The result of the move request was: moved. Though the discussion did not identify a clear WP:COMMONNAME for the village, a rough consensus emerged that the proposed title would be preferable under WP:NATURAL.

Westcliffe, Kent → West Cliffe – Per the Ordnance Survey and most other sources. No other uses at the Westcliffe DAB page appear to use "West Cliffe" per WP:SMALLDETAILS.

 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. The church certainly thinks it's Westcliffe. So does the village history group. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:59, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Slightly more sources (at least those like the OS that are usually considered the most authoritative) seem to use 2 words and even if 1 word was slightly more common WP:NATURAL should be preferred in borderline cases.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 08:59, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Lean support, while both spellings are used, signs (likely put up by a more authoritative source) such as here and here, use 2 words, as well as Vision of Britain and British-history.ac.uk. No clear preference found for one word, but makes sense to use the more official one and WP:NATURAL in mixed use cases mentioned above with no clear COMMONNAME. Of course, both spellings should be in the lead.  Dank Jae  08:44, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
