Soran, Iraq → Soran – It is a big and popular city in the region, there is no need to mention Iraq in the title. Serchia (talk) 11:40, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
Support – No reason to have Iraq mentioned when there's no disambiguation page. --Semsurî (talk) 15:29, 5 January 2020 (UTC)- Oppose - change to oppose since there is indeed an disambiguation page. --Semsurî (talk) 17:29, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose. Soran is, and has been, a disambiguation page. This is not the primary topic for the search term Soran. As just one example, Soran (band) receives more page views than this. Dekimasuよ! 17:21, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose, malformed move and not a good move either. With all respect to what the term means in Kurdistan, we have to go by GBooks and GNews here. In ictu oculi (talk) 21:28, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- Weak oppose the band gets more (610) that the city in Iraq (408) but the city has several sub topics (like Soran Emirate 420) which might bring it above the band in usage but nowhere near primary. There is also Sawran, Aleppo Governorate (that is also called "Soran" that has 31 views). In terms of long term significance the city (and its sub topics) are probably primary but it doesn't seem that there's a clear primary topic. Crouch, Swale (talk) 20:49, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
