– Although this part of the city of Stendal is the only Wikipedia article bearing the exact name "Insel", a 27-word stub should not become the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the Insel (disambiguation) page which contains seven entries. The comma followed by "Saxony-Anhalt" is analogous to the forms used in entries under Category:Stendal district geography stubs. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:38, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
- "Insel" is the usual German word for 'island'. There are many islands. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:10, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
Oppose We don't redirect "common" foreign words to their English equivalents, per WP:FORRED. The article for island surely links to the German Wikipedia in the sidebar. As for all the other items on the disambiguation page they are all partial title matches. Whether this district is individually notable is another story. If it is not then I do support moving the disambiguation page to the main namespace, and that only.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 09:04, 27 April 2018 (UTC)- Support Items have been added to the dab page that aren't partial title matches, so I now support per WP:NOPRIMARY.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 22:13, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support. Most cities and towns are of this format. The only exceptions are major cities, and this does not appear to be a major city. Rreagan007 (talk) 16:00, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
- Actually, except for the big exception of the U.S., place name titles follow normal Wikipedia practice of using disambiguation only when needed. This can be seen in all of the other entries as Category:Villages in Saxony-Anhalt that have unambiguous names. — AjaxSmack 01:50, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support the disambiguation page has some entries which are not WP:PTMs, and among those I don't see any convincing WP:PRIMARYTOPIC either by significance, usage, or page views. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 11:05, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
- Support, no clear primary topic. The recent uptick in views is almost certainly due to people misspelling "incel", which the dab page already links to. —Xezbeth (talk) 11:38, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
