– The island is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term "Samar". The province is normally referred to as Samar Province or even Western Samar province and is only one of three local government units in the island.--RioHondo (talk) 07:45, 2 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

SamarSamar Island – Fails WP:PRIMARYTOPIC: A topic is primary for a term, with respect to usage, if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term.. While there was clear support for Samar->Samar (province), there was not that much for having the plain name be associated with the island. It was not at all discussed the importance of items from India or Israel. There are many people named Samar. Some links:

If until recently the province was thought of to be primary, then it probably was close in importance to the island. But if the two are close and many others exist, how can it be assured the current name does not violate WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? I will inform WikiProject India and Israel.

Island area

There is uncertainty about the land area of Negros and Samar, and depending on the source, one is larger than the other. See Talk:Negros (island)#Island area for discussion. -- P 1 9 9   18:06, 14 December 2015 (UTC)Reply
