Main Post OfficeMain Post Office (New Brunswick) – There are many post offices titled "Main Post Office" for their particular town (Istanbul Main Post Office, Tonopah Main Post Office, Manchester Main Post Office, Old Chicago Main Post Office, Reno Main Post Office, Long Beach Main Post Office, Winnemucca Main Post Office, Elko Main Post Office, etc.). I see nothing special about this one that it should be the Main Post Office while all others are qualified, even if those are their official names. I propose to disambiguate this title, and make Main Post Office into a disambiguation page. bd2412 T 16:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

What would you put in the DAB? Every building, anywhere in the world, that has 'Main Post Office' as part of its title? Or would you have Main Post Office redirect to Post Office? EdJohnston (talk) 19:29, 5 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
We don't have, and never will have, an article on every such building, since most of them are not notable. The List of United States Post Offices only has eleven of them, and outside of that, we have one in Istanbul and one in Krakow. That's not an unreasonable collection at all. bd2412 T 21:25, 5 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Main Post Office may refer to:

United States
Other countries
Since it was needed anyway, I have gone ahead and created this page at Main Post Office (disambiguation), so it can be moved here immediately after the current page is renamed. Cheers! bd2412 T 19:17, 7 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
