Goat Island, Trinidad and Tobago → Goat Island (Trinidad and Tobago) – There are many islands named Goat Island, and all the other articles are titles with a parenthetical per WP:MoS: Goat Island (name of state, province, country, etc.). This article should follow the same stylistic standard. Jokestress (talk) 04:21, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
- Comment. There are no reliable sources I've found that render the island's name as "Goat Island, Trinidad and Tobago." The precedent on such article titles for disambiguating place names is a parenthetical, e.g. Georgia (country) and Georgia (U.S. state). Jokestress (talk) 19:06, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Hatnote
editI propose we place a hatnote using the {{for}} template at the top of this article per WP:hatnote for similarly-named articles:
- For other islands named Goat Island, see Goat Island.
Because my attempts have been reverted twice by the article's creator [1] [2], I'm seeking consensus here. Jokestress (talk) 19:19, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
- You have already been advised by others that doing so runs contrary to the proper usage of that template. It's already fully disambiguated, there are no other articles named Goat Island (Trinidad and Tobago), so no need to do so. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 10:51, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
