The current policy is to use the description of items to do disambiguation
and use as label the "natural" name. For example,
should have as label "Newton Lower
Falls" and as description something like "village in Massachusetts".

I'm pretty sure ambiguation is not a word, but
what are the guidelines on
removing disambiguation information from names/labels of items. Usually
this disambiguation information was added to a Wikipedia article name to
enforce their uniqueness requirements, but Wikidata has no such need and
the presence of the information makes it very difficult to construct things
like placename hierarchies which don't look clumsy/weird.
It appears that, in general, disambiguation text has been removed from
names, but this isn't always the case. Is it safe/recommended to clean up
those that have been missed?
Here are some examples that I've collected:
Linden Park, Massachusetts
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6552338
boulevard carnot cannes
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2921787
Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7020301
Harrington House (Weston, Massachusetts)
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14715508
Thomas Fleming House (Sherborn, Massachusetts)
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14715881
Peabody, Cambridge, Massachusetts
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7157211
Is the standard the "natural" name or the invented name that Wikpedians
came up with?
Tom
