "see also" entry for a major region of Algeria). – Uanfala (talk) 13:17, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose "Orani is" test that's what immediately says that removing "Bataan" won't help all readers. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:16, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Strong support. This is a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The Bataan article gets 96% of pageviews of the listed "Orani" topics. Sending readers to the dab page would be a disservice. Dohn joe (talk) 14:10, 20 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. The long-term pageviews [1] show the Philippines place to be significantly more popular. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 15:51, 21 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
