Zurich, Friesland → Zurich, Netherlands – Per longtime WP convention, we disambiguate with "Netherlands" unless there are multiple such places within the Netherlands. If there are multiple places, we use provinces then municipalities. Both provinces and municipalities are local government in the Netherlands. gidonb (talk) 15:07, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~oppose~~ per WP:PLACEDAB —blindlynx (talk) 20:37, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
PLACEDAB seems to say the opposite: "Places are often disambiguated by the country in which they lie, if this is sufficient" and "If using the country name would still lead to ambiguity, use the name of a smaller administrative division (such as a state or province) instead."

fair enough —blindlynx (talk) 19:36, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom and PLACEDAB and WP:RECOGNIZE. - Station1 (talk) 20:45, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support even the Dutch Wikipedia uses the country to disambiguate and WP:PLACEDAB doesn't give any exceptions for the Netherlands to use the state so we use the country which is far more useful on the English Wikipedia. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:22, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 11:43, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
