User:Crouch, Swale/Partial disambiguation of English settlements

Disambiguation of settlements and other types of places are generally handled at WP:UKPLACE which says that they should be at the name if unambiguous like Withermarsh Green or the primary topic like Chorley. If disambiguation is needed they are generally disambiguated by county such as Fordham, Essex even if unique in England or as a town or village etc. In some cases if a settlement is unquestionably part of a larger town and also within the district of the same name disambiguation by town is used such as Pennsylvania, Exeter. If there are multiple places within a county the district is used (generally the short form) such as Claughton, Lancaster. If there are multiple places within a district then the parish/unparished area or ward is used such as Newbiggin, Dacre (parish), Carlton, Rothwell (unparished area) and Broomhill, Frome Vale (ward). In a few cases there are multiple places in the same parish such as 2 places called "Lane Head" in Kirkburton parish in which case the nearby settlement has to be used, see next option. This is rare, see User:Crouch, Swale/Nearby names but more common in Scotland. In some cases where there are multiple places in the same county and the other options are difficult or the county has few or no districts compass directions or "near" used such as Nash, south Shropshire and Burton (near Tarporley).

Disagreements however sometimes arise when there are multiple places in the same county but 1 is far larger than the other (s) but the place isn't primary overall for the base name but it is suggested the far larger place may be "primary" for the disambiguator.

Generally OK

 * When the other place has a distinct name such as Holton, Suffolk/Holton St. Mary and Sherburn, North Yorkshire/Sherburn in Elmet
 * Where the other place is a sub topic such as Scarborough, North Yorkshire/Borough of Scarborough.
 * When the other place falls below and OS settlement and otherwise isn't notable or if it is some other type of feature is likely not notable and doesn't have an article here. Such as Cavendish also being in Chediston.

Generally not OK

 * When the other place has a separate article even if the place is apparently not notable, if this is the case get the other place merged/deleted first.
 * When the other place doesn't have an article but is clearly notable such as being a parish or village etc.
 * When the other place is still an OS settlement even if it doesn't have an article. This is often controversial though since the notability of OS settlements that are just hamlets or suburbs is disputed.
