Talk:Chernyshkovsky

This dab

With regards to Inwind's edit overriding this page on the grounds that the district would be linked from an article about the urban-type settlement anyway, I see the point, but disagree on policy grounds. As per WP:TWODABS, a disambiguation page containing just two entries is not necessary only when "there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, and one is the primary topic". In this case, we have a district called "Chernyshkovsky" and an urban-type settlement in that district with the same name. A reader typing "Chernyshkovsky" into a search box is just as likely to search for one as s/he is for another, hence neither topic can be considered primary, hence the disambiguation. Indeed, a reader might not even know that "Chernyshkovsky" may refer to distinct entities—a fact which is easy to overlook when one of those entities is featured more prominently than the other.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); January 31, 2013; 15:37 (UTC)

As all Russian Districts are called "..." District there are no two articles with the same name which would justify a disamb. The principle is established practise around the world, for example Kalmar / Kalmar Municipality. Inwind (talk) 15:57, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are mixing what they are called in Wikipedia vs. what their name is. The district's name is not "Chernyshkovsky District", it is "Chernyshkovsky". The article is titled "Chernyshkovsky District" because that's the naming convention for this type of administrative divisions. Note how the first line of every dab starts as "XXX may refer to", and of course the district "may be referred to" as simply "Chernyshkovsky"! Couple that with the fact that neither of the two topics is primary, and here's a textbook example of a valid disambiguation page with only two entries. I can't comment on Kalmar because I'm unfamiliar with that subject, but I would assume that out of six possible meanings the city is the primary topic, which is fine by me. I do not, however, see, how you justify the urban-type settlement to be more "primary" than the district.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); January 31, 2013; 16:12 (UTC)
