Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (India) → Ministry of Information and Broadcasting – no other ministry with exact same name -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 07:01, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Oppose, but I can see the nom's point. We probably need a new section of WP:AT to cover cases such as this, where a title is seriously ambiguous even if there are no other instances of it. But Wikipedia is ]- Support since this is the only ministry with this exact name. Remember that WP:SMALLDETAILS are enough to distinguish between separate topics. Hatnote to the Pakistan ministry if one feels it necessary. -- Tavix (talk) 19:03, 21 June 2016 (UTC)]

- Rather, we should disambiguate only when two or more articles have the same title. There's only one article with the title "Ministry of Information and Broadcasting" so there's no need to disambiguate. For those looking for something else with a different title, that's where hatnotes are useful. -- Tavix (talk) 22:09, 21 June 2016 (UTC)]
- Hmmm, you're quite right, the guidelines say Disambiguation is required whenever, for a given word or phrase on which a reader might search, there is more than one existing Wikipedia article to which that word or phrase might be expected to lead. [1] (My emphasis.) That's been clarified since I last had reason to check it... I have learned something. Andrewa (talk) 02:08, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

- (edit conflict)with closer I think that we should append "(India)" in order to provide necessary context for the reader rather than to "disambiguate" in the Wikipedia sense. Let me provide a random list of similar Ministries across the world:
- Ministry of Administration and Digitization
- Ministry for Information Society and Telecommunications, Montenegro (redlink). [2]
- Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Networks (Greece)
- Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure redirects to Ministry of Regional Development and Infrastructure of Georgia

- The necessary context is the article itself. Disambiguation should be avoided if possible, as disambiguated titles aren't search terms, have to be ]

Not moved. I can't move this page in accordance with this consensus because there is an article titled Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (South Sudan), and thus the original statement that there is "]no other ministry with exact same name
" is false. Vanjagenije (talk) 12:44, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
