Blue October (United Kingdom) → Blue October (Essex band) – We don't use United Kingdom as a disambiguator in any articles, UK:PLACE uses county, which is most common in UK usage, as common in the UK as state is in the U.S. Zarcadia (talk) 19:52, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - What's wrong with Blue October (British band)? -- [[ axg // ✉ ]] 00:35, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose a move to Blue October (Essex band) as simultaneously vague and overprecise. Support a move to Blue October (British band) using the normal disambiguator in such cases.

Oppose Agree with AjaxSmack, Blue October (Essex band) isn't terribly helpful with disambiguation given the number of different places called Essex. Support a move to Blue October (British band).--Labattblueboy (talk) 05:12, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, I'm happy to go with the consensus and move to Blue October (British band). BTW, Labattblueboy you do realize that we have a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for Essex? Zarcadia (talk) 06:10, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well aware, but just because it's the lead doesn't mean that "Essex band" doesn't suffer ambiguity issues.--Labattblueboy (talk) 06:17, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Blue October (British band). Usual disambiguator for non-geographic British articles is simply "British" unless there's more than one. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:00, 26 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
