Fangliao, Pingtung → Fangliao – No need for the disambiguation. Szqecs (talk) 13:37, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support - per Google Books only subject. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:19, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Scrapping Pingtung confuses people. Also, Fangliao may look like a person.--George Ho (talk) 20:25, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support No need to disambiguate. Don't see how it can confuse people if it's the only subject with this name. Number 5 7 20:05, 12 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose for now. Is there no applicable naming convention? Category:Townships in Pingtung County shows that almost all similar articles have the county name included, whether or not there is another page with the same title. Dekimasuよ! 00:36, 16 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Per WP:CRITERIA, this is Unnecessary Disambiguation. --В²C ☎ 00:08, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose. As close to a line call as I've ever seen, but either way we should create a relevant naming convention and apply to other similar articles. Andrewa (talk) 13:11, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- There is already a naming convention. It's called WP:PRECISION. Be precise but only as precise as necessary. — AjaxSmack 23:30, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support. No need for disambiguation as Fangliao already redirects to the town. I'm also mystified by the various oppose rationales ("looks like a person"?). The lack of a country-specific naming convention should simply mean a default to Wikipedia policy, i.e. WP:PRECISION/WP:CRITERIA. — AjaxSmack 23:30, 4 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
