Flatbush → Flatbush (disambiguation) – The WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Flatbush" is "Flatbush, Brooklyn and it should be a redirect, with "Flatbush redirects here" hatnote. "Flatbush, Brooklyn" is by far the most-viewed article out of the pages linked from the disambig page.

 * Support the American one has 7,905 views and a population of 105,804 (though not a separate settlement) compared with 104 views[] and a population of 30 for the Canadian one.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 18:03, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

 * October 2023 WikiNav data indicates that out of 84 outgoing views that month, 54 were for the Brooklyn one and 30 were for the TV series. (The total incoming views that month was 127, so who knows what happened to the remaining 43 views.) Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 03:01, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Why would this have to be a redirect? We don't have the Harlem article at "Harlem, Manhattan". Nohomersryan (talk) 01:47, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you and good point; I prefer the cleanliness of your proposal. Looking at Template:Brooklyn, it feels like there's no unified naming convention/title style guide for places in Brooklyn (Edit: per WP:NYCPLACE, "Neighborhoods within New York City are identified by the standard "Neighborhood, Borough" when not at the base name " so this move would be in line with the style guide). Out of the 77 neighborhoods linked there, 65 end in ", Brooklyn" and 12 do not (e.g. Boerum Hill, Park Slope). Out of the 65, a number have redirects: "East Williamsburg" redirects to "East Williamsburg, Brooklyn"; "Bushwick" is similar. "Barren Island" is a disambig page, and "West Midwood" is located at West Midwood, Brooklyn while West Midwood is a red link, without even a redirect. I can't find any unifying principle. Template:Manhattan is also a mixed bag but the ratio is flipped. I will cross-post this move discussion to Talk:Flatbush, Brooklyn before making the change, but I don't think this will be controversial.-Ich (talk) 10:12, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Move Flatbush, Brooklyn to Flatbush. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
