Talk:Tweed Heads, New South Wales

Tweed Heads is not known for its golden beaches
In fact there is only one beach in Tweed Heads, Duranbah Beach. This is why I have edited the article.

The title Tweed Heads, New South Wales needs to be modified with the addition of "Australia" after it so as to avoid confusion with "Wales" or "South Wales". by RealGriffo — Preceding unsigned comment added by RealGriffo (talk • contribs) 17:39, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Name of article
I'm just responding to the comment from RealGriffo, back in 2014, that the title needs to be 'Tweed Heads, Australia'. Maybe. But then again why not simply 'Tweed Heads', as, to my knowledge, there is only one location in the world entitled Tweed Heads, and the article itself explains quite clearly that this is located in Northern NSW, Australia. What do other editors think? Are there any relevant Wikipedia policies governing the naming of articles? Redaction101 (talk) 22:06, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
 * If there are no objections, I'll transfer this page to a new article, 'Tweed Heads, Australia' in another few months. Redaction101 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:50, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

"Evidence of notability" needed for a statement?
Hi Doctorhawkes, I note that you removed my add of the statement "It [Tweed Heads] was also the cited location of the "northern" cottage occupied by the principal characters in David Williamson's 1979 play Travelling North (but not in the subsequent film version, where the equivalent action was relocated to Port Douglas in Queensland)." citing "no indication of notability". Well, the play Travelling North is notable (seeing as it has its own WP article with ample independent external sourcing), and half of the action in the play is set in Tweed Heads, per the published text of the play; all of which is sourced in the article for Travelling North. I can re-insert the line/s including a reference to the published text if you like, or do you have something else in mind?

Also I note that the previous line "Tweed Heads was the location of fictional town Porpoise Spit in the 1994 movie Muriel's Wedding." has been left intact, although there is no citation for that...

 * Of course the notability of Travelling North (the play) has yet to be tested, since I only created the content for that page on 4 August (=3 August Wikipedia time) but I do not anticipate any problem in that regard... your mileage may vary! Tony 1212 (talk) 00:34, 8 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I have little doubt the play is notable, and perhaps Tweed would be mentioned in that article, but is the location of the cottage notable? Would a newspaper or other reliable source writing about Tweed include that information? I guess not.
 * The inclusion of Porpoise Spit is not an argument for keeping. See WP:OTHERCONTENT. I wouldn't argue if you felt that should be deleted also.
 * Off=topic: Wow, you've done a great job with Travelling North.Doctorhawkes (talk) 07:42, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliment :) RE is the location of the cottage notable... I cannot answer that, but the identification of "north" for the context of the play (specifically its climate, light, character of its residents, and overall lifestyle and "feel") might be. And Tweed Heads does form some of the context with its RSL and some other aspects mentioned... I guess my interest was piqued when I noticed that a local theatre was doing a production because of the "local setting" for the action. I think folks familiar only with the film might be surprised to learn that the location was changed for that. I just thought it was sort of reciprocal- Tweed Heads is linked from the play article, we do the same in reverse as well. But it is not a live or die situation for me, I am happy either way.

 * Interesting to observe that the character/s in "Travelling North" really want to be there, while in "Muriel's Wedding" they (she) cannot wait to get away for the big city. The Muriel's reference really needed a citation, I have just added one, of several that are around...
