Earlier versions of the article included a list of businesses: these are not proper for an encyclopedia article: the information can be found elsewhere and will then be subject to updating.

Requested move

The result of the move request was: Page not moved.  Ron h jones (Talk) 21:10, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Constantine, Kerrier → Constantine, Cornwall — Proposed name follows normal conventions and is unambiguous. Can't move over redirect. Johnbod (talk) 15:41, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Constantine, Cornwall is currently a dab page, not a redirect. DuncanHill (talk) 15:50, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry - do you agree that a) this is wrong, and b) the present name here is wrong? Johnbod (talk) 16:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I closed this as not moved. As there are 3 Constantines on the dab page, you have a problem in trying to move it. If you can show that Constantine, Kerrier is much more well known than the other entries, then it is possible to call this page the primary topic and thus "poach" the name, the dab page name would then have to be altered to something like Constantine, Cornwall (disambiguation), and a hatnote would have to be added to the top of this Article's page to inform readers where to find the other pages.  Ron h jones (Talk) 21:10, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Whatever. But it should be changed - "Kerrier" is far too obscure to use as a disambiguator by itself. Your new hatnote is wrong too: for other places with the same name (of which there are many) see Constantine. Johnbod (talk) 01:43, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

I agree that this page should be moved. Kerrier is no longer a local government unit and is obscure as a disambiguator. There is only one other Constantine on the dab page, which does not even have its own article, is not mentioned in the article which is linked from the dab page entry, and does not seem to appear on the Ordnance Survey map. This Constantine is a relatively large and important village and parish (pop. 1,705), the other Constantine is neither. The third entry on the dab page, Constantine Bay, is not usually known as Constantine, and should really be just a "see also".--Mhockey (talk) 22:54, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Done and done, based on this discussion. This one is clearly the "Constantine, Cornwall", Constantine Bay is Constantine Bay. From what I can tell, the hamlet named "Constantine" in St Merryn Parish is in fact Constantine Bay, once the site of a chapel and well dedicated to a Saint Constantine.--Cúchullain t/ c 12:28, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Cornish name
What is the source of the Cornish name translation? I have heard that "Lan" prefixes could be interpreted as any sacred enclosure, such as a burial ground. The name can't be used as an argument for a pre-conquest monastery. However, I am not a Cornish speaker and stand to be corrected. Vernon White '''. . . Talk''' 15:16, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
