Tuxedo Park, AtlantaTuxedo Park neighborhood – Neighborhoods are not, stylistically, in any formal style guide, placed before city names offset by a comma in the same fashion that city names are placed before states. Beginning a new naming practice here, besides defying broad stylistic conventions (and making the encyclopedia look less encyclopedic), will disrupt various geographical scripting efforts which extract information based on consistent use of text strings in relation to place names.

The new proposed title, Tuxedo Park neighborhood, actually captures content revealed in the lead opening of the stub article now appearing for "Tuxedo Park", and so is the more accurate. If another similarly named neighborhood were to appear—Tuxedo Park in New York is the formal name of the town, unlike here—the names can be made distinct at that future point in time. If it is insisted that Atlanta should be kept in the title, at least recognize and use the more accurate (if more cumbersome) proposed variant, Tuxedo Park, Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia—where Buckhead is the formal, longstanding district/section of Atlanta seen in maps wherein this more recently, popularly named neighborhood is situated.

Otherwise, to any with geographical knowledge, the current name looks as ill-informed a usage as writing Chicago, U.S.A. (i.e., naming city and country, omitting the intermediate municipal unit, the state of Illinois). In short, follow some convention and acknowledged style, rather than creating a novel one, perhaps only used in web advertising. 2601:246:C700:19D:C44D:DFBC:DBFC:110A (talk) 22:26, 21 February 2020 (UTC) Relisting. BegbertBiggs (talk) 15:59, 29 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
