- Support. The current name is ridiculous, but the real issue here is Wikipedia:Use common names—it's nice that the island was named after a town in Spain, but the island is far more important from a global standpoint—just make sure the disambiguation at Guadalcanal (disambiguation) is maintained properly.

- Support. It is a waste of the reader's time and WP bandwidth to pass primary disambiguation thru a redir. 'Common names' applies. 24.17.48.241 19:31, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
