– Consistent form of disambiguation with other islands in the group and per guidelines at WP:PLACEDAB. Turnagra (talk) 23:11, 3 August 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). 2pou (talk) 23:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Waqar💬 07:16, 14 August 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Per WP:NC(), we add parenthetical disambiguation
when none of the other solutions lead to an optimal article title
. But there is another solution here: comma-separated disambiguation. Per the article titles policy,With place names, if the disambiguating term is a higher-level administrative division
, commas are frequently used. As such, I think that this deserves discussion, as parenthetical disambiguation might be suboptimal here. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 02:56, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Listing comment: The above comments apply to all four technical requests. @Turnagra and Red-tailed hawk: courtesy pings regarding my opening of this discussion over the queried technical request. -2pou (talk) 23:24, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support. Commas are used for populated places, but geographic features generally take parenthetical disambiguation per WP:PLACEDAB: "With natural features, the tag normally appears in parentheses, as in Eagle River (Colorado). Specific national conventions may take precedence though." Station1 (talk) 06:10, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose. But I can argue this both ways. See for example King Island, a DAB. I don't think we are entirely consistent, but regard the comma version as being a sort of natural disambiguation, and if so it should be preferred. WP:NCDAB and WP:TITLEDAB both list natural disambiguation before comma, and parenthetical third. I think this is significant. But it probably should be clarified. Andrewa (talk) 07:53, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I follow - there's only one article on the King Island page that uses a comma, and that's a suburb (ie. a populated place) rather than an actual island. All of the islands, which are more applicable here, use parenthetical disambiguation. As for a comma being natural, all of the disambiguation pages make a clear distinction between natural and comma disambiguation, and WP:PLACEDAB specifies that parenthetical disambiguation should be used for natural features - making it more suitable here than commas.

- Oppose unless clearly standard which it doesn't seem to be. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:19, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, can you clarify what you mean? This move would be making it standard for this group of islands by matching to the form used by the rest of them. Turnagra (talk) 19:14, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
