Myrniong, Victoria → Myrniong – Was listed at its natural name. Recently "disambiguated" with the claim "not a unique name" however the natural name still redirects to the unnecessarily disambiguated name with no other article "Myrniong" in existence. Even if one did exist, this Myrniong would appear to be the natural primary topic, given that Myrniong redirects here. The disambiguation of this article name appears to be completely arbitrary and unnecessary. Mattinbgn (talk) 21:57, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

• Oppose. Notable, heritage-listed mansion with the same name, no clear primary topic between that and the tiny town. The Drover's Wife (talk) 00:07, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
• Support/Revert and list at Requests to revert undiscussed moves. No other articles to disambiguate with, the move done a few days ago lacks concensus and is now contested so it should be reversed. PC78 (talk) 10:51, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
  • There is another equally notable subject with a pending article, so it's not true that there's nothing to disambiguate it with. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:50, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
    • Then it would be helpful if you could post a link for the benefit of others. PC78 (talk) 12:31, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
    • I took your comment to mean that you were working on a draft for the mansion, but having looked and not found anything I assume this is not the case? PC78 (talk) 18:28, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
• Conditional support Unless the mansion is equal to the town (if it wasn't WP:2DABPRIMARY could be used). I'd note that this was created at Myrniong, Victoria by the proposer when NCAUST specified that the state must be included, that was updated and the author moved it to the base name in 2016 which means its been stable there and was moved The Drover's Wife 2 days ago. See similar discussions at Talk:Pekina#Requested move, Talk:Lameroo, South Australia#Requested move 21 March 2017, Talk:Ulverstone, Tasmania#Requested move 20 November 2018 and Talk:New Norfolk#Requested move 20 November 2018. I believe that it has been suggested that the original author can choose if the state is included or not (except for cases that later need disambiguation). But in any case NCAUST doesn't seem to require disambiguation unless per The Drover's Wife it needs disambiguation from the mansion. Note that this is at RMT so it might get closed and moved or moved and left to see if there is consensus to keep the state. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:20, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
• Support. Clearly the natural name. I note several fake disambiguation pages have been added for South Australian locations lately in an apparent attempt to forestall the move of the town articles to their natural names.--Grahame (talk) 01:46, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
