merge with Playa Grande Ixcán

[edit]

The correct name of the municipality is Playa Grande Ixcán. I created a page by that name. I suggest that this page be deleted.r3 00:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clear to me which (if any) of the two major articles (this one or Playa Grande, Costa Rica) is the primary topic. This one has more links, but that seems to be because of the transcluded template Template:Quiché Department; if you normalize for that template, they both have only a small number of incoming links, and both nearly the same; that suggests that an incoming link count not a very good criterion to apply in this case.
Looking just at last month's traffic, Playa Grande, Costa Rica got almost 3x the traffic this article did (see [1], 704 hits on Playa Grande, Costa Rica; compared to [2], only 246 hits on Playa Grande); and since this article's name is not qualified, many of those 246 hits may have been from readers looking for the other article, so the 246 number is presumably an inflated number. If you must determine a primary topic, it would seem to be Playa Grande, Costa Rica.
Given the low traffic overall, however, I'd be reluctant to call this dispositive, and I think it's a better call to conclude that there is no primary topic, and the DAB page should be moved to (and continue to redirect to) Playa Grande, and this article be given a qualified name. I suggest that the name should be Playa Grande, Ixcán or Playa Grande, Guatamala, however. TJRC (talk) 22:19, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
