Talk:Hillsborough, Sheffield

Page move edit

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: move. There seems to be slightly more support for the suggest name and it's supported by a reasonably stable guideline so consensus is clear to me. Dpmuk (talk) 23:49, 16 December 2010 (UTC)Reply



Hillsborough, South YorkshireHillsborough, Sheffield — As a suburb of the city the more specific name would be better. User:Mtaylor848 20:34, 17 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

I agree, the same can be said for Loxley, South Yorkshire which is also wholly within the city boundary. Mick Knapton (talk) 08:10, 18 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose No reason given why "the more specific name would be better". It's not as if there are two Hillsboroughs in South Yorkshire. Skinsmoke (talk) 13:08, 18 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose we do not need to narrow it down to any specific place. Keith D (talk) 18:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Support, this seems to be a fairly typical case where we use the city as disambiguator for a place which is unambiguously part of the city (see WP:NCGN#England and past discussion on the subject - it's far more natural and helpful to identify the place as part of the city, which is how people know it, than as part of the county, which is not how most people know it).--Kotniski (talk) 14:48, 25 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge with Hillsborough Primary School edit

Non-notable primary school; building is listed, but only Grade 2. Tacyarg (talk) 20:23, 20 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

Oppose, on the grounds that such a 136 year old school in a Grade 2 listed building is notable. Klbrain (talk) 09:37, 8 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
