Considering this is a RL location and many could claim it, I'm taking the liberty to add sections for our individual nations. If you want an article of your own, create an article Southampton (Willink). Then I'm going to do the same for my nation and this page will become a disambig page. However, if it's all right with you to have several nations' Southamptons on this page, that'll safe a lot of work.
Um, no? I am the original creator of the page, ignoring the fact my Southampton far outsizes both yours, and Matt's (Whom I talked to about it moments ago), which, in turn stays in line with the importance policy of any encyclopedic entity (Why Toronto, on Wikipedia takes you to Toronto, Canada, rather than a disambiguation page or Toronto, Indiana). If you wish to create your own Southampton page, I will create a disambiguation page from which a link to yours will be provided. Willink 19:33, 4 September 2007 (GMT)
