message: What does it mean? Does it say Hamilton is the 5th largest town by area? I don't think it's true, cos Gla, Edi, Dun, Abe, EK and maybe more are bigger. Or, do you mean there's the 5th biggest population in town of all towns in Scotland here? It's not, it's the 9th after Gla, Edi, Abe, Dun, Paisley, E.Kilbride, Livingston and Cumbernauld. So, What is it? Thanks for answer. --StaraBlazkova 22:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Presumably, whoever put it in meant that it's the fifth largest town by population, not including the four cities (Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee Aberdeen) which are bigger. Maybe slightly misleading. You will see that the Paisley article similarly claims to be largest town. Will edit to clarify. ::Supergolden:: 15:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Hamilton - the 5th largest town in the country? 

message: Was or was not the Burgh of Hamilton named in 1445 for the 1st Lord Hamilton, and prior to that had been known as Cadzow? I've had a few difficulties with some contributors accross the pond that for some reason cannot accept that their cities are named after this town, named as such a full fifty years before Columbus' voyage. please see Talk:Hamilton  Cheers.

thread_title: Having a little problem

message: Is it really necessary to list every single business that trades in the malls and retail parks in Hamilton? Every large town throughout the UK, never mind Scotland has these businesses, mentioning that these malls and parks exist should suffice. It's like me listing the Black Bull, Prentices Butchers, the Coop, Nisa foods, costcutter, HBoS, RBS, The Cherrytree, Home hardware, The Whip and Saddle, The Horn, Trotters Bakers, Border Baguettes, the Plough, JD Clarke and Allan, &c. &c. &c. in the article on my own town of Duns.

thread_title: Footnotes

message: Suburbs are rarely independently notable, and this one is utterly unsourced. I suggest if notability cannot be established, that article is merged into this one. Rodhullandemu 23:16, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I have tagged several articles relating to places in Hamilton, mostly minor suburbs or local parks. 
Silvertonhill
Laighstonehall
Meikle Earnock
High Earnock
Avongrove
Earnock Glen
Earnock Nature Trail
Woodhead, Hamilton, Scotland
Torheads Farm
Neilsland
Fairhill, Hamilton, Scotland
Iona Ridge Park
Hamilton United Reformed Church
Allanton, South Lanarkshire
They are all completely unsourced and, as things stand, not notable. Several have had 'unreferenced' tags on them for 9 years. With proper sourcing and a bit of attention, they could possibly justify separate articles. As things stand, each would merit about one sentence of their content being added to the section in this main town article. If nobody shows any of interest in improving them, I will merge them into Hamilton later this year. Comments welcomed, doesn't look like the articles in question get looked at much so at least this might bring them to the attention of a few editors.
There are other similar articles which are also pretty poor, but at least have some references and/or more obvious signs of notability, so I've tagged them to improve refs, although to be honest other editors would probably also think they should be merged or deleted:
Bothwell Bridge Lido
Hamilton Old Parish Church
New Cross Shopping Centre
Hamilton West, Hamilton, Scotland
Whitehill, Hamilton, Scotland
Earnock Estate
Hillhouse, Hamilton
Hamilton Townhouse
Regent Shopping Centre
Hopefully they can be looked at too.Crowsus (talk) 23:10, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose merge for Hamilton United Reformed Church on the grounds of its historic continuity with one of the earliest congregational churches in Scotland.  Klbrain (talk) 05:43, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Weak oppose for Woodhead, Hamilton, Scotland, on the grounds that occupied places (even at this small scale) usually have sufficient notability to be kept. Suggesting work on referencing rather than work on merging. Klbrain (talk) 06:01, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

text: You're a bit late, someone else merged it into Ferniegair 4 years ago. Besides, whether somewhere was noteworthy in the 1870s has little bearing on whether that is the case in the 2020s. Crowsus (talk) 23:11, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
