Craven (Bradford ward) → Craven Ward — I moved each of these to the proposed names, but some people disagreed and they were moved back. However, I don't believe this is the best set of names. These documents (list of candidates in the 2010 local elections, list of polling stations in 2011, Shipley area calendar, Shipley newsletter, plus these guides from the local newspaper - Ilkley, Shipley, Bingley, Bradford) demonstrate that "X Ward" is a fairly common way of referring to wards. In addition, the Craven (Bradford ward) article has its current name based on the possibility of other similarly-named wards but there are none as yet, apart from the possibility of confusion with neighbouring Craven District, so it would be acceptable to have something like Craven Ward, Bradford if necessary. Also the City (ward) article definitely presents a chance of confusion because City ward redirects to Ward (country subdivision). Green Giant (talk) 22:37, 7 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Tong (ward) → Tong Ward
 * City (ward) → City Ward, Bradford
 * Wharfedale (ward) → Wharfedale Ward
 * Bingley (ward) → Bingley Ward
 * Oppose the use of (ward) is the usual qualifier for articles that refer to wards there is no reason to use a capital for the word Ward as it is just a qualifier. See for example entries in Category:Wards of Bristol. Keith D (talk) 23:15, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose there is no reason why non-standard qualifiers should be used. Equally there is no reason for xxxx, West Yorkshire to be replaced wholesale by xxxx, Bradford. These standards are well-established and I can see no logic in any city not following them. S a g a C i t y (talk) 23:39, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - How can these be non-standard when this is the style used by the local council when listing election candidates and polling stations? Green Giant (talk) 17:29, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Non-standard in terms of Wiki naming conventions which does not use official names in its naming. Keith D (talk) 21:20, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * As is using the city name rather than the ceremonial county name for disambiguation puposes. This practice is not "wrong" - but is contrary to the way things are done in Wikipedia. S a g a C i t y (talk) 16:14, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
