From Wikidata

I mostly focus on fixing location labels, removing comma-separated or parenthetical place details that are already present in the claims of an item (and at times adding them if not). Where necessary, I add or update the English description to prevent item label conflicts.

Detroit, Michigan ➜ Detroit

Detroit (Michigan) ➜ Detroit

This extraneous details are often introduced when bots copy over page titles from Wikipedia. However, unlike Wikipedia, Wikidata labels can be ambiguous and should not include additional place info (see the guidance on labels) in any language. Instead, ambiguity should be clarified in the descriptions and claims themselves.
