– Clearly WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It is a town, and it is the only municipality with this name (three other has only similar names). FromCzech (talk) 14:35, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Štěpánov (Olomouc District) → Štěpánov

 * cs:Štěpánov shows a much larger list of locations with this name. Is this one really the most likely to be searched for by readers? https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=%C5%A0t%C4%9Bp%C3%A1nov doesn't show anything, so it looks like this doesn't get any appreciable amount of traffic? --Joy (talk) 13:57, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Compare Štěpánov with Trhový Štěpánov is like compare Orleans and New Orleans. Trhový is an integral part of the name, there is only one town named Štěpánov. FromCzech (talk) 14:27, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yep. As for the other places listed on the cs.wiki dab page, those are just parts of municipalities, they wouldn't be the primary topic over a small town. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 14:55, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The question is whether the small town is the primary topic over the sum of all other eponymous places. --Joy (talk) 17:55, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that can also be fine if the one mononymously known as the term isn't satisfying WP:PTOPIC, because WP:PTM says: Placenames are often divided between a specific and generic part, for example North Carolina (where "Carolina" is the specific, and "North" the generic part). Common generics are compass points, upper/lower, old/new, big/small, etc. It is entirely proper to include such placenames in disambiguation pages with the specific title (North Carolina is properly listed at Carolina (disambiguation)). --Joy (talk) 17:54, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
