– No need for prefectural disambiguation. Using searches through Special:PrefixIndex, there appears no other topics under the exact titles of these 5 uniquely-named Yamagata cities.

Higashine (city) has garnered 140 viewers as opposed to 5 viewers of Higashine Station (as of 07/09/2020, Manila time) - obvious WP:PRIMARYTOPIC
Kaminoyama (as a redirect) points to the article of the city itself. Three other articles bearing this name (with their readers as of 5:20 p.m. of 07/09, Manila time), are Kaminoyama Domain (233), Kaminoyama Castle (47), and Kaminoyama-Onsen Station (23). Nevertheless, even summing them up to yield 93 viewers, the viewership of the article of the city still exceeds them - 150. Another evidence of PRIMARYTOPIC.
Obanazawa - no other topics with this name exist according to Special:PrefIndex.
Sagae - 106 readers vs. 4 readers for Sagae Station
Tsuruoka - 452 readers vs. the sum of readers for Tsuruoka Domain (108), Tsuruoka National College of Technology (17), Tsuruoka Stadium (1), and Tsuruoka Station (28) = 154 readers

The readership stats are based on the pages' page information details. The use of readership stats is based on the opinion of @Sitta kah: in an old RM discussion at Talk:Zamboanga City. Such usage of stats is, according to Sitta kah, a great way of determining the PRIMARYTOPIC.

I'm unsure about some other cities in Yamagata Prefecture, but I'm certain that Yamagata, Yamagata and Tendo, Yamagata fail <cityname> only format, lest Yamagata, Yamagata's notability would exceed the notability of its mother prefecture and another city of the same name in Japan, though MOS-Japan in practice tends to consider prefectures as "more important" than its cities, with the exception of internationally-notable cities like Osaka and Hiroshima.

This RM is also in accordance to the general consensus at "Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles/Archive 27#RfC: Mandatory disambiguation for Japanese places?," which agrees that uniquely-named Japanese cities do not meed provincial disambiguation.

Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this subsection with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Support all the base names already redirect to the qualified names and most of the other articles mentioned are actually subtopics (such as the stations) so WP:DABCONCEPT would apply. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
