Scarborough General Hospital (England) → Scarborough Hospital – Both NHS England and the Trust itself refer to the hospital as "Scarborough Hospital" - see https://www.nhs.uk/Services/hospitals/overview/DefaultView.aspx?id=91155 and https://www.yorkhospitals.nhs.uk/our-hospitals/scarborough-hospital/ Millstream3 (talk) 10:51, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Dormskirk (talk) 12:06, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support, as original creator of the article (converted from a redirect). I've reassured myself that the article was correctly named when created, and have added an archived link to the old title. Care needed with hatnotes to help every reader get where they want between Scarborough Health Network ("formerly The Scarborough Hospital ") and its Scarborough General Hospital (Toronto), as well as Scarborough General Hospital, Tobago.

Possibly a dab page at Scarborough General Hospital, showing the 2 current and one former, and then a hatnote on this one, something like {{for the Canadian hospital previously known as Scarborough Hospital|Scarborough Health Network|similarly titled hospitals|Scarborough General Hospital (disambiguation){{!}}Scarborough General Hospital}}

Comment FWIW i just did a virtual drive-by on Google maps. There are two signs by the main entrance, One says "Scarborough Hospital", and one says "Welcome to Scarborough General Hospital". IdreamofJeanie (talk) 06:53, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If the disambiguator is kept then it should be ", North Yorkshire", rather than "(England)". We disambiguate British buildings using the county and a comma. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:13, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hospital Name[edit]

Scarborough 'General', is now referred to as just Scarborough Hospital. In relatively recent times it was known (particularly by the NHS staff themselves) as Scarborough General, though not by the public. This was to distinguish the 'General' from other hospital site's in town, these being the now defunct St. Mary's & farther back, St. Thomas's. Cross Lane Hospital is still in existence & is about just over a mile from the Scalby Road 'General' site. Cross Lane Hospital is now a Mental Health facility & seemingly run by a different health trust? Historically the name is correct, it's just a debate whether changes over time mean that Scarborough Hospital, as it is now known by the considerable majority of people, is how the page should be titled? I'm not aware of any confusion which may arise from the current heading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nix D (talk • contribs) 19:13, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
