Laverstock and Ford → Laverstock – We usually don't have articles on parish councils and the name of the village and civil parish is just "Laverstock". The parish council doesn't appear to be grouped so that means that it covers the same area as the civil parish which as can be seen includes Ford.

 * Oppose. Well, the parish council certainly think the parish is called Laverstock and Ford. And they live there. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:15, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes but the name of the village is just "Laverstock" and we usually create the article based on the village, see Hamstead Marshall for example. And we usually don't have separate articles on the village and parish.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 10:36, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, but as far as I can see we don't have an article on Ford. Given the parish puts equal weight on both villages, I can't see why we would move the article just to Laverstock. That would only be justified if we also created an article for Ford. Then I'd support the move. The problem with that, however, would be what we called it, given there's already Ford, Wiltshire, about another village of the same name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:11, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * The other Ford would be Ford, North Wraxall and this would be Ford, Laverstock. There is Kirkoswald, Cumbria and there was an article at Kirkoswald and Renwick. Similarly Wistow, Leicestershire isn't at Wistow and Newton Harcourt (or Wistow cum Newton).  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 17:12, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

Laverstock and Ford → Laverstock – Official name of village and parish has precedence over name of parish council. Wire723 (talk) 14:50, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Comment by proposer: Source for the village/parish name is https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/election-maps/gb/
 * The same move request was made 2.5 years ago by and opposed on the grounds that Ford has no separate article. My research found little notability – a hamlet, farmland and a modern housing estate – therefore I expanded the Ford subsection here instead. Moving this article to its correct name will not prevent the creation of a Ford article in future. Wire723 (talk) 14:59, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Support we use the name of the CP for parish articles and anyway this is a village as well so we use that name for village/parish articles, as noted an article can be created on Ford. Also note per WP:COMMONAME the parish council can call its CP what it wants but often only it and the district council will use it while all other sources will use the OS name.
