Talk:Sydenham, London

message: Savacentre (For that, dear Wikipedians, is what it is and forever will be known as) - the largest Sainsburys in the UK? Are you sure? Anecdotally the Wimbledon (Colliers Wood) one is bigger... 79.69.130.13 (talk) 22:26, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You beat me to the punch! I'm fairly sure Becktons Savacentre/"really big Sainsbury's" is bigger than ours as well.
In any case, its unreferenced, so ought to be removed. Any objections? Doctorbob (talk) 21:07, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

message: This page has just been reverted (which I have reversed) for a copyvio without explanation.  Perhaps the offending parts could be pointed out so that a proper rewrite/removal can happen without destroying quite a bit of good article. --Regan123 00:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The history section was copied from http://www.sydenham.org.uk/ and http://www.sydenham.org.uk/history.html, and the owner of the website complained (OTRS ticket #2007012710001442).  Wikipedia's policy for dealing with copyvios is to revert to the last pre-copyvio version, or to delete the page if there is no version that is not a copyvio. --Carnildo 01:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This entry claims Bob Monkhouse was "born and bred in Mayow Road". This contradicts the Wikipedia entry for Bob Monkhouse which says he was born in Beckenham. There has been a discussion which favours the Beckenham claim on the basis that it is given in the Dictionary of National Biography. The discussion is here: http://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2039
Also you may wish to add an entry for http://sydenham.tv (note I am the author).

thread_title: Sydenham is the main area of Sydenham which the Sydenham Road or Sydenham High Street by locals and is the main shopping area.

message: Several places, all important in their own right, share a name with this Sydenham. As such, Sydenham (disambiguation) should be moved here, and this article moved elsewhere. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 17:02, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This Sydenham is the primary topic, receiving far more traffic than the disambiguation page, or any other Sydenham. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, this Sydenham is a community/electoral ward of a larger city. It belongs at Sydenham, London, or at Sydenham (electoral ward). There is no primary topic except for Britain, and all of these discussions stink of nationalism. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 19:42, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think you can make any accusations of nationalism when all your discussions start on pages with names shared by towns in your area. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This Sydenham was the first and biggest is Sydenham in the world to be named after Thomas Sydenham, additionally all other Sydenham's were named after it, to therefore it is slightly more important than any other. If we move this article should we move London to London, England? or Croydon to Croydon, London? just because there are other places in the world with the same name? Also to call anything nationalism on this page is garbage.Likelife (talk) 16:27, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Of course. One can also  wonder why, and why in sudden batches. The comments and/or possibly  misplaced nationalistic assumptions by  some users on other talk  pages  have been noticed.--Kudpung (talk) 02:38, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Look, I'm quite supportive of having disambig pages in some cases (Newport for a start), but this isn't one of them. This really is the primary topic whichever way you look at it. Page views, population and history all seem to be on the side of keeping this one right where it is. The indiscriminate nature of the entries on Sydenham (disambiguation) is another good reason not to make it the main page. Railway stations and schools in towns with the name, a college, a hospital, a non-notable suburb of Leamington Spa and places like Sydenham, Gauteng or Sydenham, Oxfordshire just don't cut it. With page views like this - less than 10% of this page's total I just can't see a case for this page not being the primary topic. Alzarian16 (talk) 22:11, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I can agree with this neutral and level-headed reply. It is true that I overstepped by trying to move Sydenham. The fact remains that it's the exact same users opposing for the exact same reasoning at every single move requested, including ones where there just is not a primary topic (Plymouth being the biggest example). There is no solid reasoning behind most of these opposes, just a natural knee-jerk reaction to a perceived attack against Britain or British places (the fact is that no other countries have examples of primary topics that are debatable). - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 19:14, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation required 

message: Sydenham in London is roughly the same population as Sydenham, Victoria and Sydenham, New South Wales and hence it makes NO SENSE WHATSOEVER to have Sydenham as an article about 1 and the other 2, of roughly equal population and importance, having to have sub articles. The disambig article should be moved here and this should be a separate article at Sydenham, London.
The Victoria Sydenham is important as it is also the name of a train line and is host to the Watergardens shopping centre, and the New South Wales one has similar importance.
The only reason that this London one gets more traffic is people who want to look at one of the two Australian articles yet are forced here for some unfounded reason. All 3 articles are of EQUAL IMPORTANCE and should be treated as such. Please move. 203.4.164.1 (talk) 03:22, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sydenham, London please 

message: I think I've had a change of heart with the name here... Even though its the largest and oldest Sydenham, I think Sydenham, London maybe sensible. Likelife (talk) 08:37, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
