Algar → Algar, Cádiz – Several places and persons named Algar. E.g. alone at geonames there are 2x Spain, 1x Canada, 1x Portugal, 1x Pakistan and two lakes. Additionally there is a place in India Algar, Uttara Kannada. Algar should be a dab. Bogdan Nagachop (talk) 19:51, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

• Support per nom, also India is an English-speaking locality, while Spain is not. 65.93.15.213 (talk) 05:39, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
• See All pages with titles containing algar Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:01, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

• Oppose per WP:TWODABS. At least for now, this a solution looking for a problem. I'll put a hatnote for Algar, Uttara Kannada on the article now. —  AjaxSmack  22:30, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment you could always point it to the Indian location. 65.93.15.213 (talk) 04:38, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Comment the user misunderstood TWODABS: " if an ambiguous term is considered to have no primary topic, then that term should lead to a disambiguation page." There is no primary topic here. Furthermore, it is already a problem, since some links go to Algar which are not meant to go to the city. If it would point to a dab, then the dab team can find this. Bogdan Nagachop (talk) 14:36, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
• Or move Algar (disambiguation) (which now has 14 alternatives) to Algar? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:44, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Of course. And if links go to the dab page, then software can detect this and people can fix the links. But if they go to a wrong article, then there is currently no software to detect this. Bogdan Nagachop (talk) 14:36, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
