Old North Knoxville, Knoxville → Old North Knoxville – no apparent necessity for disambiguation, since this seems to be the only place by this name, and, even if not would most likely be the primary topic by an overwhelming margin. Bneu2013 (talk) 07:33, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support, no disambiguation is necessary. -- Tavix ^(talk) 01:37, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
• Support per WP:PRECISE. I've just clarified the 12 Nov addition to USPLACE. Disambigution not required in this case. Station1 (talk) 05:31, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Post move

Ammarpad, just to avoid any circular reasoning in the discussion on the guideline, did any arguments based on WP:USPLACE influence this decision or the one at Talk:South Knoxville? Andrewa (talk) 04:00, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

@Andrewa: Well, I am actually not sure, but by consensus reached and within bound of WP:AT policy and WP:D guideline, I believed the moves are justified. As you already know I closed both this RM and the one at Talk:South Knoxville due to their similitude and if you observe, there's more thorough discussion on Talk:South Knoxville than here. In closing them I considered the arguments forwarded in both discussions jointly and the essence of disambiguation. If you look at South Knoxville's RM the main opposition is to maintain WP:CONSISTENCY and that consistency is hinged to WP:USPLACE because the city is at Knoxville, Tennessee not Knoxville; but that point was proved not be always obeyed with examples of East Knoxville and West Knoxville which were given in the support section. That opposer had to eventually give up and implicitly support the move.

The other opposer opposed the move per WP:USPLACE but also hinted that the title ( as it was then) needs to be changed, thus augumenting the need "for move." I also noted that this oppose rationale was hinged to now disputed wording in WP:USPLACE guideline. In summary, since there's no need for disambiguation WP:D, need for consistency; ( with e.g. North Knoxville) and general support for move, I moved the pages, therefore "oppose per WP:USPLACE" was given very little weight. –Ammarpad (talk) 13:38, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
