Flat Top (Georgia mountain) → Flat Top (Chattahoochee National Forest) – Current title is insufficiently disambiguated as (Georgia mountain) can refer to a mountain in the country or the U.S. state. The proposed name is certainly open for discussion, just as long as we can move it to something less ambiguous. Zarcadia (talk) 14:23, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

• Approve - move to "Chattahoochee National Forest". --Doug Coldwell (talk) 15:09, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose - changed my vote for Flat Top (Georgia), per the arguments below of I.P. and User:BDD.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 14:37, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose Just plain (Georgia) is the most common disambiguator in Category:Mountains of Georgia (U.S. state). Yes, "Georgia" is ambiguous, but unless there are other topics that could be referred to with names like "Jackson Hill (Georgia)", that doesn't really matter. Rather, this should be moved to Flat Top (Georgia) for consistency—one of our core naming CRITERIA. --BDD (talk) 20:29, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
• Rename to Flat Top (Georgia, U.S. state) , and rename all the other "(Georgia)" ones similarly (and for the other Georgia, use "(Georgia, country)" ) -- 70.51.202.183 (talk) 05:07, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

We currently don't have any instances of a mountain with the same name in both Georgias. Since the mountains in the country of Georgia seem to all have Georgian-language names, we may never. The point of article titles is not to be so completely unique that they could never possibly refer to anything else, real or imagined. Per WP:D and WP:CONCISE, we disambiguate based on what we have. The Eurasian Georgians could name something Flat Top tomorrow, but for now, Flat Top (Georgia) will do. --BDD (talk) 13:23, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

We consistently disambiguate uses of "Georgia" to "(U.S. state)" and "(country)", so we should not encourage not using it in other places, when people will start arguing primary topic of Georgia in the disambiguator. Even if primary topic does not support disambiguated pages, people argue the point anyways. We should by default define that "(Georgia)" should conform to how all Georgia (x) articles are disambiguated, since the lead articles are disambiguated and the categories are disambguated, so the disambiguators should conform, to be consistent with them. -- 70.51.202.183 (talk) 04:57, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

No, we don't. See Georgia in the American Revolution, Georgia in the American Civil War, Athens, Georgia, Crooked Creek (Georgia), Grand Bay (Georgia), Interstate 185 (Georgia), Emmanuel College (Georgia), Lower Coastal Plain (Georgia), etc. bd2412 T 18:08, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

• Move to Flat Top (Georgia) per BDD. Jenks24 (talk) 15:54, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:SHORTFORM, which expressly cites Georgia in the American Revolution as an example of not needing further disambiguation where the target is apparent from context. I would be fine with moving to Flat Top (Georgia) per BDD and Jenks24. bd2412 T 18:04, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
