The result of the move request was: Move to Barrow, Lancashire. No need for dab page per WP:TWODABS Born2cycle (talk) 04:24, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Barrow, Clitheroe → Barrow, Lancashire &mdash; No reason to use odd disambiguation by neighbouring village when the ordinary disambiguation by county is quite adequate. (The only other entry listed at Barrow, Lancashire is not called just Barrow and is not in Lancashire - a hatnote to it would work just as well as the dab page.)

 * Oppose. For a long time Barrow-in-Furness was also in Lancashire and is often called merely Barrow. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * But why do you "oppose"? A hatnote to B-in-Furness would be no less inconvenient for anyone than the two-item dab page.--Kotniski (talk) 15:33, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * If a more specific disambiguator is deemed necessary, would it not be preferable to use the district rather than the civil parish, i.e. Barrow, Ribble Valley, not Barrow, Clitheroe? PC78 (talk) 15:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support I think a hatnote pointing to Barrow-in-Furness is quite adequate if there are no other titles to disambiguate from. Jafeluv (talk) 13:24, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Barrow-in-Furness has been in Cumbria since 1974 and has a distinct name, hence I agree that a hatnote would be better than the current dabpage. PC78 (talk) 15:53, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Support The proposed hatnote deals quite adequately with the former Lancastrians.  Skinsmoke (talk) 13:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
