– Per USGS's Geographic Names Information System, both towns are called "Dogtown": Number One, Number Two - "Dog Town" is apparently a typo, and nobody calls the one in DeKalb County that. -- Thanks, Alfie. ^{talk to me | contribs} 04:31, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support, clearly confusing. And as the nom says does appear to be a typo. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:27, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Dogtown appears to be the primary name of both, and having the names at such similar titles is confusing regardless. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 14:01, 8 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support per the nominator. ╠╣uw [talk] 10:58, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Supoort—Seems reasonable to me, on its face, but shouldn't the latter become a DAB page, given that we don't have any indication that one of them should be the PRIMARY? I see that the cross-referencing hatnotes are already in place, but would need a bit of tweaking. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:53, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I neglected to mention that I'll put in a dab page after the moves! -- Thanks, Alfie. ^{talk to me | contribs} 16:00, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first name looks like that someone knew Arabic. "kalb" is Arabic for "dog". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:50, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
