This merge should be done ASAP. I believe this article has the more recognisable English form of the name. Walgamanus 18:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah i think the merge is a good idea - redirect from other page to here however. I think this is the most common spelling. Pydos 08:29, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. The other article should be merged to this one. --Jugbo 20:53, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Not sure what is meant by "more recognisable English form". Both words are Welsh neither are English. "Cantre'r Gwaelod" is probably the more recognised 'form', and you will find reference to it in most modern Welsh texts as such. 144.124.16.33 17:02, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, so I'm months behind. But why has Cantre'r Gwaelod been redirected to here? Wouldn't it go the other way around? Or, failing that, either/both to Cantref y Gwaelod? Telsa (talk) 16:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

The recent addition of the cy: page (which spells it Cantre'r Gwaelod) has reminded me of this, and I still want to know. Why is this en: one at Cantref Gwaelod? Telsa (talk) 11:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Cantre'r Gwaelod is the only correct form of the name. Apart from making no grammatical sense, "Cantref Gwaelod" is historically incorrect (and it's a name that goes back centuries and has a deep resonance in Welsh culture). I've read a great deal about Wales, in Welsh and English, and have never come across this version before. Let this be moved to Cantre'r Gwaelod, where it belongs, as soon as possible, please.

[edit] Requested move

See above: no-one has justified the original move since it was made a year ago. For the benefit of any admins, there is some further agreement that it should be at Cantre'r Gwaelod over on Wikipedia talk:Welsh Wikipedians' notice board#Cantref Gwaelod/Cantre'r Gwaelod. The only reason I listed the move request in the "Potentially controversial" section of WP:RM was that someone, at some stage, saw fit to move it here in the first place and I suppose they might come back. They're still wrong, but there you go :) Telsa (talk) 10:22, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Done. :) -- Arwel (talk) 12:21, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I, Telsa, was the one who originally merged "Cantre'r Gwaelod" to "Cantref Gwaelod", and I did it because there were two articles that pertained to the same subject. The consensus at the time, as you can see above, was that "Cantre'r Gwaelod" should be merged to "Cantref Gwaelod", so I did it since everyone else was just talking about it. Obviously, the name of the article is easily changed. Jugbo 18:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
