Though accused by his enemies of being grasping, he left less than £5000. A few Greek manuscripts, brought from Mount Athos, he left to the college library; his books and papers to his nephew, Richard Bentley. Richard, who was a fellow of Trinity, at his death in 1786 left the papers to the college library. The books, containing in many cases valuable manuscript notes, were purchased by the British Museum. ).

– There are a large number of uses on the DAB page and while the company does get more views its own website includes "Motors" in the title. The university also gets a reasonable number of views. Others such as
Austin Motor Company,
Ford Motor Company and
Lincoln Motor Company use the longer names at least for natural disambiguation and that would seem to be the case here. I suggest however that we keep the company at the top of the DAB since its likely the most likely topic but the places probably have more long-term significance. The company was founded by
W. O. Bentley and H. M. Bentley and the surname
derives from the places. Crouch, Swale (

Oppose for the following reasons: 1) Per
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as
Bentley (which, per
WP:COMMONNAME, should be used in preference to "Bentey Motors" as it is more commonly used) is clearly the primary topic (try comparing it, using
this tool, with the other articles on the disambiguation page) for this search, the root title should continue to be used for "Bentley Motors". 2) Per
WP:NCCORP the legal status suffix of a company ("Limited" in this case) should not generally be included in the article title. --

Oppose. Even the nom notes that the motor company is the most likely topic, so isn't that an argument to keep things as they are? Of all the current dab page entries, including the dab page itself,
Bentley gets just over 70% of all page views (
top ten here, the rest at
[1],
[2] &
[3] for curious minds). The current arrangement reflects both
WP:COMMONNAME and
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.
