Castletown

Why dedicate this page to castletown on the ise of man? I'm sure many other places with this name exist elsewhere, in addition to the other two specified, so wouldn't it be better to use the castletown page solely for disambiguation? 80.255 16:23, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

possibly, though Castletown, IOM is the best known Grutness|hello?


Geo-stub

I've changed the geo-stub message into a UK-geo-stub. Technically the IOM is not in the UK (it's a crown dependency), but it makes far more sense to give it a UK-geo-stub than have it lost amongst the 1000+ generic geo-stubs. And there's simply not enough articles for a specific IOM-geo-stub. In any case, it is shown on the map! :) Grutness|hello? 02:04, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Requested move

CastletownCastletown, Isle of Man — I don't think this town is sufficiently well-known outside the Isle of Man to be the default. None of the other towns at Castletown (disambiguation) is very well known either, but the dab should still be the default. I estimate that 15–20 of the 150-odd inlinks are misdirected; about 50 of the rest are from {{Isle of Man}}, and there are 30-odd existing inlinks to Castletown, Isle of Man. --jnestorius(talk) 09:46, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
