Objection. Not specific. Market Street would be a similar example, or Council House, or any random place that is common amongst numerous locations. Hauptbahnhof means Main Railway Station. That's be then in thousands of locations. Put a city or town name before it and it may be acceptable.

I'm not sure if you play this game often enough to be in charge of the rules.

If I was in charge then I wouldn't make an objection, I'd just tell you to try again. I wasn't aware that logically then, the one with the most posts would be the rule maker. If you count them all up and make an excel spreadsheet I'll bow to the top person. On the other hand, would it be acceptable to write "Gare" and leave it at that?

As a pedant Iโm with Mark on this.
I could simply put Town Hall as an important place in the UK but itโs hardly geographical.
See first post by imec who set it up.

Deneysville, situated on the Free State side of the Vaal River, is the largest town on the Vaal Dam in South Africa. It is a special place for me as I spent my early years there whilst my father attended to the Flying Boats as a B.O.A.C ground engineer.

Can we rule out names with 'ville' ? Ville means city. Drummondville : city of Drummond. Whatagainville : town of Whatagain.
Gare du Nird has been accepted, if I recall correctly, maybe the guy making the Excell sheet could look it up.
So Koeln Hauptbanhof could then be eligible, as is Elisabethville etc.
