Dalston (disambiguation) → Dalston
Dalston → Dalston, London

– While the district in London is larger and gets more views, the village in Cumbria is also large. The village appears on a 11.52 miles to 1 inch A-Z while the London one isn't even on a 3.5 miles to 1 inch. A Google Book search is split and while a Google search today shows most for London, in 2011, from Suffolk it gave many results for Cumbria. When the Cumbria article was created, it was created at Dalston in place of the London one. Crouch, Swale (talk) 08:59, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The area of London seems to be the primary topic, with 10 times the number of page views of the village in Cumbria (123 compared to 12; others are no more than 1.1 each). It's less conclusive from other searches - Google Books show more results for Dalston in London, but it doesn't dominate in the same way - but the London area has become more prominent in recent years whereas the Cumbrian village may have more history (as a parish, unlike Dalston in London) but no more than many large villages and doesn't appear to be well known for anything.

The village in Cumbria known for Dalston Hall/Rose Castle and Dalston baronets. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:17, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not only do the statistics show that the Cumbrian village gets only 10% of the views of the London district, they also show that Dalston (disambiguation) gets less than 1%. So very few people are visiting an article that they weren't looking for. Page views aren't everything, but when the ratios are as large as 100:10:1 they can't be ignored. Also, inclusion on a map isn't determined solely by importance or size, it's also determined by proximity to other similar places. Significant places in London are too close together to show them all on a map, whereas in Cumbria they tend to be well separated. -- Dr Greg talk 18:19, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
