  1. Support. Matches Right Bank and Left Bank. Vegaswikian 21:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
  2. Against, but that might be a purely local PoV. I feel the proliferation of ***, London's is a nuisance, and in many case they are the primary usage. Kbthompson 00:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  3. Oppose, are any as significant? MRSCTalk 07:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
  4. Oppose - do any of the others have a world famous arts centre named after them? Or a university, a television centre, a long-running TV series, etc? Crazysuit 02:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
  5. Support per Nom and Vegaswikian. It is consistent with right and left bank and the other South banks are notable. It is a bit UK-centric to think that the london south bank is the only one. 205.157.110.11 23:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
  6. Oppose This seems to be significantly the best-known South Bank of those listed on South Bank (disambiguation). HeartofaDog 23:39, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
