Actual Brigg Fair
Eventually I will start the article on the actual Brigg Fair (not sure when I have to admit). Should I move this article then to "Brigg Fair (folk song)" or can anyone suggest a better title? Thanks, E    Asterion  u talking to me? 20:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Brigg Fair (song) would be fine. If you followed the rule about "what the customer is most likely to be looking for when they type the name", you might decide that is the folk song and the fair should be Brigg Fair (fair), but that would be too &mdash; weird. Remember you also win the task of snapping the redirects (all four of them). David Brooks 03:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see your point. In all honesty I only found out about Brigg Fair when I moved to Hibaldstow, a nearby village, two and a half years ago. I did not know of the song till I visited this article but I'm not a normal customer as I was born abroad ;-) E    Asterion  u talking to me? 23:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Agree. The actual Brigg Fair deserves an article as its history goes back to around the 13th century and it was the inspiration for the folk song which, in turn, led to Delius' and Grainger's works.

 * So be bold! If you want to create the article, please create an account and sign in. This page should be renamed to Brigg Fair (folk song), but if you want someone else to help with that leave a note here. Then start the new one. Please include an about template at the top (e.g. .

 * ...(ETA) but please use your own words. You can't just copy the Lincolnshire County Council's web page. David Brooks (talk) 19:36, 25 February 2014 (UTC) (later fixed typo)


 * Oh, for heaven's sake, I should have looked sooner at Brigg. The fair is dealt with there (the horse fair seems to be the continuation of the traditional fair). If you still think it merits its own article, that's fine, but it should probably be rationalized along with the section in Brigg. David Brooks (talk) 22:33, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
