Salford Metropolitan Borough or City of Salford?

Seems to be an argument for removing the use of City of Salford to Salford Metropolitan Borough and vice versa so what's the concensus then? It'll just keep being changed and reverted without a concensus? DragonofBatley (talk) 08:09, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DragonofBatley, you are in a minority of yourself. It has never been called Salford Metropolitan Borough, it is the City of Salford and that is the consensus. Esemgee (talk) 15:48, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Esemgee:, far from a "minority of myself" as you put it. If you took the time to look at history tabs, you'd see others like @Dr.AndrewBamford: also question the name of the article and anons...DragonofBatley (talk) 16:20, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just because editors with odd, unreferenced points of view insert incorrect information doesn't mean there is an argument to change something that is correct and has endured since the article was created. Esemgee (talk) 20:12, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

The name of the article clearly has a typo in it. "Ciy" must be intended to be "City". 2A04:AE00:2811:1200:E83D:FB0F:9760:B89 (talk) 11:42, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
