editA HBC councillor has joined Reform UK. Can somebody update the article for this?
Merger Proposal
editI propose we merge the article for the borough into this one for the council. Unlike most other towns with a borough and town article the population of Hartlepool's borough is roughly 96% in the town itself (defined as the Built-up area). Which is greater than other towns like York and Sheffield which only have one article. Eopsid (talk) 18:04, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support reverse merge for the same reasons as at Talk:Darlington Borough Council#Merger Proposal. Crouch, Swale (talk) 19:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support reverse merge per CS above but to the same effect. Council should be merged into Borough article. Koncorde (talk) 00:12, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support reverse merge - seems anomalous having separate article for council, it should just be a section within article on borough. Drerac (talk) 16:25, 2 April 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose: By the logic of percentages that the proposer proposes, the City of London should be reverse merged with London, as the former takes up 0.1% of the area of the latter. UaMaol (talk) 05:22, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
- Not really a comparable situation, the Borough of Hartlepool contains all of Hartlepool's Built-up area. The city of London and Greater London do not. Eopsid (talk) 11:09, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
