- Niviarsiat → Niviarsiat (southern Greenland)
- Niviarsiat, NE Greenland → Niviarsiat (Northeast Greenland)
– I find the "NE" abbreviation rather strange in the second article's title. Pageviews show overall low readership interest in both topics (about one pageview every five or six days for each article) and no dominance of one topic over the other. Note that I am suggesting a capital letter for "Northeast", because I get the impression that Northeast Greenland is a named place even though it is a red link, since the whole northeast third of Greenland is one big national park, whereas southern Greenland is not like that. Location-wise, the Niviarsiat in the "northeast" is really directly in the eastern part of Greenland near the mid-point of Greenland's north–south extent; it's not really in the northeast in the ordinary sense of compass directions. Maybe we should use Niviarsiat (east Greenland). It's in Suess Land, and the article about Suess Land says its in the east, not northeast, but the article about Niviarsiat says it's in the northeast, and they're basically in the same place. We could alternatively consider Niviarsiat (Kujalleq) and Niviarsiat (Suess Land). I don't have a clear preference about whether the disambiguation should use a comma or parentheses. — BarrelProof (talk) 01:35, 25 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

- Wikipedia:WikiProject Mountains#Naming conventions says that in the case of mountains with the same name "all mountains by that name will be disambiguated by putting the political division name of the mountain in parenthesis after the mountain name", so parenthetical disambiguation would appear to be the way to go. As Greenland is divided into municipalities, the first one could be moved to Niviarsiat (Kujalleq), and—since the Northeast Greenland National Park is, though unincorporated, more or less the equivalent of a Greenlandic municipality—the second one could be moved to Niviarsiat (Northeast Greenland National Park).

- Those are fine with me. — BarrelProof (talk) 23:27, 8 August 2025 (UTC)
