@Rund717 and Nyuszika7H: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:32, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure support from two editors on a page with 34 watchers is enough. As far as I can tell, this was not listed at WP:RM, so others were not aware of the discussion. nyuszika7h (talk) 08:40, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. No clear primary topic here. Not that large or well-known a town. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:05, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose for now a candidate yes, but I see no specific case being made here - see WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Widefox; talk 13:25, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose:
- Ballarat pop. 98,000 – nearest contender Ballarat, California, a ghost town named for Ballarat, Australia
- Geraldton pop. 35,000 – nearest contender Geraldton, Ontario redirects to Greenstone, Ontario – Geraldton (town), pop. 2,627
- Bunbury, Western Australia pop. 68,000 has several contenders to overcome:
  - Bunbury, Cheshire pop. 1,195
  - Bunbury (surname)
  - Fictional character (The Importance of Being Earnest)
  - Bunbury Music Festival, Cincinnati, Ohio

Ballarat and Geraldton don't have this sort of competition for primary topic. – wbm1058 (talk) 01:26, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
