This should be a redirect to the article about the concentration camp, since the term Jasenovac is mostly used for the camp. See google hits: [1] - first nine of ten are about the camp. -- Biblbroks 's talk 18:04, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Since the town has the least text I decided to make this a redirect to the concentration camp article and made a new article about the town Jasenovac (town). -- Biblbroks 's talk 12:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
You can undo the redirect yourself. But please, state your arguments first. -- Biblbroks 's talk 13:40, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
I agree that the concentration camp is a more common use of the name compared to the municipality. On the other hand, in the case of the five Polish examples, most of those names as such are much better known in the English-speaking world, and only one of them was named after a settlement that still exists under the same name. It would seem to me that it's a bit more kind to the people who live in Jasenovac today to avoid the *complete* association of their village name with the concentration camp, and at least have one more intermediate step. As a side note, the name refers to the ash tree, so it is somewhat generic. I've seen a couple of similarly named locations myself: Jasenovo and Podjasenovac, and I think that there could also be other villages elsewhere in the region with the same name... I see now that hr:Jasenovac (razdvojba) mentions another two villages with the exact same name. They aren't really more relevant than the main two users, but still. -- Joy [shallot] 01:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Last month's statistics:
Because of the redirect (#1 to #2), we can infer that less than 10% of hits there are ambiguous. Yet, the other ratios imply that, of the ambiguous hits, less than 10% definitely don't mean the concentration camp. The case for the redirect is still strong, though I still think we may want to experiment putting the disambiguation page up there again, and see how the hits distribute then. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 08:39, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Let's see how it looks a year later:
The hits to the concentration camp grew significantly, likely for unrelated reasons. A bit fewer people saw the disambiguation page. A bit more people saw the village article than they did earlier. This looks to me like a clear indication that there's no problem with this solution. -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 12:53, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
