Disambiguation?

[edit]

Does Cooperstown (New York) meet our "much more famous" guideline for getting the un-disambiguated title? Cooperstown, New York, is a baseball mecca and named after legendary author James Fenimore Cooper; the one in North Dakota is a fairly average small town.

Neither is very famous, but... I'm all for removing disambiguators when we can, and the ND Cooperstown, although we have a decent enough guide to it, is nowheresville. --Peter Talk 21:01, 21 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Cooperstown, New York, is famous among baseball fans. I've never heard of Cooperstown, North Dakota. I think the town in New York passes the test. Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:32, 22 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
I have never heard of either, and would not consider myself geographically challenged. I would guess that most people outside of the US would not know either. Peter (Southwood) (talk): 05:59, 22 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
It may not be famous outside of the US, but inside of the US Cooperstown is synonymous with baseball. Also, for what it's worth w:Cooperstown redirects to the town in New York. -- Ryan (talk) 06:05, 22 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
With only two to choose from, we're not adding any additional clicks to get to the lesser known version. --Inas (talk) 01:02, 4 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
We usually link to the dab page even when there's only one other choice, don't we? So it would actually increase the number of clicks. LtPowers (talk) 12:14, 4 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Tally up one more pro-"much more famous" vote from me. -- AndreCarrotflower (talk) 06:31, 12 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
