Redirect of Rural to Rural area[edit]

I notice that while urban is a disambiguation page, rural currently redirects to rural area. The meaning of rural is pretty close to being NOT urban, so although both urban and rural are adjectives, rather than nouns, both should be treated in a similar way and each term should have an article. I wonder why is Wikipedia asynchronous in this matter?

Also when the content of this talk page was moved to Talk:Rural area, the rating of the term Rural was moved too. While the commentary clearly relates to the article, the ratings originally related to the term Rural rather than Rural area. So I have put the original rating back. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:45, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is now a Rural (disambiguation) page as well as an article about Rurality. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 02:23, 9 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
