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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Suggest "Etruscan sanctuaries at Portonaccio" instead: this article isn't about Portonaccio. It's about an archaeological site at Portonaccio—specifically two Etruscan sanctuaries there. If the current title format were kept, it should of course refer to "Veii", not "Veio" (I note that the infobox uses "Lazio" instead of "Latium", so I'm guessing that the article was translated from Italian, without Italian names being rendered in English/Latin). But as there don't seem to be any more famous Portonaccios, disambiguation isn't necessary. What is necessary is a title that doesn't astonish readers who think the article will be about a neighborhood of modern Rome, when the article is entirely about an archaeological site/ruins in that neighborhood.

I agree with said statements above. It is clear that Portonaccio (Veio) is not an appropriate title, and I agree that "Etruscan sanctuaries at Portonaccio" is a better-suited title.Paul Vaurie (

But there doesn't appear to be anything else at Portonaccio, not so much as a pizzeria, so the article is about Portonaccio. Fwiw, google maps calls the site "Area Archeologica di Veio - Santuario Etrusco dell'Apollo".

Google Maps is not relevant. However, the Italian article is titled "Santuario di Portonaccio", meaning Sanctuary of Portonaccio. The French, Spanish, and Catalan articles call it simply "Portonaccio", so actually, just "Portonaccio" would not be an inappropriate title.

Comment - if there is no consensus to move to "Etruscan sanctuaries at Portonaccio", then at the very least this should be moved to "Portonaccio" since there is consensus on that move at least.
