– WP:ASTONISH. I don't think a village with 849 people is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for such a common term. None of my first 50 Google Search and Google Books results for "steep -wikipedia" are about this village, and only one of my first 50 DuckDuckGo search results are about this village. See also Talk:Wells, Somerset for a similar move request concerning a city in England. sst ✈(conjugate) 16:55, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Steep → Steep, Hampshire
 * Steep (disambiguation) → Steep
 * Retain I don't see any problem with the name or note any confusion with its adjective. There are dozens of Hampshire villages I can pick out with simple names like this one, such as Wield. JAG  UAR   17:09, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Wield (disambiguation) is a red link. There are few if any topics that can be confused with the place in Hampshire. "[place], Hampshire" is also consistent with many page titles listed on the List of places in Hampshire. sst ✈(conjugate) 02:23, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support looks like a potential mislink magnet, population of 900, no. In ictu oculi (talk) 00:04, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. I don't see how such a tiny place meets the primary topic criteria. Talk:Settle, North Yorkshire provides another example. Egsan Bacon (talk) 04:47, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. WP:USPLACE and not primary topic, since the verb "steep" is very common in cooking -- 70.51.200.135 (talk) 05:39, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:USPLACE only applies to US places, as the name suggests. WaggersTALK  15:56, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It's times like these that I wish Americans would have their own version of Wikipedia. JAG  UAR   19:35, 18 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Support per nom; clear absence of a primary topic, given that only a very small proportion of uses of the word "steep" are references to the village. bd2412  T 22:53, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
