Counties?

Can someone add the counties and other divisions of this prefecture? Badagnani 14:52, 18 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Area of Amdo prefecture

I see that something major has happened to amdo and its neighbouring prefectures. Most people here have quoted Amdo (and drawn it in maps) half the size I've operated with. I've checked sources from 2006, and they say that the large version is the current one. So apparently Amdo was expanded greatly between 2003 and 2006 sometime. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maggern87 (talk • contribs) 13:43, 15 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested moves

The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Nagqu is moved to Nagqu (disambiguation) and Nagqu becomes a redirect to Nagqu Prefecture. Editors agree that the prefecture is the primary topic. There is no escape from having a DAB page with three entries. But since there is a primary topic, the DAB can reside at Nagqu (disambiguation) to allow plain Nagqu to go to the prefecture.

{{requested move/dated}}

Nagqu Prefecture → Nagqu
Nagqu → Nagqu (disambiguation)

– Nagqu prefecture is the primary topic. As per WP:NC-ZH and WP:Disambiguation there is no need to add the word 'prefecture' as the prefecture is more important than the county or town contained within. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2014 (UTC) Rincewind42 (talk) 14:11, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Nagqu to Nagqu Prefecture, move Nagqu → Nagqu (disambiguation), keep all others where they are. WP:NC-ZH#Disambiguation of settlements and administrative units explicitly mentions that non-autonomous prefectures 地区 are to be titled "Foo Prefecture", with no exceptions whatsoever. Given that a number of them have a primary topic referring to a smaller division, i.e. Chamdo, Shigatse, Tacheng, Turpan, Hotan, Kashgar, etc., altering the naming policy is not an option.

- Exactly. Oppose move of the article. Support move of the DAB and redirect to the Prefecture. Andrewa (talk) 18:42, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect. Read WP:NC-ZH#Disambiguation of settlements and administrative units: "In general, when deciding to disambiguate a place name, those settlements ranked higher administratively (i.e. higher up the following table) are primary topic over those ranked lower, unless sourcing exists to establish significant notability of a lower-ranked division." Therefore please provide sourcing to establish significant notability of a lower-ranked division and move that article or else make the move as described above. Under no condition do all the entities get disambiguated. For example: Chamdo, Shigatse, Tacheng, Turpan, Hotan, Kashgar, etc. are not Chamdo County or Shigatse County. One or other article takes the role of primary topic. Rincewind42 (talk) 15:44, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Rincewind42: In general, when deciding to disambiguate a place name, those settlements ranked higher administratively (i.e. higher up the following table) are primary topic over those ranked lower, unless sourcing exists to establish significant notability of a lower-ranked division. I wrote that myself. As you have demonstrated to me, it was not written clearly. I meant to include that sentence to make it clearer township-level divisions, of which there are barely any articles (unlike county-level and up), generally have clear priority over village-level divisions. "My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee ^welcome!" 16:58, 28 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It seems quite clear enough to me. There is however a problem with WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, which reads in part If there is no primary topic, the term should be the title of a disambiguation page (or should redirect to a disambiguation page on which more than one term is disambiguated). I don't think the section in parentheses is appropriate here, and perhaps that guideline needs some tweaking. Meantime perhaps appeal to WP:IAR. Andrewa (talk) 15:24, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Under no condition do all the entities get disambiguated (your emphasis). Not exactly; If there's no primary topic, then that's exactly what happens: All the entities get disambiguated. This case is a little more complicated than that, in that there is a primary topic, but there are good reasons for not moving this particular article to the undisambiguated name (and no valid rationale for moving it, and the onus of proof is on the supporters of the move). According to the current guideline, that undisambiguated name should therefore point to the DAB, but see above.

But however these other issues pan out, the claim that Under no condition do all the entities get disambiguated is very wide of the mark indeed. The problem may be that the first two words of the section of Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese) quoted above seem to have been ignored, they of course read In general,.
