[edit] Requested move

Brixen, Italy → Brixen – "Brixen" is currently a disambiguation with history, while "Brixen, Italy" is the primary meaning of "Brixen". Once moved, the disambiguation can be mentioned at the top of the article. Olessi 20:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

• Support I agree with Olessi, sounds good to me. Gryffindor 23:14, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose The page should be moved to Bressanone-Brixen, following the convention of towns in the Province of Bolzano-Bozen (BZ). Trying to wash out Italy is getting old, maybe even for my pal Gryffindor? Yeah, right. Taalo 00:10, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Oppose, as per Taalo.--Panarjedde 00:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
• Support. And no double-barrelled names (unless it's a double city like Sekondi-Takoradi). It's one or the other, not both. -  AjaxSmack  07:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

The thing though AjaxSmack, is the unique character of this Province in Italy does in fact typically list the name with Italian-German. That should be ok, no? thanks. Taalo 05:21, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

To Taalo and Panarjedde, I want to point out that this is not a poll about whether to name it Brixen or Bressanone or Brixen-Bressanone or Bressanone-Brixen. It is simply about whether or not to include ", Italy" in the title. Brixen-Bressanone was moved to Brixen, Italy because Brixen has edit history that prevented a simple article move. ", Italy" was added to disambiguate, but the city is the primary meaning of "Brixen"; Brixen im Thale is already disambiguated by its very title. This requested move is NOT about whether the name should be Brixen or Bressanone, but about "Brixen" being the primary topic and not needing a disambiguation. Please assume good faith.

Ok, I think I'm following the lingo. But, can we not suggest that the page be moved to Bressanone-Brixen, as the name of the town, ala Bolzano-Bozen, etc.? Excuse me if I have not gotten your entire point. Taalo 05:20, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Brixen, Italy → Bressanone-Brixen – In the Province of Bolzano/Bozen, being that it is Italian-German, every town is listed with both names. This is similar to French Canada. Any road sign will show Bolzano-Bozen. It is Italy, so it is Italian name-German name. It is just an order of names, it doesn't mean either is less! But we should be correct, above all. All the towns in Bolzano/Bozen are listed this way, and should be listed this way. Look, trying to call it Brixen, Italy, is obviously trying to portray Brixen as the English name also. This is completely false and definitely brings out suspicions of POV. Taalo 04:07, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose. It's Brixen or Bressanone, not both. See Helsinki and Luxembourg (city) for similar cases and save hyphens for cities that actually use them like Sekondi-Takoradi. The fact that the proposed title is currently redlinked shows how obscure it is. (I know somebody will go and create a redirect as soon as I post this...And why couldn't this have waited a couple of days until the above RM was concluded?) -  AjaxSmack  19:20, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
