Bethungra, New South Wales → Bethungra, Junee Shire – DAB from Bethungra, Canterbury which is also in NSW, see Bethungra. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:44, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Towns in Australia are always identified by their name and state, not by their shire, not by their LGA. Introducing by something other than state will make it sound like not a town or suburb, but some other thing, such as a building. Bethungra, Canterbury is not in the format always used for a town or suburb, so by the format it is immediately recognized as not a town or suburb. It is probably something like a named building. This proposal would be serious detrimental to consistency and recognisability. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:09, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per SmokeyJoe, though I understand the motivation for this nom. The solution might be to rename the homestead so it's not disambiguated like a town? Perhaps Bethungra (homestead)? --В²C ☎ 21:30, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That wouldn't resolve the ambiguity issue with this title. If (as apparently argued by SmokeyJoe) adding the state is so common that it can be considered an alternative term then WP:SMALLDETAILS may apply. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:48, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is no ambiguity. However, the article Bethungra, Canterbury might be better titled Bethungra (house). It is just a 122 year old house. Also, this title may read to some to mis-imply that it is located in Canterbury. I have stripped redundant forked content from Bethungra, Canterbury, the house is not directly significant to the history of Canterbury, New South Wales. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 22:10, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is ambiguity since the hose is located in New South Wales and while the Canterbury in Kent is better known, there doesn't seem to be a Bethungra in it (or any other Canterbury). While recognizably and confusion may be a factor with respect to better known topics than the qualifier added, it isn't unacceptable. Newton, Surrey isn't in Surrey and Queens Park, Ipswich isn't in Ipswich. A quick look at Category:Houses in Sydney shows that most are disambiguated by the settlement their in so the current disambiguation for the house appears to be correct (I can't find a NC). Crouch, Swale (talk) 22:24, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think this town must be left alone, and ideally the other article should have been put at Bethungra (house). I think this 3-4 bedroom house is not a homestead, and it is a stretch to call it "historic". Whatever, the point is that this proposal is opposed. Towns belong at Town, State. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:52, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're right on the house vs homestead issue, SmokeyJoe. I got the homestead description from the dab page. It might even be just a shack. --В²C ☎ 02:25, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can look at it on google street view. It is a house. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:26, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
