Richmond Town HallRichmond Town Hall, Melbourne – No clear primary topic, the London one has 35 views, the NY one has 17 and the NH one has 8[[1]]. There also appears to be several others such as one in Rhode Island. Google results are mixed between the London and NY one but that's probably because of my location.

  • Oppose. Looking at the use over the past year, this town hall is the primary topic - Old Town Hall, Richmond does have significant use, but it's name is "Old Town Hall" disambiguated with "Richmond", and I don't believe it is similar enough to be relevant.

  • Oppose, per BM above this one is hands-down the primary topic. Daniel Case (talk) 04:54, 3 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. No clear primary topic, with Old Town Hall, Richmond (which was, of course, referred to as Richmond Town Hall until 1965 and probably still is!), Richmond Town Hall, North Yorkshire and Richmond Town Hall (New Hampshire). The ngram shows it definitely does not meet the pageview criterion of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (A topic is primary for a term with respect to usage if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. - clearly not!) and it definitely doesn't meet the long-term significance criterion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:38, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • For the record the Australian one is 56, I missed that (but putting the dates listed for the same time-frame as the original timestamp) but yes its still not more than the others combined unless you discount the London one for including "Old" but the 1st Google returns is the London one. Also there is the Rhode Island one as noted and perhaps others which may bring the views down. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:29, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as these are fairly low traffic articles, so I don't see a common name anywhere. Richmond Town Hall would have to be turned into a DAB page afterwards, which isn't in the nom right now; figured I'd bring that up. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 21:58, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. A clear case of The Problem With Page Views. That's the only evidence for this being the primary topic, and it is insufficient by a long way. Andrewa (talk) 22:58, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
