What I meant by the disamiguation block idea was this:
have the article for Paris, the city in France on the page [[Paris]] with the block there. The idea was that the principal article on Paris is on the simple-name page, so at least a proportion of people following a [[paris]] link land immediately on what they want.
I don't see much point in putting a disamiguation block on [[Paris, France]] and making [[Paris]] a mere redirect.

I'd also like to suggest that in cases where one context of an article title is particularly prominent, we use a "disambiguation BLOCK" instead of a page -- that is, open with the standard disambiguation text and links, but run the principal article below on that page.

Sounds good to me - just have to work some type of acceptable format.
