Talk:Butlin's Pwllheli

Proposed Move
When I wrote the original article, most sources I had refered to the camp as "Butlins Pwllheli" (Which was also how I remembered it pre-holiday worlds era) so I titled it likewise. On improving the articles on Billy Butlin himself, I've found that most early sources actually refer to it as Penychain holiday camp; mirroring early references to Skegness as "Ingoldmells" and Ayr as "Heads of Ayr" it seems sensible to move the article there with obvious redirects.

Shouldn't the page be titled 'Hafan Y Môr', as that is the current name? TomPwllheli (talk)

Penychain (holiday camp) → Butlin's Pwllheli — Recently all Butlins Camps were the subject of a RM to "Butlins Foo" or "Butlin's Foo" whilst this was resolved for current camps (and those camps that closed still as Butlins) the debate needs to be continued about what name these other articles should have. By most tests of WP:COMMMONNAME the name during the Butlins Era is far more common in reliable sources than any name it has had since. There may be an argument for spinning out the later history/name into it's own article but a debate needs to occur. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 15:56, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Heads of Ayr (holiday camp) → Butlin's Ayr
 * Mosney (holiday camp) → Butlin's Mosney
 * Barry Island (holiday camp) → Butlin's Barry Island
 * Support (though without expressing a preference as regards the apostrophe) - the proposed titles seem far more straightforward and recognizable.--Kotniski (talk) 12:04, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think the apostrophe is an issue in this case, these camps were all sold before Butlins stopped use of the apostrophe. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 13:40, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, full support then, including the apostrophe.--Kotniski (talk) 10:36, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
