SBaker43 has requested to move Category:Foster Falls, Tennessee to Category:Foster Falls (Tennessee) on the basis of consistency. Themightyquill (talk) 11:48, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I actually think the comma is more consistent here. It's a place in Tennessee, not a kind of Tennessee. - Themightyquill (talk) 11:49, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
In my experience, both syntaxes for "sub-places" are very common here. I do prefer the comma per Themightyquill, though. BMacZero (talk) 16:42, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What consistency? ;) I also generally prefer the comma for geographical disambiguation. I do see parentheses used quite often for ‘non-populated places’ (meaning hydrographic features, mountains, &c.) however. This is sometimes convenient, when a name is used for both a geographic feature and a nearby town. It would be nice to establish a convention, but I won’t hold my breath … I also note that in some languages or styles the parentheses are standard for populated places as well, French-Canadian “Montréal (Québec)” for example.—Odysseus1479 (talk) 23:20, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

stale discussion.  Keep both variants are massively used in Commons. If we ever have consensus for same type of renamings, the bots do the job --Estopedist1 (talk) 13:03, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]


No consensus to move. -- Themightyquill (talk) 16:46, 10 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
