Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Wrangell Island (Southern) → Wrangell Island — No disambiguation is needed. If it were, Wrangell Island, Alaska would be a better choice. —Reuben 18:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. No disambiguation is needed. --Reuben 18:50, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer your other alternative: Wrangell Island, Alaska; relying on a double letter for disambiguation makes me nervous. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 22:13, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support. The dab headers at the top of each article should do it. — AjaxSmack 13:33, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Any additional comments:

This page was originally under Wrangell Island, but was moved in conjunction with renaming the Russian Wrangel Island to also have two Ls. Since the Russian island is ordinarily spelled with only one L, there's no need to disambiguate the titles. --Reuben 18:54, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
