[edit] Merge

I am against the proposed merge of articles suggested it would cause a loss of information in many cases and an overloading of the main page. Notably a similar set of proposals was made by an anonymous user to disrupt the Portsmouth page and those of its schools information is here and also here -- Drappel 21:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Naming of articles about city suburbs

Can someone explain why the articles about the city suburbs have the suffix Hampshire rather than Southampton? e.g. Shirley, Hampshire rather than Shirley, Southampton (which is now a re-direct). As a Shirley resident, I don't consider that I live in Hampshire but rather in the City of Southampton, and I'm proud of it. On looking at the edit history, most of the articles were re-named in November 2006, with the edit summary "correct form of disambiguation". Where is this policy set out? Can you imagine renaming say, Edge Hill, Liverpool to Edge Hill, Lancashire simply because it falls within the boundaries of the old county of Lancashire?

[edit] Bassett / Bassett Green

A fair bit of stuff has been added to this article that is actually about Bassett Green, not Bassett. As I understand it, Bassett is largely to the west of The Avenue; the Flowers Estate, Basset Green Primary School, the Stoneham Arms etc. are all in Bassett Green.
