I believe we used the city and state in the redirect was because we have articles for two cities named Charleston. ML4E (talk) 16:47, September 8, 2020 (UTC)

Only one Charleston is relevant to SV. See other examples of articles titled City, State/Country with City (Story) as the story specific redirect. Obviously, Covington (Southern Victory) would not work, because there are multiple Covingtons in SV.Matthew Babe Stevenson (talk) 02:23, September 9, 2020 (UTC)
Please give specifics of the former. ML4E (talk) 16:52, September 9, 2020 (UTC)
Charleroi, Pennsylvania = Charleroi (The Two Georges), Charleroi, Belgium = Charleroi (The War That Came Early). Each story has only one of the Charleroi's.
Charleroi (The Two Georges) was created Sept 22, 2016 and predates Charleroi, Belgium created April 21, 2017. That story redirect was created at the same time. ML4E (talk) 16:55, September 10, 2020 (UTC)
Jackson, Mississippi = Jackson (Southern Victory), Jackson, Wyoming = Jackson (Supervolcano), for the same reason.
This redirect you created August 15 this year. Doesn't count. We do have Jackson, Tennessee (Fort Pillow) which was created by Jonathan as "Jackson" July 5, 2018 and I immediately renamed to "Jackson, Tennessee". On the other hand, I did create Jackson (Supervolcano) on Feb. 10, 2019. ML4E (talk) 15:41, September 10, 2020 (UTC)
It occurs to me that this one is especially problematic since "Jackson" is easily confused with a character name. We have Lt. Jackson rather than the usual "(SV)" extension which should be the priority. This was my doing and dates back to before we standardized on "(Story Name)". ML4E (talk) 16:55, September 10, 2020 (UTC)
Syracuse, Sicily = Syracuse (The Daimon), not necessary to mention Sicily in the redirect.
Syracuse (The Daimon) was created April 15, 2016 and remained so. Syracuse, New York does not have any redirects. ML4E (talk) 15:41, September 10, 2020 (UTC)
Lafayette Park (San Francisco) = Lafayette Park (The Fillmore Shoggoth), Lafayette Park (Washington, D.C.) = Lafayette Park (Iron Heart)
They were created May 1, 2016 and April 28, 2016 respectively by Jonathan. Not an authoritative source. ML4E (talk) 16:55, September 10, 2020 (UTC)
Etc, etc.Matthew Babe Stevenson (talk) 23:29, September 9, 2020 (UTC)
Hmm, that's an untidy system. We need to choose a standard. Turtle Fan (talk) 15:21, September 10, 2020 (UTC)
I say use State/Country in the name if there are multiples. More analysis to follow. ML4E (talk) 15:41, September 10, 2020 (UTC)
