I assume that bury is cognate with the German burg. Can anyone confirm this? Bastie 01:56, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bury (disambiguation) → Bury
Bury → Bury, Greater Manchester

– There is no clear primary topic here, while this is more significant than the other places called just "Bury" the name is too ambiguous for it to be primary. Leigh is a DAB rather than being about the one that's by far the largest-Leigh, Greater Manchester. While the main Google mainly returns the place in GM, a Google images search returns other things. A Google Books search returns mainly returns Bury St Edmunds (which gets more views than Bury, GM) and Burial. Similar issues have been debated for Wells, Nice, Settle, Barking, Yelling and Steep.

Support and agree there's no clear primary topic. ╠╣uw [talk] 12:38, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this is the primary topic, clearly the most important. The other meanings are either associated with this town or small obscure places. Leigh should be considered on its own merits. Google books might be a bit wonky, or their search criteria might not be the same as Wikipedia criteria for determining primary meaning. PatGallacher (talk) 00:20, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There aren't just small places, there's lots of other meanings, like those that I pointed out above, Newport is also a DAB even though the city in Wales is the 3rd largest in Wales. I doubt that a term this common would have a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by usage or long term significance. Crouch, Swale (talk) 07:57, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I also agree there is no clear primary topic here. Rreagan007 (talk) 02:54, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
