– Cleary the one in London is primary, and does not need the DAB page. I'm led to believe that Google Maps in its infinite wisdom translates things like Rue into "street", it certainly does for most European places, so your SatNav ends up with nonsense like "Barcelona Road". The second entry, Rue des Lombards is not called "Lombard Street" by a London taxi-driver (won't go sarf of the river, not at this time o' night) or anyone else. The third entry, Petworth, has a picture capped "Lombard Street" but no more information about it.

Funnily enough, H. Rochester Sneath came from "nr. Petworth" although he usually had his correspondence addressed to his sister. Not mentioned at article, absolutely no need for this DAB. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 11:09, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Er I put in to WP:RM so now someone moved it elsewhere? OK here is the argument, it does not need a DAB, cut it The Rue in Paris is never known as "Lombard Street" which leaves us two, thence we don't need a DAB by WP:TWODABS. The third has a pic with a cap that says it shows Lombard Street in Petworth, but has nothing to say about it in the text. The only notable Lombard Street is that in London. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 11:13, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, there are various redirects etc that fooled the search engine and me. I've listed it properly now. 85.67.32.244 (talk) 11:19, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I don't live in London, but I do live in the UK, and the Lombard Street that always comes to mind is Lombard Street (San Francisco), which has more pageviews. -- AxG / ✉ 12:45, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, per User:AxG. 162 etc. (talk) 14:39, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose the San Francisco has 8,982 views compared with only 852[[1]] for the London one. Even Google from Suffolk returns many results for the San Francisco one with the WP article for San Francisco before the WP article for the London one.

Oppose not primary over the San Francisco street. As the nom doesn't even mention that, this is approaching "nomination clearly made in error" SNOW close territory. User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 00:38, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
