Requested move 20 August 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved and redirect Baran, Somalia to the disambiguation page — Amakuru (talk) 06:22, 28 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

~~Baran’ → Baran, Sool~~ Baran, Somalia → Baran, Sool – There is a similarly named place called Baran/Badhan in Sanaag. Not disambiguating by nametagging the province may confuse readers. 88.104.44.117 (talk) 05:27, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think a bit more information may be required here. The other article referred to is presumably Badhan, Sanaag. A few initial observations:
- This article was initially created for a town in Belarus but was a duplicate of an existing article.
- ~~I suspect the apostrophe is just a typo.~~
- The second source cited refers to this as Baaraan Baaraan and gives a variety of alternative names.
However, given the ~~apparent typo and~~ other uses listed at Baran I think a page move of some kind will be necessary. PC78 (talk) 07:48, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Moved to Baran, Somalia for the time being, clearly a typo. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:14, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I may have called it wrong on the typo; Baran’ has one incoming link from List of cities and largest towns in Belarus where various other names in the "Russian" column end in an apostrophe. Google Maps displays it with an apostrophe too. With regards to the Somali town I think the proposed title is probably fine, Baran, Somalia is ambiguous and should redirect to the dab page.

I support moving Baran, Somalia to Baran, Sool and creating a three-entry disambiguation page for Baran (2 in Somalia, one in Belarus). I also suggest a redirect from Baran, Sanaag to Badhan, Sanaag. Pichpich (talk) 18:59, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Baran is the one already. Staszek Lem (talk)
I re-redirected Baran’ to where it belongs: only Belarusian place may be occasionally spelt with diacritics. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
