City of NewcastleCity of Newcastle (New South Wales) – the primary topic for "City of Newcastle" is the English city of "Newcastle upon Tyne".
See for example JSTOR: 390 hits for "City of Newcastle", but only 62 hits for "City of Newcastle" AND "New South Wales".
Or see Gbooks: @380 hits for "City of Newcastle", but only 184 hits for "City of Newcastle" "New South Wales".
The bare title "City of Newcastle" should be either a disambiguation page, or a redirect to Newcastle upon Tyne. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:32, 13 July 2020 (UTC) Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 00:21, 4 August 2020 (UTC) Relisting.  — Amakuru (talk) 20:35, 18 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

readers looking for "City of Newcastle" will mostly not be looking for a place in NSW. - Why wouldn't they be? "Newcastle upon Tyne" is not "City of Newcastle". If readers are looking for Newcastle upon Tyne they'll search for that or just "Newcastle". I'm afraid you haven't convinced me. --AussieLegend () 18:28, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Either way, none is significantly larger than the other to qualify as the primary topic. Bromptop (talk) 06:48, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Size isn't how we determine the primary topic. Technically there is only one "City of Newcastle" and it's the Australian one, which is commonly referred to "City of Newcastle" to disambiguate it from the Newcastle metropolitan area, which includes other LGAs. Newcastle upon Tyne shouldn't even be considered. --AussieLegend () 08:18, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Technically there is only one "City of Newcastle" and it's the Australian one... As has been pointed out below, this is not the case. Just because the English city officially has "upon Tyne" at the end of it doesn't mean it isn't also called the City of Newcastle! -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:12, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Technically it is correct. As you have pointed out, the British city has "upon Tyne" attached to City of Newcastle. The Australian city does not. They are two different names. As pointed out elsewhere, the British cityis commonly referred to as "Newcastle", not "City of Newcastle". --AussieLegend () 09:16, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not ambiguous at all. As has been explained above, there is only one "City of Newcastle" so it can't be ambiguous. --AussieLegend () 08:42, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As I noted on the 19th this is ambiguous. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:41, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And has been noted in response, it's not ambiguous because anyone looking for the UK Newcastle would be looking for "Newcastle", not "City of Newcastle". --AussieLegend () 18:23, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
