Wilmington, Will County, Illinois → Wilmington, Illinois – Being the larger Wilmington, IL by a significant margin, I believe it would be better to move this page to Wilmington, Illinois and add a "For the village in Greene County, see Wilmington, Greene County, Illinois" to the top of the page.

Support: A ~18:1 pageview ratio may be sufficient for a WP:PDABPRIMARY. JohnCWiesenthal (talk) 14:24, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Wilmington, Illinois is incomplete disambiguation and should be, as it currently is, main title header of the Wilmington, Illinois dab page. Analogous to Wilmington Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania and Wilmington Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, not simply Wilmington Township, Pennsylvania (likewise a dab page) for the more populous place. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:56, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Support per nom. Usage here supports a primarytopic. Also per WP:TWODABS. Dohn joe (talk) 15:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support: Agree that Will County's Wilmington should be the primary topic based on the large difference in both page views and population. A link to Greene County at the top of the page is sufficient to clear up any unlikely confusion that may arise after the move. Glennyoaks23 (talk) 19:52, 3 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
