Talk:Perth metropolitan region

Proposed merge with Metropolitan Region Scheme
The Metropolitan Region Scheme covers the same area as the Perth Metropolitan Region; the history of the Perth Metropolitan Region is the Metropolitan Region Scheme. Individually the articles are weak, combining them will make a much better article. Batternut (talk) 11:05, 27 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Oppose. This doesn't make sense. The MRS is the major planning document for the metropolitan area: merging it into this (already fairly confused) article would just result in a really confused article. I'm not exactly sure why we need an article on the different definitions of the Perth metropolitan area (although I suppose it can't hurt), but mangling an article on planning regulation into a page about the various definitions of what constitutes the city of Perth is super unhelpful.

 * Oppose. The Perth Metropolitan Area relates to its physical and administrative area (which differs dependeing on who is defining it). The MRS on the other hand is a town planning document. In my view, the two are only related by coincidence, have different meanings in their context, and shouldn't be merged. Rund717 (talk) 15:22, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
