Making this a disambiguation page

[edit]

Is the French commune really the primary topic of Mamey in English? I don't see any results for the commune in the first few pages of Google results (which are overwhelmingly about the fruits). There are a massive number of France related incoming links, but most of them appear to due to a template; there are also a substantial number of incoming links regarding Latin American topics, which certainly intend the fruit. This article is little more than a stub, and the disambiguating hatnotes contain more text than the body of the article. I'd like move this page to Mamey, Meurthe-et-Moselle, and use the Mamey article as a disambiguation for the commune and the fruits.Plantdrew (talk) 23:27, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is also Mamey (Guaynabo), in Puerto Rico, and redirects exist from Mameyes and Mameyes Landslide. The last two would have to be in a "See also" section to placate the deletionists, but a disambiguation page sounds good, and perhaps this one can be renamed to, perhaps Mamey (Meurthe-et-Moselle). I'm not sure how geographic page names are normally handled, though, perhaps that isn't the approved form. Richmond, for example, has pages such as Richmond, Virginia and Richmond, London.

Per WP:FRCOM#Naming and WP:PLACE#Disambiguation, Mamey, Meurthe-et-Moselle is the preferred form. Good catching the Puerto Rican Mamey (with 10x the population of the French Mamey). The French Mamey is certainly not the primary topic. Moving immediately.Plantdrew (talk) 19:11, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
