• Birchwood → Birchwood, Cheshire

– Similar to Talk:Beechwood#Requested move 14 May 2022 (thought that was somewhat the reverse request namely to remove the tree primary redirect). I don't think there is a clear primary topic for "Birchwood". This one has 1,201 views but the village in Wisconsin has 285 views, the Tennessee one has 131, the Lincoln one has 56, the New Zealand one has 25, the Wisconsin town has 15, the Alaska one has 6, the Arlington, Virginia one has 3 and the Kewaunee County, Wisconsin one has 2. Birch has 16,964, Selwyn Birchwood has 332 and Birchwood Village, Minnesota has 51. In terms of long-term significance the tree probably has more even though its claim on "Birchwood" is far less. Google returns many results for things without articles though the WP article for the place in Cheshire does come up, Images mainly shows the tree and Books returns the novel first.

• Support for the reasons above. ╠╣uw [talk] 23:52, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
• Support per nomination and ╠╣uw. There are 17 entries listed upon the Birchwood (disambiguation) page, with little indication that the civil parish (population 12,325) has such renown that it overshadows the combined notability of the remaining 16 entries. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:29, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose: Birchwood's place in the history of the Nuclear industry is worthy of expansion. It's population is significantly larger than any other Birchwood place on the list, and the working population it supports through its industry links will be far greater still. Not sure why Birch is relevant. Birchwood as the wood is at best a spelling mistake, and it's own article doesn't mention the word at all. YorkshireExpat (talk) 09:29, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

  Birch is relevant as its wood in "Birchwood" so its not a spelling mistake and there must have been a similar reason Beechwood formerly redirected to Beech. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

• Support if there is a priamry topic, it is the wood of a birch -- 65.92.247.66 (talk) 08:00, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
