Gorontalo (city) → Gorontalo City – Per WP:NATURAL. The official name of the city is Kota Gorontalo which literally means "Gorontalo City" in English. Bluesatellite (talk) 23:46, 29 October 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. –Ammarpad (talk) 10:19, 6 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Oppose per standard practice (cf others in Category:Provincial capitals in Indonesia). —  AjaxSmack  23:21, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
 * That's not a valid argument actually, what about Jambi City and Ternate City? I'm from Indonesia myself. And this place is known as Kota Gorontalo which is oftentime called simply Gorontalo, just like New York City which is oftentime called simply New York.

 * Point well taken, but the current title is still consistent with that of numerous other Indonesian city articles and is more common than what you propose. NB WP:TITLECHANGES ("If an article title has been stable for a long time, and there is no good reason to change it, it should not be changed.") and WP:OFFICIALNAMES.  I'm not sure what the problem is that those move will solve, so I still oppose a move without further rationale.  If you have a problem with the "(city)" disambiguator in general, maybe a discussion at WT:WikiProject Indonesia would allow for more time and generate more input.  —  AjaxSmack  00:34, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
