Support - seems a fairly textbook case of one clear primary topic. Knepflerle (talk) 15:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Support - Original, largest, and best known town with this name. Also the hometown of the author Thomas Paine. 71.106.183.124 (talk) 20:51, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Support probably the best alternative as the largest settlement NSH001 (talk) 21:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

Note if this move goes ahead, the dab page currently at Thetford will need to be moved to Thetford (disambiguation) NSH001 (talk) 21:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Almost everything that links to Thetford actually refers to the Norfolk town, so if this move goes ahead, there will be a lot less work disambiguating all the links. NSH001 (talk) 21:37, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
