[edit] Name disambiguation?

Maya site and the Guatemalan municipality should be disambiguated; I suggest "Nebaj" for the Maya site and "Santa Maria Nebaj" for the municipality, but other suggestions are welcome. -- Infrogmation 14:59, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Ah, there is a modern Guatemalan town of the same name. Hm. A disambiguation page at "Nebaj"? -- Infrogmation 15:02, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Not sure if you mean that there's another locality in Guatemala also called Nebaj, apart from the settlement of Nebaj/Santa Maria Nebaj nearby to the Maya site of Nebaj. If not, we could go with your original proposal, and have Nebaj for the site and Santa Maria Nebaj for the nearby village, with top dab texts on each.

If there's a third alternative, then I guess Nebaj would be a dab, and we can put the site at Nebaj (Maya site).--cjllw | TALK 00:48, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

For the moment, I've moved the stub on the contemporary settlement to Santa Maria Nebaj, and started a stub on the Maya site here at Nebaj. If another Nebaj turns up we can consider the dab option.--cjllw | TALK 06:31, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
