BiH town primary topic?[edit]

Kaktus999 (talk · contribs) fully disambiguated this, moving away the Bosnian town, but the only explanation was Settlements in Croatia and Slovenia also called Visoko. Their existence is undisputed, but none of those settlements exceed a thousand inhabitants, while the .hr municipality exceeds it together with its surroundings. OTOH, the Bosnian town article asserts (without reference, though) that the its population is "currently" around 17,000, with a multiple of that in the surroundings. That looks like WP:PRIMARYTOPIC material to me. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 18:09, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Population itself is not a criterion for primary-ness, but can certainly influence the criteria that are there (traffic on English Wikipedia, coverage in English-language news, books, and journals). -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:39, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, yes, I'm really just using it as an indicator - it's doubtful that any of those smaller settlements could ever be (or have been) as significant as the largest one in .ba. At least their articles don't indicate anything to the contrary. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 19:01, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Interestingly enough, Visoko is also a dab on Bosnian (?!), Croatian, German, French and Dutch Wikipedia. This is flat-out wrong in the Bosnian case and, if Google test is any criterion (say, in the first 20 hits, are there any that don't point to Visoko, B&H?), it is not quite right in the rest of these.

– The Bosnian town is the primary topic for 'Visoko'. Apart from the size (17,000:1,500 residents) compared to the next competitor (Visoko, Varaždin County), the Bosnian town is of historical importance (Old town of Visoki) and, um, another kind of importance (Bosnian pyramids).

The first and only Google hit for the Croatian town is at #24; of first 50, ~40 refer to the Bosnian town (wikt:visoko means 'high' in Serbo-Croatian, that's the rest). The situation is the same at Google books. See also section above. No such user (talk) 07:33, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

post-move[edit]

These days we have the meta:Research:Wikipedia clickstream, and I checked for the hatnote in the clickstream archive for the last five months, and there isn't a single mention, so the hatnote clicks are beneath the anonymization thresholds at best. --Joy (talk) 15:10, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
