Bolton Metropolitan Council election, 2012 → Bolton Council election, 2012 – Revert to original title which follows long-established pattern (see Category:Council elections in Bolton and Category:Council elections in Greater Manchester). Without any WP:Consensus, the page was WP:BOLDly moved by an editor who then edited the redirect with the result that the move could not be reverted. The user hasn't even got the page they moved correctly anyway by not including the word "Borough" in the title. There have been a batch of similar pattern-breaking page moves, as can be seen at the bold editor's contributions list. HLE (talk) 22:21, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Support, disruptive move, needs to be consistent with countless other articles.J3Mrs (talk) 19:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Please assume good faith. I did this following guidance from another editor. Said editor has now ran off with his tail between his legs.  Lugnuts  (talk) 19:17, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support for consistency, although the consistent titles are flawed in having capital C for council. In two-tier areas some of the current titles are darned confusing.  Any change should be a universal one not a change to one page. Sussexonian (talk) 20:36, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
