Much of this article is POV, badly written and unreferenced. I would suggest it needs a rewrite. TicketMan - Talk - contribs 01:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Coalburn, South Lanarkshire → Coalburn – It would appear to be the primary topic for the term based on page views etc., and Coalburn already redirects to this article anyway. Jellyman (talk) 13:50, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

• Comment, cannot really see any benefit in the move. Canadians might well be looking for Coalburn, Nova Scotia. Everything is working at the moment, why fix it? In ictu oculi (talk) 00:06, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
  • Anyone searching "Coalburn" when looking for the Canadian place is already being redirected here and having to click through via the hatnote anyway; the proposed change wouldn't impact them. My point is that having the ambiguous term redirect to one of the disambiguated ones doesn't make much sense. Jellyman (talk) 18:14, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
• Support. The current title is unnecessarily WP:PRECISE since "Coalburn" already redirects here. -- Tavix ^(talk) 21:32, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
