"Confusing" template

I realize this is a "List of" but it makes too many assumptions about what the reader knows. I first thought this was about the U.S. city Cleveland, Ohio. Either the intro should briefly explain the following terms or there should be a Notes section with short explanations. Someone not familiar with the U.K. political structure should not have to click on 8 links to understand the basics:

Is Cleveland a county, a city, or something else?
parliamentary constituency
constituency
county council area
ceremonial county
borough constituency
county constituency
local government wards
Replace "current" with a date.

Also, this looks like a lot more than a "List of". Why isn't it just "Parliamentary constituencies in Cleveland, England"?

May/June 2009 Proposal for Deletion

Computerjoe's rationale for deletion (posted on my talk page as article creator) was:

Cleveland doesn't exist; why on earth is there an article on its parliamentary composition?

The reason this area is treated separately is that the Boundary Commission for England treated it separately from North Yorkshire and County Durham in the 2004/5 boundary review. Their web site lists this review as "Cleveland", although the detailed press releases refer to "the area covered by the unitary authorities of Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, and Stockton-on-Tees". I do not think there would be much enthusiasm for article titles like List of Parliamentary constituencies in the area covered by the unitary authorities of Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, and Stockton-on-Tees. This is one of a set of short lists / articles covering the whole of England, see Category:Lists of UK Parliamentary constituencies in England, and if simply deleted would leave this area undescribed. The areas of the former counties of Avon and Humberside are treated the same way - Berkshire, Cheshire and Bedfordshire are slightly different as they are still ceremonial counties.

As to whether it should be "List of ..." or not, as mentioned by Martin Klein above, it seemed right as there is no actual information about the individual constituencies here, merely pointers to their own articles.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 08:09, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
