– As part of a follow-up to the WP:TRAINWRECK at Talk:List_of_mountain_passes_in_Washington_(state)#Requested move 16 June 2023, while all of these topics also apply to D.C., there is currently no content on enwiki to disambiguate with (much less a list), suggesting that even if D.C. content were to exist, the state would be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, therefore the articles about the state should exist at the base name per WP:QUALIFIER policy. In all cases above, either the base name currently redirects to the state, which means the base name is WP:MISPLACED, or doesn't exist; either way, the above articles should be moved to the base name as the only/primary topic.

Oppose. Washington (state) is not the primary of Washington. Having these lists use the primary name will just lead to confusion, both with editors and readers. Gonnym (talk) 07:16, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This type of disambiguation is sometimes used when the base title is disambiguated; cf. Fauna of Georgia (country) and the redlinks Fauna of Georgia/List of fauna of Georgia. Dekimasuよ! 03:05, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well Fauna of Georgia (U.S. state) exists (as a redirect), so the base name should not be red. I have created a disambiguation page. No doubt many similar issues with Georgia articles that should be addressed, though disambiguation/primary topic issues between a state and a country present many differences from those between a state and a city.
