Botou, Hebei → Botou – Note that the current DAB page should be deleted as it is not necessary to have one at X (disambiguation) when there is only one other topic named X. 1) Article traffic: From January to May 2011, "Botou City, Hebei", combined with "Botou, Hebei", was viewed 1,471 times as compared to Botou, Burkina Faso, which received 457 views in the same period.
2) Google mainline:

• • For Botou, Hebei: Combining "Botou City", "Botou Hebei", "Botou City Hebei", "Botou Cangzhou" and "Botou City Cangzhou" yields 2,765,000 results. Note that I excluded "Botou China" or variations of it. Not a single one of these search terms yields less than 100,000 results
  • For Botou, Burkina Faso: "Botou Burkina Faso", "Botou Gnagna", "Botou Gnagna Province", "Botou Bilanga" and "Botou Bilanga Department" give around 100,000 results.

• Comment. Leaning oppose. A 2:1 ratio is not, as I understand it, enough to demonstrate the Hebei city is the clear primary topic. That said the Hebei city does seem to be much more important that the Burkina Faso town, so I will await further comment from the nominator. Jenks24 (talk) 17:03, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Hmmm, with the addition of the google results and taking into account that Hebei city seems to be much larger than the Burkina Faso town, I believe it does meet the definition of primary topic. Support. Jenks24 (talk) 18:53, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

• Support per nom. The city in China has about 300x the population of the Burkinabe town. All other things about equal, that's a primary topic. Also, delete the disambiguation page per WP:TWODABS. I'll add a hatnote now at the Chinese city page to replace it.[1] —  AjaxSmack  18:46, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
