Talk:Woodhey, Merseyside

Merger
Have added a merge tag (with Bebington) to article - for what it's worth! Since this article was created in September 2006, it has not expanded beyond a small paragraph of useful content. I cannot find anything notable which could be referenced here. I'm hoping to be proved wrong... Snowy 1973 (talk) 15:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I strongly agree. It should be noted that an earlier formal suggestion to change the name from Woodhey, Cheshire was defeated when I proposed it (the argument being that it used to be part of Cheshire and was thus useful to have around for family history researchers), but it seemed so ridiculous that I changed the name months afterwards with no come-back on the grounds that it was blatantly inaccurate, there was an agreement that we should describe things as they are now, rather then use out of date county boundaries, and that it long been a suburb of Bebington. I think the merger you are proposing is actually long overdue. (There are other places in Cheshire called Woodhey, and so a merger would have to deal with the disambiguation page, but if you want I could sort that out when the merger happens.)

 * Thanks for pointing this out DDS. Despite being a traditional counties type of person, I'm also a realist and settlement articles should be concerned about now. I don't normally want to remove articles about places from Wikipedia but this is one of numerous stubs that's stagnated, despite efforts to source verifiable content on my part. A merger/redirect to Bebington seems the only plausable answer. Like I said, perhaps we could be proved wrong! Snowy 1973 (talk) 15:55, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Done it. Original author hasn't made any contributions since 2006.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 16:12, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
