Santo Tomás, Menorca → Sant Tomàs, Menorca – This article was created in 2012 as Santo Tomas, Menorca - with a copyright problem from a travel agency website which reviewer kindly cleaned up 7 days later. However the name "Santo Tomás" is Spanish, while villages on Menorca are usually known in GBooks, GNews and en.wp by the local Menorquín variant of Catalan. Hence it should be Sant Tomàs (Catalan), of Es Migjorn Gran (Catalan), not "Santo Tomás" (Spanish). And this is reflected in current English travel guide books Sant Tomàs, Menorca about 521 English Gbooks results GBooks for the Spanish name reaps about 350, but when opened up the hit is not for the village (Catalan) but a hotel listing "ultra-modern Santo Tomás is the most lavish (tel)" - the Santo Tomás hotel uses the Spanish name, but the article is about the village Sant Tomàs not the hotel.

 * Move to Sant Tomàs, with a redirect from Sant Tomas – both are currently redlinks. I happen to be familiar with Menorca and know the settlement as "Santo Tomas", but your google search is persuasive, and brings in consistency as well. No such user (talk) 08:29, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks but Menorca is required as "Sant Tomàs" on its own refers to the much bigger church and parish in Barcelona and associated charity. And several other churches in Catalonia Church of Sant Tomàs de Fluvià etc. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:34, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, Google does not return anything particularly interesting for "Sant tomas Barcelona". And church articles are normally titled "Church of...", with the saint name typically rendered in English. Sant Tomas overwhelmingly returns the Menorquin place, and it's even at es:Sant Tomàs.

 * Strange, for me "Sant Tomás Barcelona" produces ca:Associació de Sant Tomàs Pro-Persones amb Retard www.santtomas.cat/, and Catalonia also produces Church of Sant Tomàs de Fluvià. The village is at ca:Sant Tomàs des Migjorn Gran on ca.wp. It's just an issue of helping readers to have the island. We could mess them around, but why do so? What's the point?

 * Move to Sant Tomàs, per No such user. Disambiguation is not needed here. Dohn joe (talk) 19:40, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
