As noted in the article, Dungiven has an overwhelming catholic majority-over 96%. Why is it then that Dungiven is said to be in County Londonderry when practically no-one in the town calls it that? It should remain as Dungiven, County Derry, reflecting the use of the name by the people who actually live in the town —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puredavid (talk • contribs) 20:19, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Reverted to consensus and actual county name per WP:IMOS. Canterbury Tail talk 21:47, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

It is not the actual county name, as it is obvious that either title is allowed. However, I suggested a resolution to this problem, as can be read above, wheras this person is merely enforcing their own view and is unwilling to engage in discussion —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puredavid (talk • contribs) 22:24, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

Why is it that this article is allowed to exist without the input of the people who live in the town? County Derry, ask anyone who lives in Dungiven, that's what you'll hear. However, those editing it to Londonderry have never been to this town and refuse to listen —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puredavid (talk • contribs) 23:22, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

As has been pointed out to you there is a community consensus based mainly on the fact there has never been a County Derry in the history of Ireland. See WP:IMOS. Canterbury Tail talk 01:46, 1 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Again, that is not a fact and will remain not a fact no matter how many times you say it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Puredavid (talk • contribs) 01:47, 1 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Actually it is fact. County Coleraine predated County Londonderry, not a County Derry. Canterbury Tail talk 01:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)Reply
