The result of the move request was: page moved. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 14:52, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Papar, Sabah → Papar, Malaysia — more well-known and popular among citizen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shorishibuya1206 (talk • contribs)

Note: Papar, Malaysia was the original page title; it has been moved to Papar, Sabah by Matthew Timbang (talk · contribs) with the reason of "Be more specific". - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:53, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Endorse per WP:PLACE: "Places are often disambiguated by the country in which they lie, if this is sufficient." As there are no other Papars in Malaysia with an article, this is sufficient.

Note also that, if this passes, there are additional articles (I saw Beaufort, Sabah and Pitas, Sabah in the navbox) that should be moved to conform. —C.Fred (talk) 20:13, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Move Titles should only be as specific as necessary. Agree that other areas should also be moved (assuming no other towns of same name in Malaysia) Chipmunkdavis (talk) 10:38, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
