[edit] Proposed Move
I propose that this page be moved to Vanderbilt University Medical Center (Nashville, Tennessee) to meet the standards set by WP:NC. This move is also proposed so as to follow future format for all hospital articles in List of hospitals in Tennessee. -- Dan9186(T • E • C) December 13, 2007 23:44 (UTC)
- I'd say that's unnecessary. There's nothing in WP:NC that suggests that there's a need to include the city and state name here. From the naming conventions:
- Generally, article naming should prefer what the greatest number of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature. (Emphasis added.)
- I think this already has a minimum of ambiguity because there are no other Vanderbilt University Medical Centers. There aren't any in Memphis, Tennessee, for example, or in Atlanta, Georgia, so there's no need to indicate that this one happens to be in Nashville. Furthermore, most of the articles on hospitals in that list don't exist yet, so they don't provide a particularly reasonable standard for conformity. And most of those articles, once created, wouldn't need the geographic disambiguation anyway; why call it "Wellmont Bristol Regional Medical Center (Bristol, Tennessee)" when "Wellmont Bristol Regional Medical Center" solves the problem just as well?

Good point, thanks for the prompt response. Also thanks for finding another item on the list that needed to be corrected. I've caught myself removing everyone I find. Thanks. -- Dan9186(T • E • C) December 14, 2007 19:08 (UTC)
