St Michael le Belfrey, York → St Michael le Belfrey – There is no other church called "St Michael le Belfrey"; therefore it is unnecessary to disambiguate the article by adding "York". Zacwill16 (talk) 22:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 11:15, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Oppose: It is common practice in the Anglican Church to name parish churches both after the Saint and after the place where the church is - e.g. http://www.achurchnearyou.com/york-st-michael-le-belfrey/. The fact that the church is in York is an essential part of its title, and no-one (unless actually in York) would refer to the church without the qualification 'York', even if it is the only one.
