King's Garden (Silwan) → Al-Bustan (East Jerusalem) – This is an article about Al-Bustan, a Palestinian neighbourhood in the Silwan area of East Jerusalem, that is subject to an attempted forced displacement by the Israeli authorities with the aim of creating a park named the "King's Garden" in homage to something biblical. Numerically "Al-Bustan+Silwan" draws 42,000 hits in a google search versus 1,500 hits for "King's Garden" + Silwan; however, the more obvious point to make is that simply planning to redevelop a location does not automatically make that place someplace else - that just makes it the name of a redevelopment scheme. As this report: "The "King's Garden" Plan in Al-Bustan" correctly phrases it - the 'King's Garden' would be better described as being IN Al-Bustan. B'Tselem calls the development plan 'a tourist park' in the Al-Bustan Neighbourhood [1]. Again, a development within an area does not that area rename. Instead, the logical semantic structuring of this (were we to structure it) would be: King's Garden (proposed development), Al-Bustan, Silwan, East Jerusalem, but Wikipedia is also not a crystal ball (WP:CRYSTALBALL), and we don't create articles about things that may or may not exist in the future.

Extended content

Shouldn't it be Al-Bustan (Silwan) ? Selfstudier (talk) 12:15, 27 June 2022 (UTC) Not sure on that count - I'm a bit sketchy on the location disambiguation rules, but Jerusalem is more recognizable than Silwan, so I thought it would make for a slightly more reader-friendly disambiguator. The other Al-Bustans are disambiguated at a country level, i.e.: Al Bustan, Oman, Al Bustan, Saudi Arabia and Al-Bustan, Syria, but that would probably cause more issues than it solves here. Again, there may well be a guideline on local district-level locations that says it needs to work upwards in more discrete increments - if so, happy to be pointed in the right direction. But ultimately, I'm actually fairly easy either way. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:25, 27 June 2022 (UTC) My reading of WP:PLACEDAB is that the general advice is start at the top (country) level, and work down from there if the country is still problematic for disambiguation. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:30, 27 June 2022 (UTC) At AB disambig, there was there a KG (Jeru) which I just changed to KG (hist). There are two relevant disambigs, KG disambig as well are you going to do anything with KG (hist)? Selfstudier (talk) 12:30, 27 June 2022 (UTC) Yes, that page should probably just be King's Garden (biblical place), since that article more than anything appears to speak to the biblical concept and its theory. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:37, 27 June 2022 (UTC) OK, well, I would prefer Silwan or on your alternate theory, Palestine -> East Jerusalem. Selfstudier (talk) 12:41, 27 June 2022 (UTC) Ok, sold. I'll just tweak and collapse, since the discussion is just between us at this point. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:55, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
