I propose that Budj Bim be merged into Mount Eccles. Budji Bim is an Australian Aboriginal word for the mountain. In VICNAMES, there is no listing of the name Budji Bim. I think that the content in the Budji Bim article can easily be explained in the context of Mount Eccles and also Mount Eccles National Park, and that both these articles are of a reasonable size that the merging of Budji Bim will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

But the Australian Aboriginal name Budj Bim pre-dates the Anglo-Australian name by (possibly) centuries. If people want to combine the two, then blend in the more recent Mount Eccles text as a 'recent' part of the Budj Bim history. Bazza37 (talk) 06:54, 21 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
Support the merge (as there is no agreement that it is the same place). The question of name is not one of precedence, but of common use. I count 166,000 uses of "Mount Eccles" for 16,400 of "Budj Bim" or "Budjbim". The National Park site has Mount Eccles as the name for the park ([1]) and usually "Budj Bim" for the dormant volcano ([2]). Melbourne tourist board uses Mount Eccles first ([3]). There was a proposal to change the official name to Budj Bim ([4])([5]), and while I haven't been able to track down a formal outcome, the Parks use seems to indicate acceptance of "Budj Bim" for the peak itself. Of the naming criteria (WP:NAMINGCRITERIA), Mount Eccles seems to have the lead on Recognizability (internationally), although the other criteria are finely balanced. Perhaps the "Naturalness" criterion, as of the last 12 months, favors "Budj Bim", particularly given that the Premier of Victoria seems to prefer the term ([6]) following the World Heritage nominations.
