[edit] Disambiguation

I would like to move this page to avoid confusion with other places with similar names (see Saint Mary's Bay).

Please comment on whether it belongs at Saint Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia or St. Mary's Bay, Nova Scotia. CarolGray 13:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

St. Mary's Bay → St. Marys Bay — Official spelling has no apostrophe according to National Resources Canada. Indefatigable 22:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Please could I suggest St. Marys Bay, Nova Scotia? - because of possible confusion with Saint Marys Bay, New Zealand which also doesn't have an apostrophe. CarolGray 12:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, after some reflection I think I may have nominated the wrong destination for the move, since there are likely several St. Marys Bays that will eventually have articles. I now think it should be moved to St. Marys Bay (Nova Scotia). The parentheses are appropriate because this bay is a geographical feature only: using the comma for disambiguation is only for municipalities, according to the naming conventions, though I'm having trouble locating exactly where that's stated at the moment.

I think you may mean Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) (unadopted). I would be happy with St. Marys Bay (Nova Scotia). CarolGray 18:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
