Duns (disambiguation) → Duns
Duns → Duns, Scottish Borders

– No primary topic for "Duns", the countable noun dun gets nearly as many views (1,115) v 1,411 for the town (with a population of only 2,710). Data Universal Numbering System gets 7,038 and even a Google search from England returns most results for it though that's just an abbreviation and it is primary for the upper case DUNS per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Duns Scotus (a PTM) also gets 4,898 views[[1]]. Images is mixed between the town and fort. Books returns only John Duns and Duns Scotus though they are both PTMs. Per WP:PLURALPT a plural form should not normally point to a completely different place to its equivalent singular. Move the town to Duns, Scottish Borders. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:52, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Crouch, Swale: Better discuss. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:40, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Based on similar discussions most have been moved for example Novae and Grays but if you think this needs discussing that's fine. Crouch, Swale (talk) 21:55, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support – the town is Scotland does not appear to be primarytopic. Dicklyon (talk) 22:14, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nomination and Dicklyon. The sparsely-populated town is not in a position to force the use of "(disambiguation)". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:04, 3 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
