Vicksburg → Vicksburg (disambiguation)
Vicksburg → primary redirect to Vicksburg, Mississippi – The city in Mississippi is clearly the primary topic because of the pageview statistics and the historical significance. The second most viewed place called "Vicksburg" is a city in Michigan of which the MS city gets on average more than 25x more daily views than, and the rest are unincorporated communities.

• Support. The Mississippi city does appear to be primary. ╠╣uw [talk] 10:46, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support. I agree the Mississippi city is the primary topic. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:04, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support per nom and above comments. Randy Kryn (talk) 01:49, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support. The Mississippi city is also historically significant for its role in the Civil War. That may contribute to the dominance in page views, but would count for primacy whether it did or did not. bd2412 T 02:42, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose. "Vicksburg" can be shorthand reference to the siege of Vicksburg our for the overall campaign. The siege article gets more page views than the city and the campaign about half as much. [1] I think disambiguation works best in this case. older ≠ wiser 10:59, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose per User:Bkonrad. "Vicksburg" is also shorthand for the campaign and the siege in the War of Northern Aggression, and according to these pageview results, those two topics together get more views than the city page. —  AjaxSmack  01:55, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose per Bkonrad and AjaxSmack. No clear primary topic.--Aervanath (talk) 15:02, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
• Comment I have vacated the NAC close by Zppix and relisted the discussion. Primefac (talk) 16:20, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose I don't feel the town is more notable than the Siege of Vicksburg. A similar discussion at Appomattox had no consensus for any primary topic in August. power~enwiki (π, ν) 01:51, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
• Support. The page views among title matches are overwhelmingly in favor of the Mississippi city as the primary topic. And the Siege of Vicksburg is about the city, anyway. kennethaw88 • talk 06:21, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

• kennethaw88 Huh? [2] The civil war era page views far outstrip the city, and the articles about the civil war conflict most certainly are not about the city. older ≠ wiser.
