The result of the proposal was no consensus to move. Dekimasu's proposal should be considered, but separately. -- RegentsPark ( sticks and stones) 16:34, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Edremit (District), Balıkesir → Edremit — Relisted. @ harej 00:42, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello Deciméku! I remember we had had discussions of a sort over Alâeddin Keykubad previously. I noticed only now your comment on Edremit, currently-titled under Edremit (District), Balıkesir. I was under the impression that my arguments were clear enough and the move request process had gone unopposed and I had corresponded not with you but with User: Anthony Appleyard over this.
I am not unaccustomed to overzealous pedantism where Turkey-related subjects are concerned and I was thinking that, once again, we were waiting for the consent of the Greek consulate in Miami, although they must be busy nowadays with radical Islam there to stay - joking :). But I see that it's a matter of proportions. 2:1 as you remarked. Judging on Edremit, ( Personal attack removed), but in wiki environment I will content myself by remarking that this is not the right attitude for help develop the article, something in which I am well qualified to do, knowing the town reasonably well, as I did for many other Turkish cities and towns. If it's 2:1 for Edremit, how much is it for Osaka? 7:7 ? Cretanforever ( talk) 20:58, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was rejected

Edremit —
For several Turkish town/district names, there were other examples of using a meaninglessly equivocal and complicated title like this one -"Town name (District), Province name", all of them ideographs by a single odd user- by now almost all of these are modified into the pattern -"Town name, Province name"-; see history for Konak, İzmir, Urla, İzmir or Menemen. Proposing to fit Edremit ( Edremit, Balıkesir, by far the most significant city under the name) into the same formula. For purposes of distinguishing between localities of the same name, a simple disiambiguation page should suffice. I will put a move request for converting Edremit (District), Van, a much smaller settlement of the same name, into Edremit, Van once this move is accepted and completed. You have 63600 results in English language for a Google search for "Edremit" (cumulatively for the ones in Balıkesir and Van provinces), and since most sources which cite Edremit refer to the one in Balıkesir Province (a coastal district and a tourist's attraction), you have 44900 results for Edremit (minus Van) search. Therefore Edremit (District), Balıkesir is a dominant meaning of Edremit by 2:1 Cretanforever ( talk) 16:52, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
