Category:Bury

[edit]

DAB to Category:Bury, Greater Manchester or Category:Bury (town) (and move Category:Bury (disambiguation) to Category:Bury), see talk for earlier discussion. Crouch, Swale (talk) 15:11, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. The most common use of the word "bury" is not for a place, and even if it was, there are many places by that name. Disambiguation is necessary. - Themightyquill (talk) 12:22, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And yes, even though we don't have a category at Category:Bury (word) or even Category:Bury (verb) probably per W:WP:NOTDICT that doesn't mean users (or bots) aren't going to upload content and put it in this cat like they did with Rush for example (as noted on talk). Per w:WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT a topic may be ambiguous with more that one term. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:41, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note that we do have Category:Burying. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:59, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And yes I wouldn't be surprised if someone would search for "Bury" to get there just like "Libel" redirects to Defamation on WP. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:24, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose per countless similar discussions. The Bury at Bury is the primary topic. I agree the concept of burial is more significant, but as the term "bury" is an unusual search term for that concept. Correct target in event of move is difficult as well. Both the proposed titles fail to completely disambiguate.--Nilfanion (talk) 13:44, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Per countless similar discussions we have established that primary topics should have a higher bar and this would seem a good example to apply this. The work "Bury" as in dogs often bury bones in the garden is what I was mainly referring to but even still there are several other places called "Bury" as well as Bury St Edmunds (40,664 town, 112,900, district) compared to GM (78,723, town and 188,700, district) which is often called just "Bury", considering you were skeptical of the move of Mundham its only logical we should DAB here even if we consider stability as a factor. The points raised by Auntof6 (talk · contribs) are surely the case here as its easy for bots and humans to add pages for things being buried or even other places. With Cleveland or Carlisle one could guess that Cleveland refers to the Ohio city as it is much better known that the original and Carlisle is much more well known that the other places that get its name from but "Bury" is an extremely common word (per Com:Cat "The category name would be enough to guess the subject"). Category:Bury, Greater Manchester (town) would be another target if the first 2 are unacceptable. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:44, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per nom, LTHOUGH WITH NO OPINION ON THE NEW TITLE. as an American, I would imagine "Bury" to be a malformed category name for burial. That's not an excuse for putting cemetery images into this category, but it does mean that Americans with UK geo-knowledge equal to or lesser than mine are likely to put interment files into this category, especially in automated or semi-automated situations like the Rush one fixed in the link above. It's obviously the primary topic when compared to little towns, but when compared with everything else put together that can go by "bury", it's not. Nyttend (talk) 00:19, 20 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This town is obviously not the primary use of the word bury, which makes it inherently different from other discussions over which town has precedence. Moved to Category:Bury, Greater Manchester, and Category:Bury (disambiguation) moved to Category:Bury. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:59, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
