Hi Tachtorn,
The authoritative resource for geographic names outside of the U.S. is
GeoNames, at http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html . Searching
here reveals only one populated place in Spain with the name Lupíon
(there is a stream with a similar name). Thus you only need to qualify
Lupíon with the largest jurisdiction, which is Spain. The AAP would be
Lupíon (Spain).
A second recommended source of information is the Columbia Gazeteer of
the World, at http://www.columbiagazetteer.org
Another resource is, of course, the work you are cataloging.
If you find additional information in Wikipedia, you may add it, but I
don't usually search there unless I have no luck in GeoNames and Columbia.
It is definitely encouraged that you include all the information about
the intermediate jurisdictions in your 670 fields because there may be a
future place with the same name but in a different region or province of
Spain, and this information could help break a conflict.
If you have access to Library of Congress' Subject Cataloging Manual,
there is complete information there about formulating geographic
headings in section H 690. Here is the very beginning of section H 690:
1. Obtaining the approved form of name.
a. Names of the United States. For names of the United States, the
Geographic Names Information System (GNIS), U.S. Geological Survey (U.S.
Board on Geographic Names (BGN) domestic names system) is available on
the World Wide Web. GNIS may be accessed and queried at
<http://geonames.usgs.gov/domestic/index.html>.
b. Foreign names other than those of New Zealand. For foreign geographic
names other than those of New Zealand, the GEOnet Names Server (GNS) of
the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (the BGN foreign names
system) is also available on the World Wide Web. It may be accessed and
queried at <http://earth info.nga.mil/gns/html/index.html>.
c. Names of New Zealand. For names of New Zealand, prefer the form found
in Land Information New Zealand's New Zealand Gazetteer of Official
Geographic Names. For Maori names, search Official Names with Macrons.
If the name does not appear in either of the above sources, consult the
archived New Zealand Place Names Database, which is a valid source for
names not yet added to the other lists. All three sources are available
on the World Wide Web at
<http://www.linz.govt.nz/placenames/find-names/index.aspx>.
------snip------------------
Cite the works consulted in 670 fields in the authority record,
following the conventions for citation of sources described in H 203.
Record in a $b subfield of each 670 field any data that conflicts with,
or supplements, the BGN decision.
Record any data showing that the name under consideration conflicts with
other names. This serves to justify the form of the qualifier
constructed in accordance with H 810.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I would like to ask experienced NACO catalogers for suggestions .
I am working on establishing place name "Lupíon". Wikipedia said "Lupíon
is a municipality in the province of Jaen, Spain." Geonet's result
lists only Andalucía as its jurisdiction. The Getty's result lists both
Jaen and Andalucía.
I have no luck locating any instructions whether to use the larger
jurisdiction (Andalucía) or immediate jurisdiction (Jaen) as qualifier.
If I use Geonet as the main source, the AAP would be *151 Lupíon
(Andalucía, Spain)*. And if I also use the Getty as secondary source,
would I be allowed to make variant *451 Lupíon (Jaen, Spain)*? Or AAP
should be *151 Lupíon (Jaen, Spain)*?
Thank you very much!
Tachtorn
