Big cities usually work a lot better than small towns or medium sized
cities, where inclusion of local places are often reverted due to lack
of assertions of notability.

English Wikipeidia user Chzz inspired an essay that I host, for new users

We use the essay to reference people trying to create or edit articles that
they have a conflict of interest with to get them started editing Wikipedia
as an encyclopedia instead of a motivate-driven platform.
