Montgomery, New York

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This dis-ambiguation page makes no sense. It has 4 uses; only the first of which meets the criteria someone who wants to search for Montgomery, New York would want to search for. The second is a county, and it's very unlikely that someone who would expect the article to be at Montgomery County, New York would simply type "Montgomery, New York". The third and fourth of these are titled "Fort Montgomery", and I'm absolutely sure that if a place is called "Fort Montgomery", someone who wants to search for an article would type "Fort Montgomery".

 * Delete and move Montgomery (town), New York to Montgomery, New York, with appropriate hatnotes linking to the village (the parenthetical should really be at the end of the article title, no?) and county. Agree Fort Montgomery doesn't belong at all -- lots of things are named Montgomery in New York. Alternatively this page could be moved to Montgomery, New York (disambiguation), with the town given the main title and Fort Montgomery removed, but it seems like the town, county, and village could best be handled by a hatnote. --&mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 15:16, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - but move page to Montgomery, New York (disambiguation) and give town the primary page. There's enough genuine possibility for confusion to justify that this is WP:USEFUL. Boleyn (talk) 15:27, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, but move to Montgomery, New York (disambiguation) and move Montgomery (town), New York to Montgomery, New York, per the above. Harmless to keep with the number of entries on the page. bd2412  T 15:41, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
