:*Thank you both for your input.

*'''Oppose''' This article needs a lot more substance first before it should be considered for rename and move. Before its population, economic and political impact is established, Jimo is just a county-level city in the prefecture of Qingdao. |

Jimo City → Jimo – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:22, 8 July 2011 (UTC) 1) All other entries on the disambiguation page Jimo refer to abbreviations, which should be spelt JIMO or less commonly, J.I.M.O. This topic is the only true "Jimo". 2) A city of 1 million something and the 17th most powerful (2010) county or county-level city in the PRC (with 1400+ counties alone) is obviously the most important existing entity on that page. —HXL's Roundtable and Record 20:01, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose; it's too likely that someone looking for JIMO will type it in lowercase. Powers T 20:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
- Strictly speaking, 'Jimo', is not lowercase 'JIMO'. Examining the results of a mainline Google search for 'Jimo', none of the results for the proposed satellite spelled the acronym incorrectly, and only one of the city results spelled it in lower-case. Besides, past the first page, the results overwhelmingly point to the city. —HXL: 聊天 (T) 和 貢獻 (C) 20:34, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
- Support: According to naming conventions, if a place is the primary topic for a particular name (which Jimo is), then its article should normally carry that name. Anyone looking for subjects that can be abbreviated as JIMO or J.I.M.O are easily served with a hatnote atop of the article for the city Quigley (talk) 22:41, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: Jimo should not be named "Jimo City" if that is not actually its name. If disambiguation needs to be given in the title of the article, the title could be changed to "Jimo (City)".Ferox Seneca (talk) 19:26, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
