You're not talking about mine, are you? :) I'm happy to beat people with a fixed rule, but I'd like more confirmation that this rule actually exists and is accepted by the community. There is the guideline on disambig pages, but it's fairly vague. A hard-line "a city does *not* get priority over a cheese if most people would expect the cheese" would be helpful.
'Accepted by the community' is a hard one - partly because any preference based on common use runs into a strong nationalist and anti-US sentiment among certain users, despite common English usage being generally preferable according to our naming conventions.
