– Clearly WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It is a town, and it is the only municipality with this name (three other has only similar names). FromCzech (talk) 14:35, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

cs:Štěpánov shows a much larger list of locations with this name. Is this one really the most likely to be searched for by readers? https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=%C5%A0t%C4%9Bp%C3%A1nov doesn't show anything, so it looks like this doesn't get any appreciable amount of traffic? --Joy (talk) 13:57, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Compare Štěpánov with Trhový Štěpánov is like compare Orleans and New Orleans. Trhový is an integral part of the name, there is only one town named Štěpánov. FromCzech (talk) 14:27, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Yep. As for the other places listed on the cs.wiki dab page, those are just parts of municipalities, they wouldn't be the primary topic over a small town. – filelakeshoe (t / c) 🐱 14:55, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

The question is whether the small town is the primary topic over the sum of all other eponymous places. --Joy (talk) 17:55, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Yes, but that can also be fine if the one mononymously known as the term isn't satisfying WP:PTOPIC, because WP:PTM says: Placenames are often divided between a specific and generic part, for example North Carolina (where "Carolina" is the specific, and "North" the generic part). Common generics are compass points, upper/lower, old/new, big/small, etc. It is entirely proper to include such placenames in disambiguation pages with the specific title (North Carolina is properly listed at Carolina (disambiguation)). --Joy (talk) 17:54, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
