Talk:Vardø (town)#Requested move 4 April 2025

I am interested in knowing if there were Sami Boarding Schools in Vardo (town). 216.183.69.71 (talk) 23:20, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

{{requested move/dated|Vardø, Norway}}

:Vardø (town) → {{no redirect|Vardø, Norway}} – The current title is inconsistent and should be moved to Vardø, Norway. 2600:1700:6180:6290:E1BC:304B:79DF:C9EB (talk) 22:20, 4 April 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPath^talk 10:25, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

• Oppose. The disambiguator Norway should only be used if Vardø in Norway may be confused with places in other countries named Vardø - of which there is none. Geschichte (talk) 10:55, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

::Which part of that entry are you referring to? The case Wolin (town) seems most similar to this one, but that would suggest that the page should not be moved. 84.251.164.143 (talk) 18:29, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::Sorry, but that is not a good comparison. Wollin is a town on an Island of the name. Vardø is not Servite et contribuere (talk) 18:37, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::Vardø is a town within a municipality with the same name. "Norway" does nothing to disambiguate the two, but "town" does. 84.251.164.143 (talk) 18:39, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::Vardø is almost certainly the namesake of the Municipality. The article is already called Vardø Municipality. Servite et contribuere (talk) 18:49, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::Sorry, I don't understand your argument. Vardø Municipality is fine, it is unambiguous and natural as a title. But Vardø, Norway could refer to either the municipality or the town within it, so it cannot be used as a title for the town. 84.251.164.143 (talk) 19:02, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::The argument I am making is Vardø is almost certainly the namesake of the Municipality it is in. Other examples of this: Blacktown, Hunters Hill, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Parramatta, Randwick and Woollahra are all the namesake of their Local Government Area Servite et contribuere (talk) 19:16, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::::That would depend on whether there is a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, but no argument for primary topic has been made. And if a primary topic indeed exists, then the article should be moved to Vardø to avoid unnecessary disambiguation. 84.251.164.143 (talk) 19:24, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::That can be done. But let's wait for this RM to be closed before starting a new one Servite et contribuere (talk) 19:25, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

::::::::::The primary topic affects the result here, and should be determined in order to close this. Norwegian WPs have :no:Vardø (municipality), but :nn:Vardø (town), so I suspect there is no primary topic. 84.251.164.143 (talk) 19:32, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
