Make redirect[edit]
I propose to do a redirect to Chimborazo (volcano) because i believe it to be the more popular search than Chimborazo Province. There is no need for a seperate disambiguation page for only 2 articles. Both articles do have a disambiguation toplink. --Ma xyz 04:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

– The primary topic of the word "Chimborazo" in the English language is the massive mountain in Ecuador. The other possible meanings are less significant to an encyclopedia, named something else, or both. Most of them are derived from the mountain's name, not that that matters much, but I'm just saying. The disambiguation page has unfortunately been viewed 1500 times in the past 90 days, which is a lot and suggests a lot of people come here looking for some article and yet do not find it. Hmm, wonder which article that is. The mountain's article has been read 46,000 times in the past 90 days (~10% of that over a specific 2-day period). I actually recommend looking at those pageview statistics just because there's an unusually prominent mountain there--just like Chimborazo! There's also a hospital called Chimborazo Hospital--apart from partial title match issues, it only got 600 views. The province in Ecuador is doubtlessly the most significant other topic, but it only received 1400 pageviews. (By the way; if there were a Nepalese province called Everest Province, would we make Everest a disambiguation page?) The Battle of Chimborazo is basically another partial title match and got just 300 views. There's a park in Virginia (wow, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel here!) with 700 views, and another partial title match for a district near that park with 100 views. All this to say, unsurprisingly, the main thing people are looking for when they search for Chimborazo is the big honking mountain in Ecuador whose peak is farther from the center of the earth than any other mountain on the planet (even Everest). The mountain called Chimborazo is an incredibly important topic and easily the most likely target for readers. Have a wonderful day. Red Slash 03:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
