move to ‘halifax’?
[edit]i’ve read some of the above discussions and i understand that the usage of ‘halifax, nova scotia’ was appropriate for the time but is it really necessary to have ‘nova scotia’ as a denominator today? this city is surely the most prominent city to be named ‘halifax’, and i don’t think all the other articles about this city would cause any confusion name-wise MishchaytWiki (talk) 19:35, 9 July 2023 (UTC)
- If you are suggesting a move then the correct place would be Talk:Halifax and follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 19:03, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
- Concur, but a pageview analysis of popular Halifax topics shows that this page does not have a huge lead over Halifax, West Yorkshire; it averages about three times the daily page views, but sometimes only has a slight lead, and was almost equal on one day in the 90-day sample. There's no hard-and-fast rule for WP:DETERMINEPRIMARY, but I've monitored a few such discussions, and they typically get approved when one topic leads all others by at least 6:1 to 10:1 consistently, like this.
