Honeymoon Bridge (Jackson) → Honeymoon Bridge (New Hampshire) – the other bridge is called Honeymoon Bridge (Ontario), and Jackson is not about Jackson, NH, whose article is located at Jackson, New Hampshire, and not the primary topic of "Jackson", so is a poor disambiguator, as it does not match the name Wikipedia's article on Jackson NH. I would say the most likely "Jackson" with a bridge would be Jackson, Mississippi, so I think the disambiguator is rather poor. Therefore, like the Ontario bridge article, this one should use a primary subnational division as its disambiguator. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 06:02, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

- Support. "[state name]" is the standard first way of disambiguating for this type of article. There's no need to specify the town, because as far as I know there is no other Honeymoon Bridge in New Hampshire. --Ken Gallager (talk) 22:16, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- Support I have no idea why this was moved to just Jackson, there are plenty of notable places in the world with that name. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:24, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Discussion
edit- Comment: After briefly checking to see how other articles in Category:Covered bridges in New Hampshire did it, this seems to be in line with other bridges with parenthetical disambiguators in their article title, such as Blair Bridge (New Hampshire) and Columbia Bridge (New Hampshire). The only other thing that might be worth considering would be a compromise between the current title and the proposed one, which uses both the town name and the state name, just as Cold River Bridge (Langdon, New Hampshire) and County Farm Bridge (Dover, New Hampshire) do.
