Only one match and two partials. Not even worth a hatnote. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:55, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There were actually two matches and one partial. The French version has more matches, I added 1. Geschichte (talk) 08:57, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Being "part of the name" violates WP:partial title match worse than usual. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:36, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The extra parts of the Mantes names are themselves disambiguators. The root is Mantes. Geschichte (talk) 21:30, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:Partial title match, "Do not add a link that merely contains part of the page title". Clarityfiend (talk) 07:42, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant. Mantes is not really a part of the name, it is the name, but a name that needs disambiguating, and the French have made up these disambiguators. Articles should not have 3-4 hatnotes. Geschichte (talk) 07:29, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; they do look like PTMs, but I believe Geschicte is correct, that the French-style place names with dashes are a form of natural disambiguators, so those (or at least the first three) are ambiguous. -- JHunterJ (talk) 15:48, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per JHunterJ, specific names are valid entries on DAB pages per WP:PTM where "Mantes" is like "Carolina" in this case note that the DAB page exists on the French Wikipedia and 3 others. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:39, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
