This is not helpful to the reader. Instead, Bolzano should lead directly to the city for which everything else (Bolzano (disambiguation)) is named. --Wetman 13:12, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

No, it should not. A quick Google search for "bolzano" turns up about 1.3 million results, roughly half of which are for the person Bernard Bolzano — including the top result. I actually came across the article on the city by accident, looking for the page on Bernard Bolzano (but not remembering his first name) and assuming that Bolzano would be a disambiguation page. Elsewhere, I've proposed moving the disambiguation page back to Bolzano, so unless somebody objects either here or there within a reasonable time, I'll go ahead and make the change. --Wclark 20:15, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, actually I do have a problem that "Bolzano (disambiguation)" leads to "Bolzano", IMO it should be the other way around when dealing with disamb. because nobody would type in "Bolzano (disambiguation)". Gryffindor 19:06, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense, though I have been grievously unaware of Bernardo Bolzano. Entering simply "Bolzano" should either offer a disambiguation of the possible Bolzanos intended— as it currently does, rendering Bolzano (disambiguation) unnecessary—or else send the reader to the city Bolzano with a "For other uses, see..." link in the headline. It seems okay as it stands. --Wetman 23:19, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the most elegant solution would be to have "Bolzano (disambiguation)" since we are talking a city and a person here, and have "Bolzano" lead to the disambiguation, in order to address the concerns of users who are searching for the person. Gryffindor 15:06, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
