- Please could I suggest St. Marys Bay, Nova Scotia? - because of possible confusion with Saint Marys Bay, New Zealand which also doesn't have an apostrophe. CarolGray 12:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, after some reflection I think I may have nominated the wrong destination for the move, since there are likely several St. Marys Bays that will eventually have articles. I now think it should be moved to St. Marys Bay (Nova Scotia). The parentheses are appropriate because this bay is a geographical feature only: using the comma for disambiguation is only for municipalities, according to the naming conventions, though I'm having trouble locating exactly where that's stated at the moment.

- I think you may mean Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) (unadopted). I would be happy with St. Marys Bay (Nova Scotia). CarolGray 18:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
