Hardrock182 - I understand your suggestion of renaming [[Dukes]] to | Hardrock182 - I understand your suggestion of renaming [[Dukes]] to Dukes, Liberty City, but there are a couple of issues. Firstly, the actual name of the place is "Dukes", and it is known as "Dukes" so we should try to stick to those as closely as possible. Secondly, the name move would just make it more awkward and complicated to use this page (eg linking to it). In all, I just think it is unnecessary. If you think that it isn't obvious enough that Dukes is in Liberty City (in IV era), then I'm sure you can figure out another way of explaining that?

If they were equally important, then we would make a disambiguation page (like [[Liberty City]]). What about moving [[Dukes (car)]] to Imponte Dukes? We've never done that before, but it's theoretically possible. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC) | ||
:Considering what you said, it probably ''would'' make more sense to move [[Dukes (car)]] to [[Imponte Dukes]]. - [[User: | :Considering what you said, it probably ''would'' make more sense to move [[Dukes (car)]] to Imponte Dukes. - [[User:Hardrock182|Hardrock182]] 18:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC) | ||
But would we then have to move ''all'' cars to include their manufacturers name? Notice how we use [[Police Car]] (not Police (car)), because it is easier to remember and use, whilst still being accurate? Words in brackets are something I want to avoid on this wiki, unless we absolutely have to. But thinking about it, more people would remember [[Dukes (car)]] than Imponte Dukes, so even though I hate brackets in titles, it's probably still the best option here. If it was the "Duke" that would make our life so much easier! [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 19:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
:I don't see any problem with the current name ([[Dukes (car)]]); it's very direct and effective in describing the topic. "Imponte Dukes" isn't what most people would think of when searching for the car's article, and not all gamers will even know what "Imponte" is. Plus the new title sounds very geekish and too absorbed in in-universe writing, not to mention the confusion this might create during arrangements in articles, lists and categories. Stick to the current name. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 20:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
:<s>I've voiced similar views of the matter in [[Talk:Dukes (car)]].</s> The "Dukes (car)" disambiguation works well enough, and using manufacturer brands in the name will only confuse readers even more. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 20:25, 2 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
== East Island? == | |||
I was just thinking that if East Island City is based on Long Island City should the island with Dukes and Broker be called East Island? | |||
