Atlin, British Columbia → Atlin – Although Atlin Lake is widely known, the town is the primarytopic for this name, which per Canadian disambiguation standards should have no comma-province disambiguation. Skookum1 (talk) 05:06, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose. No proof that there is a primary topic and Canadian disambiguation standards don't override the need to prove that there is a primary topic especially with a dab page at the main namespace. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:32, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- Well I'll see if I can winnow some google cites for you but it will be hard because of the town being on the lake and the District and other titles named for the town; all are intertwined. But there are lots of examples where a town/city/jurisdiction is the primary topic over the lake or river it's named after - Ontario vs Lake Ontario, Erie over Lake Erie, Michigan over Lake Michigan, Winnipeg over Lake Winnipeg and on a minor scale, Dawson Creek also (where the creek is unlikely to ever have an article).......and don't tell me OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - those are major precedents and serve as an example of existing conventions for PRIMARYTOPICS of this kind. Atlin is the only sizeable settlement (such as it is) in a corner of BC that's larger than West Virginia and other states, when someone says "I'm going to Atlin" they mean the town, though they wind up being at the lake too, and historically it's very high profile (during the Klondike Gold Rush, if you search the NYT archive, they called it "Atlin, Alaska. They weren't talking about the lake.Skookum1 (talk) 14:41, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
- note today's RM for Talk:Dease Lake, British Columbia#Requested move which is of the same kind of issue, as is Cassiar, British Columbia#Requested move though not about a lake. I'm considering Williams Lake and Campbell River for the same reasons.Skookum1 (talk) 14:47, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
