St. Brendan's Hospital (Grangegorman) → St. Brendan's Hospital, Grangegorman – Move other redirect to maintain dab style with other Dublin hospitals – CalzGuy (talk) 12:25, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:48, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

@CalzGuy: I think St. Brendan's Hospital, Dublin is better option. What do you think? Fuortu (talk) 12:35, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
@Fuortu: Yup. Doh! It's obvious really. I can do that myself CalzGuy (talk) 12:39, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Doh! - No i can't. Yes please. Move that way please. CalzGuy (talk) 12:40, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
Actually, the current title uses the correct method to disambiguate. Apologies. Fuortu (talk) 13:09, 1 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

I believe that the current location is out of sync with the other disambiguated hospitals in Dublin and Ireland. Very few use parenthesised disambiguation. Most favour a simple comma style - see WP:ATDAB - 2. Comma-separated disambiguation. With place names, if the disambiguating term is a higher-level administrative division, it is often separated using a comma instead Also see Category:Health Service Executive hospitals for what seems to be the largest hospital cat in Ireland. So my preference would be for St. Brendan's Hospital, Dublin, although St. Brendan's Hospital, Grangegorman might fit WP:Commonname slightly better, as most Dubs would know it as such.

After reading similar RM discussions, I found that it is OK to use both forms, but it varies by country. Generally, Commonwealth countries (except Canada) use comma disambiguation and US uses parentheses to disambiguate buildings. I think this should be moved to "St. Brendan's Hospital, Dublin" because other hospitals in Dublin use comma disambiguation.
