  • In favour of "primary topic" disambiguation
    • Mintguy, Nevilley, mav, AN
    • UK Durham is historic, and what most think of. It should be primary topic just like London and France. Also, most inbound links are to UK Durham
  • In favour of "equal" or "hub" disambiguation
    • Martin, Eclecticology
    • NC Durham is more populous, less historical, but more present in google - it's unclear, so hub is best. Durham is historic, but it's no London.

See wikipedia:disambiguation to learn the different between "primary topic" and "equal" disambiguation.

I am aware that adding lots of Durhams to this page opens me to the accusation of being a nerdy collector. However, I do think there is something interesting and significant about the growth of place names round the world, and what has been named after what, and I think an encyclopedia is a good place to see such a list even if articles for all entries on the list may well never exist.

Having a complete collection is, IMO, a good thing. BTW, which Durham is the song "I'm gonna leave old Durham Town" about? -- SGBailey 10:46 Dec 24, 2002 (UTC)
