The result of the proposal was move.

Per WP:CANSTYLE and WP:PRIMARYUSAGE, the city in Ontario should use the undisambiguated title. An internet search (excluding Wikipedia and its mirrors) for the term Guelph (excluding the terms "Guelphs and Ghibellines" and "House of Welf") provides results overwhelmingly associated with the city. (Removing those exceptions has no discernible effect on search results.) Mindmatrix 16:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. The existing DAB page is made up almost entirely of secondary uses relating to the Ontario city, and thus do not give rise to a need for disambiguation. Guelphs and Ghibellines and House of Welf do not qualify for the plain Guelph title, so there is again no need for disambiguation. This is the primary use, and the move is consistent with the naming convention. Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:19, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
