Requested move 12 April 2024

Java (town) → Java, Georgia – Java, New York and Java, South Dakota are also towns and Java, Montana is a ghost town. Yes there is Java District and Java Municipality but these are sub topics of the town and have a longer name. The Commons category already uses the proposed title. It was moved in 2008 from Java, South Ossetia apparently to avoid POV after being moved from the proposed title. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

• Support. It's not the only town. Egsan Bacon (talk) 00:43, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Oppose the proposed title. The town is claimed by South Ossetia and has never been controlled by Georgia. I'm open to considering alternative names. Alaexis_¿question? 12:07, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose. Based on the proposed title I would immediately assume that the article was about a community in the U.S. state of Georgia, due to the common placename, state form used for most settlements in the state. Something like Java (South Ossetia) makes more sense, but since I don't know the region's geopolitics I'd defer to others regarding the suitability of that clarifier. ╠╣uw [talk] 13:47, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

  I can't find any evidence of a Java in the US state so per WP:SHORTFORM there doesn't appear to be ambiguity per the Oni example. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:14, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I didn't say I oppose it because there's a place in the US state named Java. I oppose it because Java, Georgia is likely to make readers think (wrongly) that it refers to a place in the US state, since that's how we title them. ╠╣uw [talk] 22:50, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Yes "Placename, Statename" is common usage in the US but that doesn't make it ambiguous or likely to be confused. Leaving aside the US common usage it could be argued that all the places in the US titled "Placename, Georgia" would make readers think they are in the country as the country is likely to be more common in at least some parts of the English speaking world. Interestingly though there doesn't appear to be any cases where there is a place with the same name in both the country and US state. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:24, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

• Support per nom. We use this construction for all places that need disambiguation, not just those in the USA. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:51, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
