Talk:Bouillon, Belgium

Talk of a Sale?

I was confused by the statement "The most famous of the Lords of Bouillon was Godfrey of Bouillon, who sold it to the Bishopric of Liege". What exactly did he sell? I can't tell what was sold from the context either so I can't update it other than to delete the sentence. --Tralfaz (Ralraz, yech) (talk) 20:32, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Based on the chronology, I changed 'it' to 'Bouillon Castle'.--Tralfaz (Ralraz, yech) (talk) 20:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

I assumed Godfrey sold the Bouillon "estate (and consulted the French Wiki version, since it seems to be the basis for much of the information in the English Wiki article, and it says that Godfrey "sold Bouillon") so I initially changed from Bouillon castle to Bouillon estate. According to the Lords of Bouillon article: "The Bouillon estate was a collection of fiefs, allodial land, and other rights. The collection included e.g. the allod villages of Bellevaux, Mogimont, Senseruth, and Assenois, the advocacy of the monastery of Saint-Hubert and Ardennes, and the land to the south of Bouillon, formerly the land of the abbey of Mouzon, now held as a fief of the Archbishop of Reims." But then in the chronology further down it states Godfrey sold the castle (and French version also says castle), so I undid change and made it again Bouillon Castle (and did not drill down in either English or French references to see if there is further clarification).

• Bouillon → Bouillon, Belgium
• Bouillon (disambiguation) → Bouillon

– The Belgian town isn't primary over all the other entries at Bouillon (disambiguation), in my view. According to the pageview data, the town's article received roughly 20k views in the last year, but Bouillon (broth) (despite being a redirect) received 11k views, Bouillon (restaurant) received 8.5k views, and Bouillon (soup) received nearly 6k views. If we consider that some readers may also be searching for related concepts such as Bouillon cube (101k views), it becomes even clearer that the Belgian town is not "highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for" "bouillon". And although the town certainly has a good deal of long-term significance, the topics mentioned above have been culturally important for decades or centuries, so they have some "enduring notability and educational value" as well. On balance, I don't see a clear primary topic, so moving the disambiguation page to the base title is the best option. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:34, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
