Requested move 21 March 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Going with what appears to be agreement to move the following:

• Linga, Yell → Linga, Bluemull Sound
• Linga, Samphrey → Linga, Yell Sound
• Linga, Hildasay → Linga, Scalloway Islands
• Linga, Muckle Roe → Linga, Busta Voe
• Linga, Vaila → Linga, Vaila Sound
• Little Holm, Scatness → Little Holm, Dunrossness

Seems to be no consensus in regard to:

• Uyea, Northmavine → Uyea (near Northmavine)

As is usual with a no-consensus outcome, editors can strengthen their args and try again in a few months to garner consensus for this rename. Kudos to editors for your input, and Happy Publishing! (nac by page mover) Paine Ellsworth, ed.  ^put'r there  18:32, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

• Linga, Yell → Linga, Bluemull Sound
• Linga, Samphrey → Linga, Yell Sound
• Linga, Hildasay → Linga (near Hildasay)
• Linga, Muckle Roe → Linga (near Muckle Roe)
• Linga, Vaila → Linga (near Vaila)
• Little Holm, Scatness → Little Holm, Cat Firth
• Uyea, Northmavine → Uyea (near Northmavine)

– These islands are not in, but near to the larger islands. Per WP:COMMADIS (and WP:UKPLACE) we only use a comma if the topic is in/on and not merely near the place used for disambiguation, see my comments at Talk:Carbost, Portree. The one near Yell can go at Linga, Bluemull Sound since it is in that[1] and the one near Samphrey can go to Linga, Yell Sound[2]. The rest should have "near" added to the disambiguation to show that their not in the other islands. Little Holm, Scatness is in Cat Firth[3].

Linga, Muckle Roe should go to Linga, Busta Voe because Busta Voe is the name of the water body it's in, as far as I can tell.

Linga, Hildasay should go to Linga, Scalloway Islands because that's what it's part of.

Linga, Vaila should go to Linga, Vaila Sound because that's the water body it's in.

Little Holm, Scatness should go to Little Holm, Dunrossness because it's not in a particular water body that I can see, and Dunrossness is the parish it's in. Cat Firth is in the middle of the island, Little Holm is off the southern tip.

Uyea should be left, it's only separated from the Northmavine penninsula at higher tides.

Support the others. Safrolic (talk) 04:29, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Crouch, Swale: what are your views on Safrolic's counter-proposals? Many thanks, SITH (talk) 11:26, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

@StraussInTheHouse: Not sure about Linga, Busta Voe per [4] (since it specifies its at the mouths of 3 (Olna Firth, Gon Firth and Busta Voe)) and [5] but might be OK. Linga, Scalloway Islands makes sense (especially since using a smaller archipelago when the larger one isn't available makes sense) [6] as does Linga, Vaila Sound [7] Vision of Britain doesn't show that Litle Holm is actually in the parish (though it might be and they've just missed some islands). I don't think its common to disambiguate by parish but it seems like Dunrossness is a general geographical area[8] to so Little Holm, Dunrossness might work.
