IvenIven, OstvorpommernRelisted. fuzzy510 (talk) 07:29, 3 March 2011 (UTC) The page "Iven" should be a disambiguation page for the village of the original article and Iven (given name). The suggested new page title adheres to the standards for naming geographical pages when creating disambiguation pages. The village obviously isn't important, the WikiProject Germany already has tagged it as such. While the given name might not be much more important, I'd say it's at least equally important and a disambiguation page should be created. --Leifsinger (talk) 22:37, 16 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • Support and move Iven (given name) to Iven. Per WP:TWODABS we should not use a disambiguation page when there are only two articles to disambiguate between. A hatnote in the primary topic article will do. And I would say it is pretty clear to me that the given name is the primary topic, as that links to three people with that name. I am actually a bit puzzled that a village with a population under 200 can pass as notable, but then again, I am not that educated in the notability criteria for towns and villages.TheFreeloader (talk) 09:14, 17 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment I have no objection to the move to Iven, Ostvorpommern, but am not certain that the given name, which is pretty uncommon, is any more notable than the village. I don't really think that either fits the definition of primary use of the term. However, I agree that hatnotes are more appropriate than creating a disambiguation page.
