Split[edit]

There was a split template on this article since 2018 with no discussion. I decided to do it. This page was moved from Lake George (Indiana) to make way for a disambiguation page at the previous title containing three items: Lake George (Steuben County, Indiana) (this article), Lake George (Hobart, Indiana), and Lake George (Hammond, Indiana).

Requested move 7 June 2020[edit]

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.

The result of the move request was: moved to "Lake George (Indiana–Michigan)". DrKay (talk) 12:45, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lake George (Steuben County, Indiana) → Lake George (Steuben County, Indiana and Branch County, Michigan) – The lake spans two US States and would identify the lake better than using a state only disambiguation (Indiana and Michigan) and especially better than just county, state for one region as the lake straddles the two states nearly evenly. WikiProject lakes does not have examples on how to deal with cross border naming like this which can be added to the WikiProject Lakes Naming section for future reference.

Move to Lake George (Indiana–Michigan) (en dash, not hyphen) as more WP:CONCISE per similar handling of Lake George (Michigan–Ontario) and others. -- Netoholic @ 14:07, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the suggestion, this works as long as no other Lake George span the border. I've added the referenced name to WP Lakes as example too. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 05:13, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
