Page has now been merged into this one. (Unofficially; but I doubt anybody minded.) Please see that page's
edit history for the genesis of some contents now incorporated here.

No relation to William & Mary
Thank you for declining to perpetuate the myth that the college proposed for Henricus is somehow related to William & Mary or represents its true beginning. There does not seem to be any evidence that the proposed college even operated (
http://richmondthenandnow.com/Newspaper-Articles/Henricopolis.html), let alone that the existence of the proposal makes W&M older than Harvard, as W&M's website has suggested.

Actual location of Henricus is unknown - article is incorrect
The actual location of Henricus is unknown. The article says it was found in the 1990's. Henricus Historical Park was founded during this time period, but not at the actual site. ---- Brandon —Preceding

Oppose. There's plenty of reasons, here's
just one. The actual reason is that we have always tried to keep titles as succinct as possible, and use additional disambiguating language in the title only where necessary, i.e. if there were another article that started out "Henricus". The same would apply to "Wostenholme Towne", but I'm uncertain whether it is proper to discuss that article on this talkpage.

Comment while
WP:USPLACE indicates what the nom is saying, these two locations are not current settlements, and existed prior to the establishment of the US. However, as is the case with
Jamestown, Virginia, the colony of Virginia is used as the disambiguator term, so this isn't strictly a US place. --

Thanks for the link. It took me a while to decipher, but I finally found the footnote that explains why my Chicago example is a bad one, because WP goes by the AP stylebook where Chicago is listed as one of 30 cities that don't need a state name. But I still prefer Henricus because it existed prior to the establishment of the US. I still don't think we should decide what to do with Wostenholme Towne on this page either.

Oppose As noted, they aren't actually US places, so there's no need to apply the unnecessary disambiguation mandated by
WP:USPLACE. Jamestown simply needs disambiguation, and it's kind of sort of a modern place anyway. --
