Talk:Metropolitan Club (New York City)

Reason for rename
By 1891, the New York Times had been reporting about another "Metropolitan Club" for over a decade. The Times noted the confusion that the second organization "in the neighborhood" would cause: HEADLINE : VERY HARD ON THE POSTMEN.; IT WOULD SEEM THAT THERE IS ONE METROPOLITAN CLUB TOO MANY. The word "The" is part of the subject of this article. Pi314m (talk) 23:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Metropolitan Club → Metropolitan Club (New York City) – Per WP:PRECISE and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.

It's not so much that the phrase "Metropolitan Club" doesn't have a primary topic, it's just that the primary topic varies by context: Since we have readers from many contexts, I think it makes sense to rename this article and repurpose this page name to a disambiguation. This follows the model of Cosmopolitan Club (New York City)/Cosmopolitan Club. - RevelationDirect (talk) 12:02, 18 April 2024 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it.

 * Support The usage is definitely location and context-based. This should be a disambig. --Engineerchange (talk) 13:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
