User:Crouch, Swale/Called v is and where
Some subjects have what the subject is as part of the name, others don't and some even have something the subject actually isn't technically such as the Isle of Lewis, which isn't an island in its own right and is part of Lewis and Harris. In some cases this difference can be used to disambiguate/allow a redirect per WP:SMALLDETAILS for example Berkshire goes to the county in England but Berkshire County goes to the American county since although the English one is a county only the American one has "County" as part of the name rather than merely being a county, that is to say anyone searching with "Berkshire County" will very likely be looking for the American one similarly although Brockhall in Northamptonshire is also a village, only the one in Lancashire has "Village" as part of the name however the Brockhall page is still a DAB since many people may not know that the Lancashire one includes "Village" since few villages do and thus may well search for just "Brockhall".
