Category[edit]

As more items listed are place names rather than persons' names, I've changed the notice at the bottom to use Template:Geodis rather than Template:Hndis. Bazza 14:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC) to je sranje[reply]

Chelsea should link to Chelsea F.C.[edit]

IMO Chelsea should redirect to Chelsea FC with a link at the top to go to the disambiguation page

Since when has a football club been the primary use of a place name over and above the actual city or area it is named after?! --kingboyk (talk) 09:47, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:I disagree. The word 'Chelsea' amounts to more than a football club. Thus, it shouldn't take priority.

I agree, and by democracy, I will put it up there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tk TommyKim (talk • contribs) 15:41, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

Chelsea should direct the viewer to the page for the London borough of Chelsea, for two very good reasons:

Firstly, that's the standard approach for other places which are London boroughs (c.f. Greenwich, Westminister).

Secondly, everything on this list is named, directly or indirectly, after the London borough of Chelsea, which I think should give it primacy.

Re: Again, while the area of London's use of Chelsea is considerably prominent, there are many other unrelated but highly relevant uses for the word, as shown by other such areas in America and/or organizations that are perhaps arguably more known for the use of Chelsea. As such, the area of London shouldn't take priority. 195.92.40.49 13:56, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most, if not all, of the other Chelseas do derive from the one in London. But that does not give the name primacy. To have prime usage, the unqualified name must be clearly understood by the English speaking world to mean one thing. Even if it were not for the clear ambiguity between Chelsea F.C. and Chelsea, London, there are other suggestions available that this isn't the case. For example Bill and Hilary Clinton named their daughter after the song Chelsea Mornings, which is itself named after the Manhattan district of Chelsea; this is (probably) named after Chelsea Pottery, which is named after Chelsea in London. Clearly a fair number of different unqualified usages there. -- Chris j wood (talk) 16:14, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Origin[edit]

A user posted this heading with no text under it but with an edit summary I'll reproduce here to be nice: Given the proliferation of the name/term, could someone add more info on the origen of the name/term? Largoplazo (talk) 10:14, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
