Talk:Stamford (UK Parliament constituency)

Dates
Dates of the Stamford constituency are given as 1295–1307 & 1467–1885, and yet a member is returned for 1322. I'm going to merge the date ranges as it seems that the constituency simply didn't bother to return members, but continued to exist in these years. Please revert and advise if wrong.

Merge

 * Comment May be best to add the detail to Stamford, Lincolnshire article rather than the current constituency article. Keith D (talk) 21:07, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The proposal suggests merging the parent into one of it's children!  There is a case for a single article covering the history of representation, but that would be a different merge.--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 21:43, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I agree with merger, because this list is too short to be a standalone, but per Keith D it would be better to merge the list to Stamford, Lincolnshire. The list refers to the parl representation of the town, not to any one constituency, so it belongs in the town article. -- Brown HairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 21:22, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
