Metro (Indonesia) → Metro, Lampung – It was the original title of this page, which was moved with no valid reason. "Metro (Indonesia)" is still very ambiguous as a title. In Indonesia, "metro" could mean a lot of things, from department store, television channel, to urban agglomeration. The natural disambiguation should be "City, Province" or "City, State", like Ambon, Maluku or Nashville, Tennessee. Bluesatellite (talk) 10:23, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Although per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Indonesia we use the country, not the state by default, which is treated as artificial, not natural disambiguation. The title does indeed suggest its about metro stations in general in Indonesia. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:06, 17 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal is a modest improvement but could be mistaken for Metro Lampung (?). Better would be Metro (city) which would clearly disambiguate it from other entries at the Metro disambiguation page and matches a format used for Indonesian (Bengkulu [city]) and other (Cork [city]) cases. — AjaxSmack 02:26, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Metro (city) would be even better so I support that to. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:35, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe something similar for Police, Poland? I'll propose that shortly. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:40, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, all Google results of "Metro Lampung" clearly refer to this city. Also, Bengkulu (city) is quite different case, because the city and the province share the same name, hence it's really weird to use Bengkulu, Bengkulu. Bluesatellite (talk) 01:11, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
