Stanley, WisconsinStanley, Chippewa County, Wisconsin – While this city appears slightly more prominent than Stanley, Barron County, Wisconsin, I wouldn't say it's a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Stanley, Clark County, Winsconsin can be a redirect, but I think the proposed name is simplest, given the majority of the city is in Chippewa. --Relisted.

Opposed Stanley, Wisconsin is located in two different Wisconsin counties-Chippewa and Clark so the proposed move would have an inaccurate title. The category-People from Stanley, Wisconsin is directly link to the People from Chippewa County, Wisconsin and People from Clark County, Wisconsin categories. You also have to take into account the name convention format. This would be confusing to the reader. Thank you-RFD (talk) 11:29, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note-I checked the Stanley, Wisconsin website: Stanley, Wisconsin. The website lists Stanley, Wisconsin being in Chippewa and Clark Counties, Thanks-RFD (talk) 13:37, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - (city) and (town) are unacceptable disambiguators in my opinion. In a lot of US States, there is zero distinction between the two (aside from what a city chooses to call itself) so many of our readers won't really see that as a difference.
