text: Comment I think it should be at Manchester City (disambiguation) or perhaps Manchester City, as a number of articles on Wikipedia have the city capitalised. I agree that there should be a dab page on listing all Manchester City related articles. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:47, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

text: What? - This already is a disambiguation page. I can't quite tell what the nominator is asking for. "X (disambiguation)" is only used when there is a primary topic or primary redirect for "X" alone. In this case, there is no primary topic so "Manchester city" is by itself a dab page. estar8806 (talk) ★ 15:14, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, in that case I think I shall disregard the Manchester City (disambiguation) alternative above and consider either of the two base name pages. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 15:32, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Having the dab page at Manchester city (disambiguation) would have sort of made sense before you changed Manchester city from a redirect to a dab page (yesterday!).  Is there really no primary topic?  Not even for the capitalised Manchester City?  Seems like very few people ever refer to the City of Manchester as Manchester city, perhaps because of the inevitable confusion with the football club.  Lithopsian (talk) 17:02, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Apology 

message: I have edited Manchester city (disambiguation) since it is no longer appropriate for it to redirect to the redirect at this page.  I have copied the dab content which was here into that page.  I have also moved it to Manchester City (disambiguation) to match the capitalisation of the primary topic: Manchester City F.C..  This page can be referenced in any RfD relating to this page or Manchester City.  Lithopsian (talk) 13:26, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
