Most famous
Does this Darwin meet the "most famous" rule? I've not heard of it, but it's a capital of an Australian state. The other Darwins seem to be minor cities in America - Darwin (Minnesota), Darwin (Ohio) and Darwin (California). There is also a Darwin in the Falklands and a Darwin island in the Galapagos, but I don't think either merits its own article. Unless this meets the "most famous" exception then this article should be moved to Darwin (Northern Territory) and a disambiguation page created. -- Ryan 21:10, 4 April 2006 (EDT)
- Personally, I'd claim it does meet the "most famous" criterion. Is there a problem? -- Bill-on-the-Hill 21:13, 4 April 2006 (EDT)
- The Australian Darwin is definitely the most famous of the cities you mention. WindHorse 5 April 06
- ...and what's more, it's certainly the only one that draws a lot of visitors, as it's the only city of any size in northwestern Australia and the main gateway to Kakadu National Park etc. Jpatokal 22:12, 4 April 2006 (EDT)
- There's no problem, it's just that a disambiguation page needs to be created since there's more than one Darwin. The naming of that page should either be "Darwin", or if one Darwin is very, very famous then the disambiguation page would be "Darwin (disambiguation)". If I've got it straight, the vast majority of travelers who search for "Darwin" will be searching for this place, right? If that's the case, this one meets the "most famous" exception and the disambiguation page should then be "Darwin (disambiguation)". -- Ryan 21:24, 4 April 2006 (EDT)
- Yes, that's what I'd recommend. -- Bill-on-the-Hill 21:35, 4 April 2006 (EDT)
