Branchburg Township, New Jersey → Branchburg, New Jersey —

• Common name is Branchburg. Township is rarely, if ever, added in normal usage. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:00, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
• Bordentown and Bordentown Township are two different places, as are Boonton and Boonton Township. Not sure why it's asserted that "Township" is rarely used in NJ. Station1 (talk) 05:53, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

• Neutral - From what I gather, it seems townships in New Jersey have an inconsistent naming convention, with some having the word "township" in their name, such as East Brunswick Township, New Jersey, while others don't, such as Woodbridge, New Jersey. The trend seems to be that more rural townships have "township" in the name while more urban townships do not. A consistent naming convention should be developed for townships in New Jersey. Regardless, I don't have a preference for the article title being Branchburg or Branchburg Township. Dough4872 23:11, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
  • This proposal follows the common name and the place naming convention. While some townships in Jersey are ambiguous like Princeton and Freehold, this one is not. I don't see a need for an NJ specific convention since the two existing ones really address all of the cases. The only thing needed is to rename those that are not following the existing conventions. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:20, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
• Support in general. The present name is derived from the US census, which appears to assume that all Townships are rural, as the systematic use in the Midwest makes them. One point of caution: some NJ townships are ambiguous with neighborhoods within them, as well as other municipalities; Middletown Township, New Jersey springs to mind.
