Hayborough, South AustraliaHayborough – Unique name not requiring disambiguation. Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Australia does not require disambiguation and many places in Australia are at their undisambiguated names - e.g. Category:Towns in South Australia. The article has been undisambigated to its unique name here and recently re-disambiguated here. Mattinbgn (talk) 19:42, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as the user who moved the article back to its original place (Hayborough, South Australia). It is clear that the majority of articles in the category still comply with the first clause of the naming convention "Most Australian settlement articles are at Town, State/Territory;" Most of the others I've looked at recently were moved from that form in March-April last year by a Phillipino wikipedian who appears to be holding the same discussion at present with respect to naming of Phillipino barangays. It's somewhat arbitrary whether to regard the comma Statename convention as disambiguation or as fully qualified names. I doubt you'd post a letter from very far away to someone at Hayborough without either a state name or a postcode-beginning-with-5 and expect it to arrive promptly. I've recently resumed my patrol of SA places articles, ensuring that both Placename and Placename, South Australia can lead a reader or editor to the article they are looking for either directly (including redirects) or through hatnotes and disambig pages. I've left most of the ones I found had been moved last year, not sure why I decided to move this one in particular. --Scott Davis Talk 05:20, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
