Noss → Isle of Noss
Noss (disambiguation) → Noss

– Per WP:COMMONNAME this is the name on the OS and the one that the Gazetteer for Scotland uses. Out of those that have "Isle of" on the OS, most of the WP articles are at that location for example Isle of Stenness, also in the Shetland Islands. There are several other uses on the DAB page including 2 other settlements in Scotland, one also being in the Shetland Islands[1]. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:55, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. "Noss" is the common name of the island, and the island appears to be the primary topic for the name. Even if we did need to disambiguate, we do not disambiguate by adding "Isle" or similar – see WP:UKPLACE for the relevant naming convention – so we would disambiguate as Noss, Shetland. Isle of Stenness, cited above, in in no way comparable because Stenness is on the Mainland and the Isle of Stenness is the island offshore from Stenness that offers protection to its harbour. --Deskford (talk) 20:52, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
