Ras Aseir or Somalia

@QalasQalas: You changed the name of this page from Alula, Somalia to Alula, Ras Aseir. What does this mean? Are you trying to create a page about another Alula in Somalia? If not, then the term in parentheses should be as broad as possible, and in this case, Somalia is more appropriate than Ras Aseir. Freetrashbox (talk) 10:24, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ras Aseir is the region which capital Alula second there is another Alula, third it should be Alula, Puntland.

City>Region>State>Country

Example if you want Galkayo you must Galkayo, Mudug the Mudug, Puntland then Mudug, Somalia or Puntland, Somalia QalasQalas (talk) 10:32, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You should fully develop the Wikipedia article before changing the article title or creating overly detailed categories. Freetrashbox (talk) 11:17, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alula, Somalia: According to WP:PLACEDAB, Places are often disambiguated by the country in which they lie. If using the country name would still lead to ambiguity, use the name of a smaller administrative division (such as a state or province) instead. Puntland is part of Somalia, and that is the view of the Puntland government itself. As a place name, Somalia is more well-known than Puntland. The topic for disambiguation should be as widely known as possible. Freetrashbox (talk) 23:43, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
