Category talk:Parliamentary constituencies in England

Renaming proposal

 * Category:Parliamentary constituencies in England to Category:Westminster Parliamentary constituencies in England – C2C: per convention of Category:Constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The sibling categories for the other constituent countries of the United Kingdom all use the "Westminster" prefix, to distinguish them both from the historic and devolved parliaments/assemblies (which don't exist in England), and from the European Parliament constituencies, which do exist in England: see Category:European Parliament constituencies in England.

 * Oppose, would make far more sense t use "United Kingdom Parliamentary constituencies...", as there is a United Kingdom Parliament, and there isn't, except very casually, a Westminster Parliament. Indeed "Westminster Parliamentary" implies the system exported around the world, rather than the specific one that at the moment sits in the City of Westminster.

 * Oppose. "United Kingdom Parliamentary constituencies" is more often used in subcategories of Category:Constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom than is "Westminster Parliamentary constituencies". Ham II (talk) 19:44, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose Simply "Parliament" is overwhelmingly the WP:COMMONNAME in England and there's no ambiguity except for the 9% of people in Scotland where they have a Scottish Parliament as well (Wales & NI have an Assembly) - the whole "Westminster Parliament" thing is a)informal and b)has a bit of a nationalist edge to it, whereas unionists will often use the formal term "United Kingdom Parliament" (but not exclusively). There's no ambiguity with the European Parliament, the two are never confused - the European constituencies are completely different (being equivalent to 50+ national constituencies) and MP/MEP are the standard abbreviations for members.Le Deluge (talk) 09:44, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I'd rather there be a consistent style for UK Parliamentary constituency categories in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland – preferably "United Kingdom Parliament constituencies" or "UK Parliament constituencies" over anything with the word "parliamentary", to go with "European Parliament constituencies" and "Scottish Parliament constituencies". "UK Parliament constituency" is the term used for disambiguating article titles and is also nice and brief. For what it's worth, the WikiProject on this topic is titled WikiProject UK Parliament constituencies; its members might well have something to add to this discussion.
