– The London WikiProject naming conventions suggest that lists of things in boroughs should be named with the short form of the borough names (per WP:CONCISE), as in the current pages listed above. However, in the case of many boroughs (including Bexley, Lewisham, Greenwich, Ealing, Lambeth and others) this creates substantial ambiguity, as the boroughs have the same name as a locality within the borough. A talk page discussion on the matter indicated a possible consensus for altering this naming convention and the article titles listed above. This follows a recent CfD discussion which came to the same conclusion, and therefore moving these pages would be consistent with the corresponding categories. It should be noted that not all of these article titles create ambiguity (as in Havering, Barking and Dagenham etc.) but they are listed on the basis of consistency. I am open to the current page titles being maintained on that basis, but I feel that this consistency would be preferable. Some of the above articles are at the current title following previous Requested Moves which made the opposite change (see here for example), but the proposer of this requested move indicated in the above talk page discussion that they are in support of this action. I have listed here what I believe are all articles affected by this discussion, again for consistency, but I am open to omitting any exceptions, should they be identified.

  • Support move. In many cases the Bourough shares a name with one of its suburbs. JulianL (talk) 10:15, 30 May 2017 (UTC) - Likewise, it clearly disambiguates the London boroughs from suburbs and cities around the Commonwealth, etc. JulianL (talk) 10:22, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
