Chigasaki, Kanagawa → Chigasaki – Unecessary disambiguation, as Chigasaki redirects here. MOS:JAPLACE specifies the 'City, Prefecture' style only when disambiguation is required; therefore, this article should be moved to the prefecture-less title per WP:CONCISE. Yours, &c.

@RGloucester What are you thoughts on the reasoning in the original move summary that was the reverse of this? (MChew moved page Chigasaki to Chigasaki, Kanagawa over redirect: mos ja) Also, @Mchew still edits and would have worthy input on their logic back then, which appears to refer to manual of style for Japan or Japanese.

There is a possibility that the guidelines have changed in the intervening decade, but my understanding of MOS:JAPLACE as it is written now is that the prefecture is only used 'when disambiguation is required'. Other cities that do not require disambiguation, such as Hekinan and Nishio, appear to use an undisambiguated title. Yours, &c. RGloucester — ☎ 09:39, 8 October 2025 (UTC)

I beg your pardon. It seems that a discussion in 2014 abolished a previous requirement to use the prefecture in article titles. Yours, &c. RGloucester — ☎ 09:45, 8 October 2025 (UTC)
