Proposal for article name change[]

Since this area appears in three quests, Expedition, Fools Gold, Finding Nathaniel, I'd like to propose we rename it something else. It seems incongruous that the area should be named after only one of the quests rather than the main one when it is made clear it is intended to be the same area in the story. I suggest we change it to, Deep Roads Dragon Age II or Deep Roads (Free Marches). -HD3 Sig 02:48, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

Supported. I prefer "Deep Roads (Free Marches)". 31.16.207.134 (talk) 14:41, September 22, 2014 (UTC)
I think "Deep Roads (Dragon Age II)" is better as it doesn't create confusion that this area is the only part of the Deep Roads that run below the Free Marches. Hence I added back the move candidate. Na via lerno victoria 18:32, September 30, 2014 (UTC)
I also think "Deep Roads (Dragon Age II)" is a better name for it. --Kelcat Talk 03:20, October 1, 2014 (UTC)
Excellent point Viktoria. Though I am loathe to call it Dragon Age 2 because of the same reasons as regarding other section of the deep roads appearing in Dragon Age 2 such as Ruined Passage though I grant you that case could be a passage within a Thaig theoretically. Also I just prefer to keep meta game references to a minimum in location & character articles just generally. Perhaps a new alternative might work better?

"Deep Roads" is the name of the location, we can't change that. We can only add a parenthesis to disambig that location from the main Deep Roads page. In this case I think "Dragon Age II" is the best way to refer to this location since we can't use the quest's name as the location appears in 3 different quests.

I would prefer "(Dragon Age II)" as it is a specific location for this game. Who knows if we won't visit the Free Marches again in another part of the series in the future, with perhaps a new location also called only "Deep Roads", with new quests and new enemies? Should we then talk again and ask what the pages' names should be? -- CompleCCity (talk) 06:12, October 3, 2014 (UTC)

Since there's been no further comment, and consensus seems to be in favor of "(Dragon Age II)", I'm renaming the page. --Kelcat Talk 07:33, November 14, 2014 (UTC)
