*Support "Bishan" should be a disambiguation page  -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 05:50, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: * Well, the Chinese district has the word "District" in the title per WP:NC-ZH. So I think a dab page would be OK. Timmyshin (talk) 02:45, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

text: * That's like asking for proof that New York City is commonly referred to as New York. For starter, see Google maps. Also see the numerous results from Google books. If we don't use a dab page, then Bishan District should be the primary topic for Bishan, as it's much more populous as well as historically more significant. -Zanhe (talk) 18:12, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: * Actually, I think you are both right. So the best solution is probably to move the Singaporean Bishan to Bishan, Singapore and not use a dab page, redirecting Bishan to Bishan District. Still support. Timmyshin (talk) 23:25, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

text: **I don't know which is primary if any.  I don't think it matters.  I don't have an objection to making the district the primary topic.  My main objection is to creating a 2-entry dab page.  --В²C ☎ 00:46, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:TWODABS allows 2 entry dab pages. In any case it wouldn't be two since the dab needs to include Bishan Railway Station (China) and Bishan MRT Station (Singapore) also both "Bishan" in timetables and railway books. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:36, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
