thread_title:  Drew 

message: Not sure if I should post this here or on the Nancy page; but why is Nancy, France the default page for English Wikipedia?  I expected to get the disambig page.  Is a city in France so relavant (at least in the UK) that it deserves this spot? Fitfatfighter 04:38, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Default page 

message: moved per no clear primary topic. Based on the discussion below, it appears that there is no clear primary topic for the term Nancy.  --regentspark (comment) 21:09, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, the city of Nancy will (hopefully) still be standing for centuries after your TV star is long forgotten. Wikipedia isn't a dictionary of "now".--Kotniski (talk) 08:08, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Now that Nancy is a disambiguation page, please don't forget to WP:FIXDABLINKS. This tool makes the job easier.  From a quick glance, I'd guess that over 90% of the links are about Nancy, France.  Thanks, Certes (talk) 19:58, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. And I wouldn't be surprised if it were more like 99%. There is simply nothing else on the list with remotely the same level of notability that is ambiguous with exactly the term "Nancy". But the wisdom of consensus has spoken. older ≠ wiser 22:17, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: And as predicted, the wisdom of consensus has not fixed the links, despite the assurances we were given during the move discussion. We really need new instructions for cases like this, where something that was the primary topic is no longer to be so - it's irresponsible just to move the article and leave the hard work of fixing the links to unspecified others.--Kotniski (talk) 07:19, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Though I admit it would have been nice if the closing admin had gotten the ball rolling, as the move instructions request.  Powers T 13:31, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Apologies folks. I got called away by RL issues. Will do a few as and when I get time. --regentspark (comment) 15:21, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

text: Very well, I do believe that it is worth pointing out however that few French cities have pages entitled as such on Wikipedia. When more precision is needed, the general custom is to indicate the specific department and not the country, France, after the name of the city. Qpwoei2020 (talk) 22:42, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
