The result of the move request was: moved. On the basis of this being the English Wikipedia and it thus being more likely that people looking for the term "Presidente Prudente" in English are trying to get to the city.

– The city is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, no other article named "Presidente Prudente (Xyz)" has more views than it.

But I'll give a couple of other examples: I hope the examples above will convince you that this request is indeed uncontroversial, as initially stated at WP:RMTR. —capmo (talk) 14:40, 20 June 2022 (UTC) The discussion above is closed.

 * Presidente Prudente, São Paulo → Presidente Prudente
 * Presidente Prudente → Presidente Prudente (disambiguation)
 * 1) We have São Paulo (the city proper), São Paulo (disambiguation), São Paulo State University, São Paulo Metro etc. There's no reason for São Paulo to be made a disambiguation page just because it's named after Saint Paul.
 * 2) Similarly, there is Los Angeles (the city proper), Los Angeles (disambiguation), Los Angeles River, Los Angeles Basin etc.
 * So, why not Presidente Prudente (the city proper), Presidente Prudente (disambiguation), Presidente Prudente Airport, Presidente Prudente Formation etc.?
 * Support. If the city's name was Prudente de Morais, I would probably oppose this move because there wouldn't be a clear primary topic between the city and the president. But the city's name is Presidente Prudente, and when readers searches for that particular term, it's far more likely that they're looking for the city. For an analogous case, Louis IX of France, who is a very significant historical figure, is sometimes called St. Louis. But the article titled St. Louis is the city in Missouri, simply because people who type "St. Louis" into the search bar are quite unlikely to be looking for the king. I think the city of Presidente Prudente is "highly likely...to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term" (emphasis added), so I support making it the primary topic (with appropriate hatnotes, of course).
