Removed "issues"

[edit]

This article had issues of requiring more references and requiring more links. It's essentially just a list of election results. It links to the places and the political parties, and all of the results (except the 2021 by-election) come from the same source, so there doesn't seem to be much more to link to or much more to cite.

We could have a link from each ward's result to the same reference if that was desirable but it wouldn't add any new information. --Mgp28 (talk) 11:33, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Requested move 30 October 2021

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved for 2019, not moved for 2007-2015.

It was clarified in the discussion that the council's name changed in 2018/2019 and on this basis the proposer agrees not to change the earlier articles. I doubt that the 2 editors who have simply !voted support intend to support moving the earlier articles regardless. In any case there is no apparent policy reason to do so. Accordingly, I find consensus to move the 2019 article only.(non-admin closure) Havelock Jones (talk) 10:31, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]


– Middlesbrough Council has been a unitary authority since 1996. It appears it has been called Middlesbrough Council, and not Middlesbrough Borough Council, since that time. I therefore suggest that articles about elections since then should be named in the same way as the name of the council.

Note that the article about the council is Middlesbrough Council, not Middlesbrough Borough Council Mgp28 (talk) 11:47, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, looks like the "Borough" was only dropped from the name around 2018/2019, so while I may tentatively support renaming the 2019 article, I would think the others should remain as-is, given "Borough" was part of the name at this respective time? Feel free to correct me if I got that wrong though. Bungle (talkcontribs) 16:29, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you — I struggled to find definitively when the name changed. If it was only in 2019 then I would agree not to change the 2007–2015 articles. --Mgp28 (talk) 17:09, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
