 * I don't understand how WP:PRECISE comes into play here. Station1 (talk) 17:54, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support: The naming conventions for Wikipedia articles of other similar Methodist schools in Malaysia and Singapore follow this format: school name, city. Look at Methodist Boys' School, Kuala Lumpur, Methodist Girls' School, Singapore and Methodist Girls' School, Ipoh. Similarly, this page should be named Methodist Boys' School, Penang.

 * Oppose This is a school, and the name of the school is "Methodist Boys' School", not "Methodist Boys' School, Penang". The parenthetical disambiguation clarifies that. Furthermore WP:NCDAB recommends using comma-separated for ambiguous geographic names. However, a school is not a geographic name, it's an institution, so comma-separated disambiguation would be incorrect in this situation. -- Tavix ( talk ) 16:46, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Support for consistency per Vnonymous. However, perhaps the other articles should be moved to this form in a larger RM. Laurdecl talk 09:41, 10 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Support It's less cluttered-looking, and it reflects convention.— A L T E R C A R I ✍ 07:36, 11 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Note that the school seal reads "MBSP". —  AjaxSmack  21:50, 15 May 2017 (UTC)
