A fact from United States Post Office (Delmar, New York) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 October 2008, and was viewed approximately 1,935 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Why not U.S. Post Office, Delmar, New York ? —Tamfang (talk) 16:39, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Because all the other U.S. Post Office articles are similarly disambiguated. "U.S. Post Office" is the proper name of a building, not a location, therefore per WP:NC it takes the parenthetical. I will be reverting. Daniel Case (talk) 19:51, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hm. I wonder whether anyone has done a survey of how many United States post offices are named "U.S. Post Office" vs "United States Post Office" vs "Delmar Post Office" vs not formally named at all. In other words, I still have doubts. —Tamfang (talk) 06:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NC does say that schools should be disambiguated with parentheses; but schools have names that are more readily recognizable as names, you know? —Tamfang (talk) 07:23, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
