• The original author is Daphne Wood, of the Hamilton Public Library. I am currently engaged in discussion with the Chief librarian and staff in an attempt to educate them about the Wikipedia policy. I ask any involved admin to exercise patience as this experience will serve as a first impression for this excellent Library. In short, this text was posted with permission, I am currently clarifying the GFDL issue. Alan.ca 22:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly disagree with the name change of this article from "Hamilton Public Library" to "Hamilton Library". The system is known locally as the Hamilton Public Library; this is also in keeping with wikipedia naming standards for most other similar systems such as Vancouver Public Library, Seattle Public Library, Chicago Public Library, etc etc (insert a hundred other examples here). The system is abbreviated HPL. I will reverse this change shortly, but will give some time for the author to defend this change first. --GGG65 (talk) 18:58, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I did that is that there are at least four "Hamilton Libraries." The way I found it, "Hamilton Library", "Hamilton Public Library", "Hamilton City Library", "Hamilton City Libraries" (that's right, the plural), etc, all led to different libraries. Thus, I made "Hamilton Library" a disambiguation page, redirected all those generic alternates to that disambig page, and put the clarifier term on the individual library articles. I don't object to using public library, but I feel you should use "Hamilton Public Library (Ontario)" due to the number of libraries in cities named Hamilton.

One more thing, Hamilton Public Library is currently one of those redirects to the disambiguation page. This would obviously complicate a page move to there. D O N D E  groovily Talk to me 23:57, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of what happens, I'd be perfectly willing to redirect Hamilton Public Library to the Ontario one, as it seems to be the largest of all Hamilton Libraries. D O N D E  groovily Talk to me 00:26, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After pondering this for another day, and looking at the other sites, this is what I am leaning towards... "Hamilton Public Library" should go directly to the Hamilton/Ontario article, with a notice that "This article is about the library in Hamilton, Ontario. For other libraries of this name, see Hamilton Library." The Hawaii and Scotland libraries are not referred to as the full term "Hamilton Public Library", and the NZ one seems to be called "Hamilton City Libraries" in current regular usage (though it was called hpl in the past). This would seem the best choice. --GGG65 (talk) 00:07, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article should have a heading for its local history holdings. --206.130.179.243 (talk) 15:06, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
