Disambiguation | ||||

I propose moving this page to Longford (disambiguation), and moving Longford Town to this page, with a link at top of page.
Other Irish counties have the county at "County Name", with any county town of the same name at "Name".
A link to the disambiguation page should be sufficient for other uses, Longford Ireland is likely the most common usage.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. Not moved. ( non-admin closure) В²C ☎ 20:04, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
– Procedural nomination, I am neutral. While I favoured having the town at the base name serving as a broad concept article at Talk:Antrim, County Antrim#Requested move 5 November 2018 and Talk:Donegal (town)#Requested move 23 March 2019 the consensus in both of those cases was that the town was not primary. In the case of Antrim the town has a population of 20,001, and the county-618,108. With Antrim, New Hampshire only has 2,637 (the others don't have stated populations). In the case of Donegal the town has a population of 2,618 and the county 159,192. While Donegal, Pennsylvania only has 116 and is named after the Irish town. Donegal, Perth County, Ontario is also named after the Irish town and doesn't have a stated population. In both cases the towns of Antrim and Donegal could function as WP:DABCONCEPTS for the counties and thus would be by far the most populated/significant but there was consensus against that. In the case of Longford the town has a population of 10,008 and the county has 40,873. Longford, Coventry has 18,538, Longford, Derbyshire has 349, Longford, Gloucestershire 1,218, Longford (ward) has 12,163, Longford, Newport has 102, Longford, Warrington has 8,012, Longford, Victoria has 929, Longford, Tasmania has 3,863 and Longford, Kansas has 75 (total 45, 249). There is also Longford (film) and several other places such as Longford, London that don't have population data. Longford, County Longford and Longford Town F.C. have 6, 191 views combined while the others have 4,123. [ [1]] [ [2]]. This isn't a WP:POINTy nomination but based on the previous consensus, if a town that has a county named after it and a few small places isn't primary then a town that has a county and some unrelated places that exceed even the county's population clearly isn't primary. I have chosen Longford, County Longford as the target like Category:Wexford, County Wexford due to the fact that Longford, Tasmania and Longford, Victoria are also towns and thus would be WP:PDABs and fail WP:PRECISION however I'm happy for Longford (town) to redirect to the Irish town or we could use Longford (Irish town). Commons:Category:Longford, County Longford is also the title of the Commons category. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 13:26, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. Many opposers argue that the Irish town is primary by long-term significance ( non-admin closure) ( t · c) buidhe 00:06, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
– I'm starting a new RM with a different target to 2 years ago. As noted previously the town has around 10,000 and the wider county around 40,000 but the other places combined have around 50,000. Also the film gets more views than the town[ [3]]. Alternative titles include Longford, Ireland (town) or as previously Longford, County Longford. Unlike the Bray move that created many links to the DAB I have DisamAssist so I can easily fix the links. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 20:51, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
