Talk:Guildford

County Town

Isn't there somne doubt whether Guildford is the county town of Surrey? The county council is actually situated in Kingston. If there isn't a source for this should we not clarify this?

Spectrum

Is the Spectrum Leisure Centre the same place as the "Spectrum" that houses the Guildford Flames? --Smack (talk) 20:09, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is, The Spectrum Leisure Centre is the full name but it is mostly known as "The Spectrum" or "Spectrum" (by locals at least). KingGorack 22:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Guildford (disambiguation) → Guildford - I'm trying to turn a primary-topic disambiguation into an equal disambiguation --Smack (talk) 20:18, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose the move, and the move of Guildford to Guildford, England, which I've reversed while this move is being discussed. Virtually all the links to Guildford are for the important English town, which is much more important than either of the Australian suburbs. This fits primary topic disambiguation perfectly. sjorford (talk) 23:44, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A town of 130,000 is inherently a primary topic compared to a suburb of Sydney with estimated area of 1/8 of a square kilometre (figured out using locations and MSN MapQuest, so may be slightly off), somewhat smaller than Vatican City, or a suburb of Perth which is one of 40 suburbs in the LGA of Swan, which again is one of 30 LGAs of Perth. On average, that would mean 1,250 people in each of these suburbs, so significantly smaller than Guildford, Surrey. Sam Vimes 00:34, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, aside from being considerably smaller, the other Guilfords undoubtedly derive their name from the original. This is very good candidate for remaining as primary topic disambiguation. older≠wiser 13:19, 29 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
