Requested move 3 March 2016
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. Although I can see the potential confusion, as Mike Cline says, the hatnotes essentially assuage that. There's a little bit of
WP:IAR in that argument, but the current scenario seems to work potentially better than any other, and there is no consensus that a move is required here. (

Comment the same would apply to the other article, so the other article should be renamed as well --

Why would the same need to be applied to the city article
Half Moon Bay, California? That article is named that way using the
comma-separated convention to not only comply with
WP:NCDAB (because it is a geographic name) but also to comply with the
WP:USPLACE guideline, where articles on populated places in the United States are normally titled [[Placename, State]]. "California bay" is not a U.S. state, and instead the USPLACE guideline would recommend something more like
Half Moon Bay (city), California. Furthermore, there would be a question on whether there is a
primary topic for the search phrase "Half Moon Bay, California" -- if there is one and that is the city, then that article should not be renamed.

Comment. The closest guidance I can find that gives specific examples on how to disambiguate bodies of water is
WP:NCRIVER. It is specifically more about rivers and not bodies of water in general, but it may be useful here.

Oppose - the article is correctly disambiguated. One only needs to look at
Half Moon Bay (disambiguation) to see multiple articles with similar disambiguation. The hatnote on the article is serving its purpose. Ironically there are at least a dozen more Half Moon Bays around the world. They just don't have articles yet. --
