Proposal to remove the word Beach from beach names[edit]

I propose we remove the word "Beach" from the titles of beaches in this box, as the name of the box makes clear this is about beaches. All these redundant, repetitive words are no more than visual clutter.

I don't feel strongly either way, but – there must be a precedent out there we can refer to? This discussion is also relevant to Template:Public libraries in Hong Kong. Citobun (talk) 17:31, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Protected areas of California may be a relevant example of leaving out redundant words like Forest, Park, Sanctuary in this example.
• Template:Beaches of New South Wales is a little inconsistent but seems to omit mostly.
• Template:Beaches in Puerto Rico is also inconsistent but retains Beach and Playita at least once each.

Thank you for linking Public libraries in Hong Kong. I'll crosspost this to WT:HK for more responses. —A L T E R C A R I  ✍ 13:36, 2 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
